Hi! I am currently looking for an experienced 3D Character Artist to work on a game project and would like to hear your opinion. I have several character concept arts and it is important for me to find a specialist who can not only model and texture, but also convey the character, emotion and style of the characters in 3D. How important is it for you to see a portfolio of already realized game characters, and not just student work? And what criteria do you consider key when choosing an artist for long-term cooperation?

A portfolio really shows whether the artist can handle complex characters. For me, seeing finished game-ready assets is much more valuable than just practice work. It proves they can deliver under real project conditions
I have used various resources to find freelance artists in the past, but none of them offered such a convenient and structured approach. Devoted Fusion is an updated version of Devoted CG, focused on gamedev and digital art. The platform unites over 3,000 professional artists from all over the world, offering access to over 30,000 art assets in 20+ categories, including 2D and 3D characters, environments, animation, VFX and UI design. I was especially impressed by the ability to filter artists by styles, genres and skills, which significantly speeds up the selection process. I also appreciate the presence of the SmART Feed section, where you can track current works and trends.
I fully understand your request and would like to share my experience. For me, choosing a 3D character artist always starts with a portfolio — it is real game projects that show how a specialist can convey the character, emotions and style of characters, and not just technical skills. Student works can be interesting, but they rarely reflect the ability to work within the framework of the game mechanics and style of the project. Personally, I pay attention to attention to detail, the ability to work with textures and rigging, as well as a creative approach to creating unique images. For long-term cooperation, it is important to see that the artist can understand the concept and adapt to the requirements of the project. Recently, I used the service https://devotedfusion.com/hire/3d-characters/ to search for professionals, where you can find experienced 3D character artists who can implement even complex ideas — this really helped speed up the process and improve the quality of work.
