Can someone working full time, 9 hours a day, really make it?
Hi. This question keeps coming and going every time I stop and think about my future. I deeply want to work in the industry, I always loved art and games. However, I took way too long to figure out this is what I wanted to do, and now I have to work and do my best with my 2 hours available each day. But really, when I read… -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRfoFGGyRvU What I always think about when I feel like there is no way I can make it. I play that video pretty regularly (once a month or so) in the background and just listen to it. Someone who is going to make it in this industry and really just kill it, needs to feel that way. Its cut… -

Do you work overtime? then no. Book time off work and savor the weekends. if not, then even 9hrs a day, with 2 hrs commute, you can probably squeeze in an hour every other day. But do look into taking time off when you can, and get into a habit. The hardest part is motivation - if you have a habit to at least work for an… -

Like my last post I'll keep it short and sweet (would like to give a more detailed reply but there are a lot of these types of threads.) Post your work so people can see what level you're at in the Pimping and Previews section, follow people's crits and improve as much as you can, if you're serious about this then drop… -

Man that's crazy... Makes me feel like I'm not dedicated enough. I work on learning stuff for about 4-7 hours a day I think, everyday. As much as I possibly can until my body aches from sitting at a desk all day. But I still sleep like a bear until 1PM on days off. One of my challenges is to stay motivated and stay fresh,… -

What sort of game art do you want to do? Characters / environments? I agree about quality over quantity. One thing I regret about the way I tried to get into the games industry (never say never) is that I thought that being more ambitious would equal better work. It's great being ambitious with large scale personal… -

I'll go all fortune cookie on you and hope it helps.

When I try to analyse myself to see what I'm doing wrong, at a glance the first thing I noticed is that I spend sooo much effort collecting resources, images, references, books, but I can probably… -

It's hard but it's not impossible - just work at it. If you can only do 1 hour of work a day then do it, if you can only do 30 minutes of work that's fine too. Those hours will add up over time.
