From working at Ubisoft to making furry porn for a living - Game designer posting L

Dumbass got fired, started making Furry VR porn avatars and thanks to that he cant share a portfolio with new potential employers.

Original;

Looking for advices for this kind of situation, sorry in advance for the rant.

4+ Months ago I got laid off a job at Ubisoft because of the usual budget cuts, finished my studies last year tho so I'm still considered a junior artist and haven't been able to find any new jobs since that.

I have a really strong portfolio according to my teachers and other devs I talked to, graduated from a good 3d oriented college and got multiple games shipped on steam via studies or freelance work so what went wrong?

Maybe I'm not looking in the right places? which websites do you mainly use for finding jobs? so far i tried Linkedin, Glassdoor, Gamejobs and very often go to studio's websites or country specific job boards but all I get is either a rejection in under a week or get ghosted.

In the last 4 months only one company let me do a test and interviews, now they are "doing a review on the role requirements" and say I might just not get the job because of budget cuts.

I spent most of my life abroad so I can apply anywhere in Europe/US without a visa, I thought that would open more opportunities but, anytime I apply online and need to enter my address or show i don't currently live near their location I get a feeling my CV/resume goes in the trash.

Since i cant afford to be unemployed for so long I now do NSFW furry art on the side and I don't know what's more depressing: making those artworks I hate or that it pays more and was easier to find than most jobs I even try to apply to and get rejected from.

In under 2 weeks of posting in furry servers with an empty portfolio and new identity I got job offers that paid over 50$/h and it kept going up from there as the more commissions I did, the more this new portfolio grew. should i just give up and make this my full time job despite how depressing it can be?

(no offence to any furries reading this btw, you at least know how to pay and respect your workers)

These commissions aren't visible to recruiters or the jobs I apply to. I keep this kind of work very far away from my real identity except for close friends but not my family.

I just hope you guys have some advice to get out of a situation like this because I'm running out of ideas, I guess venting here helped a little :(
