Getting back in contact with the professional concept artist who gave me feedback on my castle concept art to ask him questions on how he had gotten into the games industry was easier than i initially thought as i had sent the e-mail just ten minutes and received a reply in minutes of sending and here is the reply i had gotten from him and below that is what i had asked him adn i have also sent e-mails and messages via twitter to artists and companies on the similar questions.Ifraz,
The way I got into the game industry is that I have a strong online presence and a website. All of my work has been from either word of mouth or from people finding my website. I haven't actually had to go and apply at any companies, they always just call me for work. You can try sending your portfolio to different companies. Look at sites like gamasutra.com for job openings and just apply. Be sure you have a strong portfolio together and that it is tailored to the company you are applying to. The only way you will improve is through practice. I hope that helps.
