What is the best resource for portfolio building as a Game Artist?

I'm looking to build a website to show off some of my work, but I'm not sure what the best option is. There are a lot of website-building services, but most have fees. Are there any good free options or should I bite the bullet and buy something like squarespace? For context, I am a rising junior studying game art. I'm a 3d generalist, but I mainly want to show off my modeling in Zbrush.

Does a QA tester position open any future career opportunities?

I've seen QA tester job listings at many different game developers and I've always wanted to be a part of the gaming industry. But a lot of these job listings are only temporary employment and I'm afraid the sacrifice that accompanies these positions might outweigh the reward. Does having a QA tester position help further my skills and experience as a competent/applicable person for a game development position higher up the chain? #video-games #game-development #video-game-development #gaming-industry #video-game-production #personal-development #career-details

Are game design companies constantly looking for interns?

I plan to go into Digital Media and Design in college so I can learn how to become a Video Game Developer. I was thinking that if I wanted to get a chance at joining a game company, an internship at one might be good for my resume. Are U.S. Game Design companies always open to hiring interns? #digital-media #video-game-design #video-game-development #video-game-production #video-game-programming #video-games
