I've been going around as a writer, but started getting drawn into Concept Art and 3D modeling. I'm currently finishing my studies as a 3D artist and will then be let loose on the world. Beware!

Jeez - I'm looking for work in my town Hamburg, Germany. If you ever look for work in games, don't come here. Last year Bigpoint released some 200 developers and they are still swarming around here. It's virtually impossible to even get as much as an internship.  

After 3 years of studying and looking back on all the things I can do (write, paint, model/texture) that is quite a setback. So what to do?
The only thing I know to do is to apply worldwide now. I hope to find a position, where I can learn writing for games or work as a consultant to the writers. Since I worked as storyliner before, I might be able to help. However, if I find work in a bigger studio it will probably be so specialized, I won't have much time to think about other things. 

I wonder what the work situation is like out there for "ordinary" people. I have gone to college and took some extra courses. I got degrees in English and Spanish Language, wrote and co-wrote several books and screenplays AND I learned 3D and most everything involved. You'd think that would score me a job, right? Polly want a cracker?

Meant to say thnx re: DCD comments last week, hope I didn't seem overly defensive in my reply. The biggest reason that I'm doing DCD alone is because initially nobody wanted to help.

I'm no longer with the staff, but if you resend me the script, I'd be happy to read through it.

Since I left, it seems like features have died, so I don't think there's much chance of things getting done for advertisement. If I chat with anyone that is still actively working on them, though, I'll bring it up.

Noticed your news post comment - the 'Sacrator' models are mostly bought (if not all of them). You can find them on Turbosquid, and they're nowhere near game-ready, if at all game-useable.

He hasn't a clue, hasn't a team and has a lot of evidence in his forum profile;
Moddb.com

Amusingly, both me and leilei have pointed out links to his 'teams models' on Turbosquid, but those comments get deleted.

Well actually a guy called Perkan drew the concepts. He made the illustrations for the core rule books and some world books for the roleplaying game we base our mod on. Those concepts are even more beutiful, we also have another illustrator that has illustrated the game books in our team. But he hasnt drawn any concepts we will use for the mod yet. He will make some 3d characters for us, he is very talented also.

I also draw but at the moment I only do management stuff. Really looking forward to the development phase of this project. To see things youve only seen illustrated and imagined becoming more real in 3d. =)
