A Junior's struggling journey in the current industry

Description

I will talk about my journey, from studying for five years and getting a Bachelor, working at Larian Studios as an intern 3D Character Artist on Baldurs Gate 3, and not being able to join the team because of Baldurs Gate 3 ending and what jumps and loops I have gone through this last year, from living in Barcelona then losing my apartment because of a fire, having to move back to my parents in Belgium with my partner for a couple of months, then moving back to Spain with my partner. Not being able to land a job or how I reach end stages but not get picked because I am a junior with not a full year of experience as an artist full-time but decided to go freelance and have gigs here and there but being mentally abused by them or not being taken seriously because of being a junior to eventually combining a full-time job with freelance and pushing myself to make art every day to be able to fulfill my dream to become a 3D Character artist.
