So long since I last posted. :(
I'm ashamed at how I can even keep promises I make to myself.
Welp! My interview process went well.
I freaked out and quit towards the end, because I was anxious about my drawings sucking, and the usual pattern of freaking out. I didn't get all my drawings done, but they were happy with what parts of the task I had completed.
Over the past month I've found a bit of clarity in what path I want to pursue in the gaming industry:
Character Design
I've always loved character design. Studying them, and picking apart the designs with my eyes.
I would love to be able to pursue this professionally. I feel kinda shit saying that, because I have such a long way to go. I'm not even being modest in saying that. I love everything about video game character design.
I've been looking into courses and I can't seem to find one that suits what I'm looking for. I want to get on the illustration side of it, but all the courses I can find are aimed towards 3D characters. I'll have to think about what path I want to take, or look at online courses... I know I'll get lazy if I'm not in a class room learning enviroment though. Hmm.
Character design articles I ate up recently:
AC3 Connor
ME2 Thane Krios
Over the past month I've become really obsessed with Mass Effect. It's just... so good. I didn't think I liked galactic sci-fi much, as I'm not a hugh Star Wars or Trek fan, but this series... is fantastic. My adoration for this series might be coming from my love for Bioware games in general, but...
idk.
I really need ME3. ;;;
Also, from today I think I'll try watermarking or signing pics from now on.
The Jaqen H'ghar semi-realism portrait I did a few months ago was posted to his fanpage on facebook.
When I saw it I was of course really flattered, but kind of concerned how they found it.
The poster at least credited me as "chimyra", which is actually a bit alarming because I didn't post that picture to the chimyra dA account.
It wasn't art theft and I was happy that they did mention me as the artist in the post, but still, it was a bit of a freaky moment. Seeing someone post my thing made me feel like it wasn't mine anymore.
