how much work is there in Europe?

[catterpillar]

here's a good question: how much concept work is there in Europe, the UK etc? I know most games are made in the US but cossacks and sudden strike were cool - they were from Europe.

comeon guys - half of you are german aren't you? surely someone can give me a rough estimate?

Theres a lot of work if you have the skills and your portfolio shows it, after all, Europe is kinda big... There is also a relatively new scene in eastern Europe that for the last five years or so, has produced great computer games, the first one to come to mind is Hidden & dangerous. Dont know much about the UK though.

I believe that if you have a strong portfolio and youre not afraid to spam every company in Europe with it, you´re bound to get some work, somewhere.

cooool. Its probably a little less competative than the US, no?

I think it´s more competitive than the market in the US or Japan because we haven´t got as many companies around that have the need for Conceptart. I know just the scene here in Germany and the chances to get a job are quite few - especially when you´ve got to compete against people like Marko or Robolus ;). If someone can prove me I´m wrong I would be glad but In my experience there isn´t much need for this stuff.

You can prepare yourself for running around with your portfolio a lot ...
