>In 1985, artist Akira Yasuda (Akiman) showed up to a Capcom

I remember /ic/ telling me about this and how the nips like entertaining people and leaving a good impression on the first meet.

So the answer is yes, it does work, but you can't copy other people.

>You don't have a job yet son? Why you just need to take your portfolio, walk down to the art studio and ask to speak with the art director. Slam your portfolio on the table and refuse to leave until you are given a job. That's what I did and I got a huge salary and tons of vacation time and a generous pension. You just lack gusto, that's why you don't have work.

>>2902252
It's a gamble because you'd need someone with great sense of humor but you have to back it up with skill, lad.

welll Akiman simply doesn't give a fuck.

He prolly think capcom is just another studio that he can apply. If he gets rejected he'll just find another one that he'll apply to.

I remember doing something like this when I was swamped with work and bored.

So when an advertising company called me over to be their story board artist, I said, why not ? I need to go out sometimes,

I just wore a jean and a paid shirt and I never brought any portfolio in the interview. I told them to look up my carbonmade portfolio in their laptop.

Needless to say. I didn't get the job but I don't care since I'm swamped with work anyway. funny thing is the art director always call me whenever they need something done.

>liked Yasuda's work.
>would this work now?


Yes, you see, if the guy interviewing you is already a fan you don't even need to show up in order to get the job.

He made himself more presentable by being below their level

Remember unemployed fags. you get work however you get work.
Literally anything goes, but what works for others most likely won't work for you.
Working is literally a joke, just look at the financial crisis that happened in 2008.
If you get to the interview stage, whether or not you get hired is literally based on obscure bullshit.
Most of these management people just binge management websites like Bersin to get trendy buzzwords to feel smart.

Reminds me of this.

I think it was more of a joke than anything else, but he filmed himself getting kicked in the balls to show his dedication. If I remember correctly he wasn't supposed to be kicked that hard but the girl kicking did it seriously. It was back like years ago when concept art was a smaller industry and if it was indeed for Massive Black then it's literally for a company that has a porn name as a joke so this type of thing fits in with the goofy sort of culture.

>>2903471
>wondering what Massive Black is
>look it up
Whoa, these guys are amazing.

>>2903474
Yeah they are considered high end and have been for a while. Since it involved a lot of the same people that started conceptart.org it basically was the goal at one point for like half the industry to work for them.

Also check out their logo to get the joke with the name.

>>2903471
but his willfully taken abuse wasn't his main selling point?
