Just wondering how do you guys go about building your portfolio. Not all jobs let you credit yourself with your work until they publish. I have never felt like taking someones drawn assets and animating them without their consent. I cant draw so well myself. Are there any free characters for someone to animate?

You can ask any character designers/ 2d artists if they are ok with you animating their characters. As long as you get the permission and you credit the character's creator, I think it should be ok. Exposure for both party.
@Liutke, the example projects that come with Spine have a license that allows derivative works to be made (such as portfolio animations!) as long as they're not used for commercial purposes (such as reselling the assets) so you should be good!
Moreover, you can find several additional projects to animate that are downloadable here: Spine: Twitch
(If you do animate them, I'd love to see the result!)
A couple of nice examples:
