so true. i was on an independant game company art team a while ago, after the project fell through the guy who was the lead artist took me under his wing and became a mentor to me. not long after the game fell through he got snapped up by Red Storm. after a few weeks of intense mentoring from him i managed to land my first job. and this all came from working on an independant game. i encourage anyone wanting a job to keep an eye out for anyone hiring for a mod or independant game. at the very least if your work isnt good enough they will tell you and maybe sugest what you can do to get it better. which will help you get a job later on down the track.
awesome article cris.
