There is probably already a thread on this but I didn’t find one.
What is the proper term for a blender user who makes a profit off of their work?
Graphic Designer?
Illustrator?
Digital Artist?
What should I call myself in the “About Me” section of my portfolio?
Also, I’ve been wanting to call my “studio” Mudbug Studios but, it is taken. Is MudBug Digital a decent title for my business?
I think “Digital Artist” is very catchy… 
Pick one of these:
Pixel Pusher
Matrix Monkey
Spline Snake
Edge Hedgehog
Vertex Vampire
Poly Parrot
Render Bender
Metropolis Moth
Sobol Squirrel
Chamfer Chimp
Bevel Bever
Da fuck??? 
That’s what Reynante Martinez calls himself on his portfolio.
Seems legit.
Digital Artists works. 
It’s a shame MudBug Studios is taken, and on that note, I would stay away from using MudBug at all, no matter what you change the last part to.
I think it also depends on what you are doing. In general, I go with CG Artist. For some product renders, I’ll bill myself as technical illustrator. For doing pre-production renders (I work at a commercial display company, and we do renders before we build things) I’ll refer to myself as a previsualization specialist. It’s the wild west out there in title town, you can call yourself anything you can get away with.
@Vicky, why would you suggest staying away from MudBug? Just curious. Thanks!
@SterlingRoth, okay cool, thanks!
Well, the name MudBug itself is pretty original as far as I know, so I personally would feel uncomfortable(and unoriginal) if I used it. It’s not exactly like “Smith” has been taken, and you are going to have to use Smith Digital, instead of Smith Studios. I suppose legally you would be able to get away with it, but I just wouldn’t do it. That’s just me of course, and I hope you get what I mean. 
Oh okay, I got ya! Mudbug is slang for crawfish. If I could think of another name, I’d use it but I can’t think of anything. For now I’ll stick with MudBug.
I just call myself Bob.
…sorry, couldn’t resist.
Call me Snake. Spline Snake.
Two tropes in one line.
At first I thought this thread was going to be something like “what is the name for a member of the Blender cult?” I’m pleasantly disappointed
As others have mentioned, it really depends what you do. Do you primarily animate? You’re an animator. Do you write tools? Developer. Model? Modeler. A little bit of everything? Dilettante. Er, I mean, “generalist.”
Entrepreneur?
