Tomorrow, a professional Environmental Artist will be giving a presentation about game art and what the industry expects of you, what your job requirements and demands are, etc.

I will not be there.

This is not a good thing for me, because recently I decided that I just wasn’t very good at the Game Design process (I don’t come up with good ideas–I’m more like an editor, striking down bad ideas and correcting problems) and I really love painting and drawing. So bam, I decided to change my course of study around a little bit. The issue with that is that I have only one year to gather up a portfolio and be really, really good. This is challenging.

Still, the amount of time I spend drawing at some point has to amount to something, so I’m just going to keep pushing the envelope, learning techniques, etc etc etc. So I’ll be posting a lot of what I learn on here, as well as the usual droll about how Jack Thompson is a lunatic and I love the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

Also, I will be opening a new section in my blog soon–”Portfolio”, where I’ll put up recent digital and real media artwork I’ve done, so people can see how much time I waste.

So yeah, I’ll be missing the Environmental Artist because I’ll be elsewhere, doing stupid things like writing a paper for finals and painting a character sheet. That’ll be fun.

I’ll have a 3D model of myself, too, soon… which will be weird, and I might not upload.

Hope you everyone is good because I’m exhausted–work is killer, life is drama and sleep is the only heaven.

Spring break only a week away.
