I just read this whole thread, enjoying the excitement vicariously through you. I remember the first time I was flown out for an interview, I was so nervous. I blew it... lol.
About a minute or two ago, I just sent off my official acceptance letter to BLIZZARD ENTERTAINMENT...While I did not land the original position of a 3D Character Artist on their team, I was chosen and accepted a position as an Associate 3D Artist for the World of Warcraft team
I am excited, and lots of things...holy crap, come June I will be working for Blizzard, hahaha...I'm so, freaking excited...I'm paranoid of sounding too excited on here I think, lol. It couldn't have come at a better time, because as of April 8'th, my former studio changed directions as focus, and no longer needed a 3D artist : \. The past few weeks have been rough, I'm out of money, I landed a temp job at a local studio for a month (with pay yet to be determined, so who knows), and I have no idea how I'm going to last that long and even get out to Cali, but I WILL make it
I'm going to go right now to have the biggest celebratory smoke(cig) ever...I'm still waiting to be told it's an elaborate prank haha
Oh, and also, just for you guys, for all your support, this really is the first thing I've done since I e-mailed my paperwork; I haven't even posted on FB yet...that's how much I care
HELL YEAH! Congrats man! The entire community can let out a collective sigh of relief now, lol. When I sent in my acceptance to my current job, I still thought it was a prank too. Good things ahead!
so who knows), and I have no idea how I'm going to last that long and even get out to Cali, but I WILL make it
CONGRATS MAN!!!
Where do you live now? I was in a similar situation living in SC when i got offered a position in LA... my wife and I sold pretty much everything we couldn't fit in my car and drove across the country! Craigslist, ramen noodles, road trip... you got this!
Craigslist, ramen noodles, road trip... you got this!
Truth! It IS possible. Enjoy the trip over, all the while imagining how the same trip took folks 6 months by horse and buggy, haha! That's all I could think about while my flight was landing in LAX for the first time
Thanks so much everyone!!!!!
I didnt think to ask about showing the art test; i asked a few weeks ago and he said to wait; ill see about emailing him to see if its ok
