By popular demand, here are the details about our upcoming Animation Jam in November! We're hosting a month-long online community event to give artists space to collaborate on original portfolio pieces. -Mike

What’s a portfolio jam?

This is a community event where teams of artists work together to produce 20-seconds of animation, each following a theme. The purpose of this jam is to give students and early-career artists an opportunity to collaborate on portfolio pieces together.

Teams of three are encouraged, but projects could be completed by groups of any size. There are no restrictions on techniques or software, so long as assets are not generated by AI.

When’s the portfolio jam?

The jam’s theme will be announced at 8:00 PM Eastern on Saturday, November 1st on Cartoon Recruit’s discord server. The theme will be silly and appropriate for post-Halloween. Artists will have up to 7 days to complete their jam films. In order to participate, projects must be uploaded to YouTube by November 24 before midnight (in your timezone) with links sent by email to mike@cartoonrecruit.com along with your team’s name.

The films will each be screened during a livestream on Cartoon Recruit’s Discord server at 8:00 PM Eastern on Sunday, November 30th. There will be a panel of judges as well as a community vote.

How to portfolio jam?

If you don’t already have a team assembled, you can look for one on the Cartoon Recruit Discord server through the #portfolio-jam-lfg board or anywhere else you can wrangle friends and colleagues together. Once you have a team of three ready, fill out this form.

Will there be prizes?

Cartoon Recruit doesn’t endorse spec work or contests. We’re only playing for bragging rights and a film that you can feel proud to have in your portfolio.

Hey, uh, what’s Cartoon Recruit?

CartoonRecruit.com is an ad-free job board for finding studios actively hiring in animation, game development and VFX. Whether you’re an early career artist or a seasoned professional, our goal is to provide the resources that you need to connect with your next animation job. And we’re interested in hosting more online events in the future.

Sometimes all you have is 5 minutes for a drawing, and I’m trying to get better at drawing different figures that have different gestures to them. #draweveryday #drawtober #drawtober2025

Dont know if this works here, but this was my first animation that I went full ass on. . . . and I forgot just how far it went on twitter until I looked it up again. Big shook.

When you’re fielding cover artists, keep me in mind! :) I do more sword and sorcery things in my free time, but I’m versatile!

Dren from Earth @invaderdren.bsky.social · 12/11/2024

It’s easy when you’re very online to see it, but I think a comprehensive view of what the äï scene looks like should be convincing enough. Maybe it’s just hard to believe how bleak these people are until you’ve actually seen it so, show them.

Dren from Earth @invaderdren.bsky.social · 12/11/2024

Seems like a pretty tight action-adventure pitch overall! The cover artist will probably need to know more about it before drafting up thumbnails though. Possibly read a few chapters. But immediately kinda has a bit of historical fiction assassins creed vibes.

lol sounds like it sucked. I miss when tumblr was fun to use rip

Wait does twitch flag sketches as nudity if you start with just the body in a drawing? That seems kind of overboard…

Dren from Earth @invaderdren.bsky.social · 12/11/2024

I’d keep the twitter account live just so that no one can impersonate you, but otherwise maybe pull your art and maybe reupload it with glaze/nightshade

Da Vinci is pretty great for the most part, it’s just that sometimes it has issues that require esoteric solutions lol. Like if the exports have artifacts you have to save it to a location further away from the source footage files. Weird stuff like that
