Generally, the bigger the company, the more specialized the roles are. A huge game company, such as Electronic Arts for example, hires many people each specializing in very selective areas. There are hired roles for monster and creature design, but you must be very good at the respected role. These days, concept design for modelers seems to be really in demand, although it is not the work I have been scouting for, so I couldn't point you in any particular direction.Small companies are the reverse of big ones, if you are a jack of all trades person, you stand a better chance of working there. Anyway, basic rule is though, that in either case, you have to be better than everyone else who applied for the job, but once in a while, you might just get lucky.

Getting started in art can be a hard thing to do in many cases. This January there is a new newspaper coming out just for kids. They are looking for any donations for this paper. There is no pay involved, but each peice will be credited to the artist.
It is a good way to start a portfolio in this feild and show work experience. ( I have found this can pay off in the long run)
If you would like to donate any of your work, the editor will decide whether to use it or not. (I am not the editor, so if not chosen, don't hate on me)
If the work is used, I will make sure that you are sent multiple copies of the paper for your portfolio and that you can show work experience.
The works they are looking for would be coloring pages, hidden picture find, mazes, what's wrong with this picture, things you have already seen in chilren's magazines.
Here is a sample of one I did. Picture Find
If you are interested, send me some of your work so the editor can go through it and decide.

Wow, I never thought I'd see this topic rise from the murkey depths  Feels like half a year since I posted my original response (Wouldn't be surprised if it was)Hate to say, but in my experience, charity and volunteer art doesn't seem to work as well on a resume or portfolio as paid for work... I guess in a sort of worldly sort of way, an artist's work is only as good as how much they can be paid for it, and paid for work carries much more weight than volunteer work (It definitely says something if people are willing to pay for your work)... not to say that volunteer work doesn't pay in it's own way, but it just doesn't seem to have that "Omph" on your resume compared to paid jobs. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule, but in society, it's pretty hard to ignore the "Money = Respect" mantra incorporated to commercial businesses.
