Thanks guys, I really appreciate it!



Nothing fast about it man. I'm 31 and this is my first gig in games. I got laid off from my last job, as an art generalist doing medical animation, about two and a half years ago. I've spent that two and half years in my man cave, from 7AM to 10PM, living lean and mean, essentially doing nothing but retooling my skills and portfolio specifically for the games industry.

It wasn't until I buckled down, logged the hours, and became active on Polycount that I finally became at all marketable. Joining the Polycount community was one of the best decisions I made for my career. I've made awesome friends here, and you guys have done more to help me improve my work than all of my college experience and other forums combined. THQ found me here in fact, so anyone who thinks they can act like an idiot on these forums, and doesn't put their activity here through a professional common sense filter is in for a rude awakening. They are lurking. They are watching you. They are judging you. No pressure

This is awesome to hear. Proof that if someone bust their ass and works hard they can get professional good in a relatively short amount of time.

Very well earned. Congrats!
