You're are welcome!
I love the aircrafts you're creating! And the way they are presented (the whole "page" design) is very nice!

Awesome,very nice to hear that! Β
Although i do struggle a bit to find more people who might buy them for their games,animations , movies,student projects and such.Β
In case you have any ideas on how to find the proper market for them, I would really,really appretiate it!
Thank you very much!

Wow! Your work is amazing and you're struggling to find buyers?!?! It may just be the way you are advertising yourself.
Where else are you showcasing your work? Some good places would be: - CG Society - Artstation - Facebook - Youtube (why not to post some speedpaint/speedsculpt videos on youtube? Or some quick tutorial?)
You can work remotely, so did you try checking the websites of such companies? I do check a lot of android games companies sometimes, just to have a sense of how the market is moving. Sometimes they pay freelancers , but you need to be cautious with the contracts. Unless you are really needing money, don't lower your rates. I've seen some professional concept artists complaining that Fantasy Flight was only paying USD 100 per work (that is like paying only USD 11/hour for a piece that takes 9 hours to finish).
Join some concept art, computer graphics or similar kinds of forums. In many of them, there are categories dedicated to work related topics, where companies or individuals make open requests and any artist in the forum can contact them and try to get a deal. I've seen a lot of offers in the following: Blender Artists Community, Cartographers Guild (dedicated to creating maps and levels for different media) and CG Society. Again, they need to be professional and you too! Get a good deal that will pay what you deserve.

What about your networks???
Hope this can be helpful!

Wow awesome Β ,thank you!!
I am in a situation where I am a lead artist on an independant game project and I cant really work with anyone Β else at this time,so I can only sell the models I have allready done at this time.
I am on Sketchfab,DA+ DA groups,Artstation,few Facebook groups,Polycount and Youtube. Β I plan to make some streams when I make more time for them.
While I was freelancing my rate was 20$ per hour modeling only,25-30 if I also concept simultaneously,and video creation,montage,story boarding,rendering,post processing is 40$...
Β You have given me some cool Β tips ,so thank you very much! Great tip on the Android market!!!
And thank you so much for that video,I will check that out immediately!Β

Cool!
Independent game project?! That is cool, but are you earning anything out of it now? Maybe your team can get funding via Patreon or Kickstarter. Patreon is also a good alternative for making some small income.
I also thought that all your sci-fi ships can be of the interest of hobbists that like miniatures. . Did you find any company that produces miniatures for hobbists? Not necessary miniatures for board games, but for hobby (like for example, Gundam mechas). You already have the miniatures on turbo-squid! Maybe you should 3D print them and Kickstart your miniatures as a package for sci-fi games! I've seen a lot of people doing that in kicksarter. They produce a series of miniatures and get crowdfunded in Kickstarter. It is good, because you don't need to produce an entire game, just the miniatures for general use!
All the best! And your work will continue to inspire me in my studies!!!Β

Yeah,We kind of get funded ,but it is a bare minimum,until the project is finished. I have been thinking about Patreon too,but this would require more public exposure.
No need for Kickstarter jst yet.Β
As for miniatures,I am constantly moving that idea all over my mind,but 3D printing is nowhere near the quality i want in terms of coloring,I have,however been thinking about contacting some companies that do that...
Also it is tooo expensive still. Not sure how those guys bypass the printing prices.
But an awesome idea,so thank you again. I will try my best not to dissapoint you!

They send the models to print in China. The colour is not necessary in my opnion. Many hobbists like to paint their miniatures.

Ohh yeah,the molds are expensive ,though. But self-painting this is a cool factor.Β

Oh, I saw on your description that you're struggling with wrist pain. Did you recover already?
π: 0 β©: 1
Ahh not yet, unfortunately ;; It comes and goes, and gets worse whenever I have to type for long periods of time ;v;
I'm trying my best not to aggravate it so that i can draw as much as I can during winter break! Thank you for your concern though ///

Ok! Be careful!
It was nice that you shared it. A lot of artists suffer from wrist and arm pain from repetitive motion for long periods of time (repetitive strain injury).
If you can see a doctor, try a physiotherapist or orthopedist. Rest well and do some stretching exercises for wrists and arms.Β
All the best!!!

You're most than welcome! Nice art! Any idea of what will be your next inner monster? Sometimes I feel like I am some sort of Frankenstein... made of several fragments of different experiences of my life...Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Sorry for a delayed responseΒ Yes!Β I have a lot of ideas about "my inner monster." Many ideas, but too little time. Β Β
π: 0 β©: 1
It's ok! No worries for the delayed response!
Slowly develop your personal ideas and enjoy the process! Just don't stop trying to do it, even if its just a few sketches in the bus or in a queue!
π: 0 β©: 1
Sketches is a good thing. But, I want to turn the sketches into a full picture.Β A little time and inspiration, and the work will not take longΒ
