hey /ic/, i'm looking to apply to some concept artist/UI artist positions in my area, and i was wondering how/if i can go about showing some work i've done for a previous company? and should i ask for my company's permission before letting some of the work i've done for them is shown to others?
i know some people password lock their pages with work they've done for other companies, but is this ethical?
some mingzhu yang for your troubles.

I don't see why not unless they specifically said to you in the contract to not share it anywhere.
IMO best way would be getting low-res sample of your work or detail or even sketch, credit that it was done for such and such company and all should be well.

ah, well isn't an NDA's purpose is to serve just that?
good idea on the rest though.

Did you not read what you signed? Anyways, as a general rule, you can post the artwork on your site or whatever after the product has been published. If it is internal early concept stuff some contracts though don't allow it to ever be shown publicly.
You can show it in private via email in pdf or whatever when talking with other companies, just mention it is NDA so not to be shared and don't discuss those other projects in detail, just show the artwork. This is a very common practice and without doing it people in certain areas of the field with insane NDAs (like some film concept work) literally would not be able to find work otherwise since everything for like the past 5 years would be unable to be shown.
