Hey

I'm unsure where to go on from now.
i have been studying 3D and animation( 2 yrs in college), in prev years i been studying art (4yrs).

I want to get into the game "industry",
i want to make 3D models for games* but i have no freaking idea where to start?

What to study now?
 i will have to practies my skills now, and get to a prof level.

It will takes years ! 

So...What to do  now?

So far i know the basics in 3D:
 animation,rigging,maps,modeling, also VFX and storytelling.. 

My skills isnt good enough to get into serious work yet, and i need to study/work!!!!! im lost!

What do you find you are drawn to the most? Environments? Characters? Props? VFX?

It's good you've already explored many areas. At some point you will probably want to specialize in an area so that you can focus your free time on improving in that one area. Instead of spreading yourself too thin across as many areas as possible. If you're not sure yet, that's okay too. Just try and learn all you can until you find an area that you think you might want to specialize in.

But whatever you do, keep on creating art!
