Hello,
My name is Adam Cline and I am a 3D Artist. I was browsing your site and was wondering if you had any positions available. I am able to work full time and freelance. I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks

Thanks for the interest Adam, we are not currently at a place where we are looking to hire. A few months after the launch of Saturday Morning RPG will be the best time to check back about that.
Hello, my name is Maurice Carter and I am an artist in Greensboro, NC interested in working in games. I would like to work with Mighty Rabbit if there are any projects that could use my services. Please see my online portfolio and resume at mauricecarter.daportfolio.com. Thank you for your time.
Maurice, same thing goes as for Adam. Your portfolio looks cool and the style is along the lines of future game ideas that our company has on the drawing board. That being said, we will get in touch with you if those become projects more than just dreamin’.
For anyone interested in jobs with us or in the game industry: email to jobs@mightyrabbitstudios.com is the best way to get in touch with us about that. If we don’t respond it doesn’t mean we don’t care, we’re just more focused on making awesome games at that time. You may also send general networking inquiries to me: alan@mightyrabbitstudios.com and as with all networking, it does not guarantee a dream job instantly, but it’s a good way to get to know people and figure it out for yourself. Knowing is half the battle.
