Hi forum,
My name is Jose Galue, I am 33 years old and I've been a graphic designer for the past 5 years. I am lucky enough to have a full-time job that pays well, below some of the graphic design work I've done. (Full portfolio: www.jose-galue.com)
However, in January 2017 I took the possibility of becoming an illustrator seriously. I started to take classes here at SVS learning to improve my art during my free time, sometimes as early as 5 am before going to work and others around 7 pm after a full day of work. Now, after 3 years of improvement, I think I now have a visual development artist portfolio, at least I think I do. Below some of the pieces I've done.

My goal is clear, the ideal job is to have a visual development position at a feature film or TV animation studio.
I know most people here are working on their children's book skills and I've tried some spreads here and there. However, I keep coming back to visual development. There is no longer a confusion where my love is.
My question for the forum is, what now? I am not ready to quit until I get a job. My portfolio, I assume, will keep evolving with more pieces.
Is the portfolio ready to start applying? Let me know your experience or opinions.
Thank you everybody in advance for your time.
Jose
