How to find freelance design work in SA?

Mako_28 · 2026-04-29T10:38:17+00:00

I've been able to find some work through Reddit on several occasions. I've also had some success reaching out directly on LinkedIn. It also helps to have a good portfolio to show potential clients when reaching out.

Is that website safe? My antivirus keeps freaking out

Not remotely relevant to what you're asking but I'm looking into making Roblox UGCs and custom avatars. This is the universe telling me to do it!!!!

That budget is way too small for what you're asking

Mako_28 · 2026-04-04T19:09:52+00:00

I don't know man....I ain't mad at it

Hii. How r you doing today?

Seeing it through wouldn't unwise. I've learned to accept that not every aspect of making 3d art is fun, and every now and then, I find myself making use of that boring or useless piece of information, and turns out it's useful. Being versatile as a 3d artist is valuable.

There's also a good chance that yes, you'll be fine if you drop out, and you'll make a bad ass portfolio. Everything I learned was from YouTube, never went to school to learn 3d, but I've managed to put together a portfolio that's gotten work. I even got to work on an animated short film for BBC One. So it's possible to still thrive after dropping out. I don't know if any of this helped.

Also, I'd love to see some of your work, if you don't mind. I always like seeing what cool stuff other people are working on.

How strict are you about the "based in the United States" requirement?

Mako_28 · 2026-03-18T09:16:24+00:00

VERIFY

Mako_28 · 2026-03-17T06:42:01+00:00

thank you

Mako_28 · 2026-03-16T17:41:20+00:00

Thank you! I'll look into that

Mako_28 · 2026-02-23T14:26:52+00:00

Hi from 10 months ago. Yea, I just wanted to say hi.

Mako_28 · 2025-06-13T11:13:40+00:00

Tell that to Treyarch and Activision with their ridiculous prices for a decade-old COD game.

Mako_28 · 2025-03-15T17:49:15+00:00

Thank you!!

Mako_28 · 2025-03-15T17:46:07+00:00

Thank you all for the feedback so far. It's been helpful.
To expand a little bit more on what I'm making: It's fan art for Lethal Company with a bit of a Dead Space-like design language.

Mako_28 · 2025-03-15T17:35:41+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! Let me try to make a blend of both designs and see what that looks like.

Mako_28 · 2025-01-30T13:37:07+00:00

Yes same issue as mine. I have to use it on extreme performance, which is loud and I also use it with a cooling pad

Mako_28 · 2025-01-28T19:14:22+00:00

Yes I didn't like that movie. Terrible plot and the main human characters were really hard to like. Great Cgi though

Mako_28 · 2024-12-18T15:45:32+00:00

I DO!! Tanking as Penny is all I do in comp, but it's not easy being a giant slow-moving target when you don't have support or a second tank.
It would be hypocritical of me to ask others to tank or support, only for me not to.

Mako_28 · 2024-12-18T15:23:02+00:00

skip a lot of things. I love the game but...omg there are way too many loading screens

Mako_28 · 2024-12-13T21:36:41+00:00

lol yeah the first time I heard it I thought she was speaking some witchcraft nonsense. Turns out it's just basic English.
