I’ve been working as an immunologist for years, but lately I’ve been drawn to character design as a creative outlet. I’m curious how freelancing could fit into this especially since my background is so different. For those of you who’ve made the leap, how did you start finding clients or building a portfolio? I’m also wondering if there are specific platforms or communities that work well for character designers. Any advice on balancing this with a full-time job would be great too!
