So the people at Paramount sent spies to infiltrate Straczynski's hidden fortress, allowing them to steal the idea for a sci-fi series about people on a space station during a war? Or did JMS secretly show his series concept to Rick Berman in exchange for a bag of magic beans, and then just forget to sue the Star Trek…
I agree I think you're at a good jumping off point but you need to keep creating and keep being critical of your stuff. Look it over, find out what isn't working and fix it in future projects. It seems like you have all of the nuts and bolts how to learning done and out of the way, what you need now is practice and you…

I've currently enrolled in Vanarts in their Game Art course two weeks ago for the Sep 2018 term. It was such an extraordinary opportunity for me, so that I…
I was recently given an opportunity to complete the Naughty Dog texture art test, and even though I have no idea if I was successful or not, it has easily been one of the best experiences of my life.
