I was bored in math.

Ok, so I drew batman with my eyes closed.

Not too bad if I say so myself.

Also, while I'm completely rubbish at this whole drawing thing all the cool kids are doing, I am quite good at copying the work of others.

The first painting I've attempted in ~2 years that wasn't a speedpainting (ie done in one sitting, usually 1-2 hours). This took me around 8 hours over 3 sittings, hopefully it was worth it.

Yay the irony

The whole reason I'm on the site is just that, to design stuff for world 4. I guess I never did introduce myself properly though...

Here's some of the design work I've done recently for college. We're building a game environment in small teams.

Just thought I'd share

(Maximum of 3 uploads. These are some of my favourites, but i have more if people want to see them)

I'm hoping that's a typo, and not the real name of someone else in this thread, otherwise this is going to seem very rude and egotistical:
Thank you very much.

I'm currently in my first year studying Digital film, games, and animation at university. Assuming all goes well I'm hoping to specialize in concept art/design. Broad course I know, but hey it'll make for great padding on my otherwise lackluster CV, and knowing basic vfx, modelling, and animation skills has gotta be helpful at some point... right?

Either way I'm looking at entering a very competitive industry, with a mountain of debt to pay off, and almost nothing to fall back on.

Wow that turned into a rant about my questionable choice of career paths awful fast...

As a child of the 90's I have to agree: Pokemon is awesome. MS paint is not however. Try GIMP, it's free and a lot more versatile, it will make your pokemon drawings at least 20% cooler.

Agreed

I find that the best way to deal with anything of that sort is to be self-confident. This does not mean be arrogant like those people you see on The Apprentice - you actually need to be competent, so you can back up such self-confidence, and whilst I am not one for compliments (lots of "c" words today), I have to say that what you do is incredibly impressive.

In short, have a healthy respect for obstacles and shortcomings, but overall, consistently believe that you are damn good.

Thanks. I just worry sometimes, for every compliment I've had regarding my work I've had at least one person point out how difficult it is to make a living out of this stuff. Personally I blame the internet, it's never been faster or easier to find people who are better than you.

Anyway here's a bunch more drawings to compensate for all my fretting about career prospects:

Yes, that was a really bad typo, sorry xD
And good luck with the studies

Inspiration struck while I was watching Blackadder goes forth, so I did this.

Post by **Sti_Jo_Lew** » 20 May 2011, 21:58

Epilulz. I need to put some more stuff up here soon. Maybe tomorrow I'll steal my sis's camera and take a photo of a dragon eye I painted a month ago.
