Finally Finished



Howdy folks, been a while since I've spent longer than 3 minutes on DA before quitting due to the sheer amount of crap on the Popular and DD section! Oh, and I AM still alive despite the rumours I've been a bit burndoned by the mountain of uni crap that I've been luggin around on my back but it's all done now, thank god!

So, yeah, uni is more or less over and Rochelle and I have pretty much finished the second year of uni with the exception of the innevitable tying up of the loose ends and generally pointless odd meeting here and there. We will be recieving the grade from our collaborative project sometime soon and I'm dreading it, the reception we got from handing it in didn't seem very promising which put us in an extremely bad mood especially after staying up until 6am to finish it all off, having 2 hours sleep, and then driving 25 miles to hand it in for the deadline of 10am. But, to be honest, I've given up caring. My advice to anyone looking for a uni course in order to get into concept art industry, search around for a proper concept art course. There weren't any that were any good in the UK at the time I was looking but theye are a few now. So far I've paid £6070 for my "education" and I've not learnt anything besides the fact that it was a complete waste of money. So what's next?

Well, Rochelle and I are going to take a year out and apply for a years paid internship at Blitz Games here in Leamington Spa. Getting this would be fantastic but I'm pretty sure the chance of us both getting an internship there is very slim, and the chances of either of us getting in are quite low too as they are pretty popular employers for students. So my plan of action is simple, either get that internship, or get a part time job and spend the year out practising and developing my skills and build a portfolio to perhaps apply elsewhere. Either option is a good one as far as I'm concerned. And then after the year is up I will go back and finish the final year of uni. Though there are a couple of other possibilities. If i get the internship and they offer me employment afterwards then I may either just accept it and sod uni, or accept it and go back part time at uni (meaning the final year will take 2 years instead). If I don't get the internship, I will do as I said above, but apply for other jobs elsewhere and if I get one then I may just choose to sod uni or go part time also. But I don't know what's gunna happen yet, those are just a few possibilities.

I think that's about it. Oh, and anyone who hasn't recieved comments off me recently, I will be playing catch up over the weekend and perhaps upload some of my things too.

Catcha later folks

[EDIT] Oh yeah I will be retuning to an age old project of mine too. Not sure if anyone read or remembers any bits of Devil Star that I posted on my old account (I can't actually remember what parts I posted either). It was a story I wrote a bajillion years ago and then rewrote on and off but always got swamped by uni work and so never got round to it. So I'm starting it afresh with an overhaul of the story and most of the characters. Why am I telling you this? Mainly because I've decided that I'm going to be doing an illustration side of it, redesigning characters, weapons, ships and all sorts, as well as painting scenes and such from it. Not sure how far I will get this time but hopefully I will get further than re-writing chapter 1 again






Returning soon.
