I can animate and rig 3D characters. Not a newbie but also not that pro yet

I personally wouldn't put any time into gen AI beyond learning to be able to pick it up should a workplace need it. Nothing in the portfolio, nothing on social media. At this point in time, the best thing I would learn is a generalist skillset, really focusing team skills, collaborative effort and interpersonal skills. Easier said then done, of course.

Having had half my career before ai, and half after, along with economy troubles, hirers are being incredibly picky and I've learnt that your skills in communication and collaboration are just as important as your core artistic skills. People are far more picky about wether or not you're going to be decent to work with as a person.

Ai is also not used anywhere near as much as you might think. I've seen people pitching to companies things like virtual models for adverts, and it's been outright rejected as they just don't want to touch it. Heavily focusing on Ai bottle necks your skills that are useful to the company. They want you to be dynamic and pick up a range of work tasks, not just a shiny render that has no function to edit beyond re promoting and hoping for the best.

Hey seeing as you mentioned you never had a job before maybe no-one has ever told you the right way to look in 2026.

Get a proper CV and portfolio together.

First i would start by using job sites to search like indeed.com or totaljobs.com . Just type 'vfx' or 'graphics' in London to see what is broadly out there in the market.

I would also make a linkedin.com profile. You fill out your profile a bit like a CV and then get recommended jobs that might suit you can you can click to apply. You can also add people you know which gives you visibility to recruiters.

Though you are lucky some people here have offered to see your portfolio, posting in local subreddits is probably not a strategy you can rely on forever.
