Re: Examples of artists who've started later in life and found success?
Does it specifically have to be artists? I'm always telling people that the art industry shouldn't be looked at as a vacuum. Any career built around hard work has the same outcome of how successful you can be. For example, consider the man who popularized McDonalds (Ray Kroc) was selling milkshake machines at the age of… -
Re: Examples of artists who've started later in life and found success?
I used to fling out 2 examples to my students that don't really seem to exist online anymore. Del Walker (Sr Character Artist at Rocksteady). http://drawingyourdreams.com - When I first saw Del's work, it was "rough". Pretty much the textbook definition of amateur artist. Thing was.. he worked hard. Every month he… -
Examples of artists who've started later in life and found success?
Apologies in advance for probably being overly-whiny... I'm in a rut right now and really just need to vent and/or hopefully get some reassurance. I know this is going to sound silly because I'm still in my mid-twenties, but I feel as if I've already lost what seems like my biggest chance at breaking through and making a… -

Relevant GDC presentation *fixed link starts getting relevant to thread about 10 minutes in. Speaker shows some pro artist noob work, then their current works, and discusses some general principles for guiding improvement. -
Re: Examples of artists who've started later in life and found success?
I know what you mean. I felt the same way in my mid-20's. I didn't feel as comfortable with my stuff until I was around 28-29, joining Hardsuit Labs. It's technically my first in-house Environment Artist job, and it's still weird for me thinking back on it. The rest of the stuff I've done in the past were all 3D art… -
Re: Examples of artists who've started later in life and found success?
Thanks so much for these! I looked up Algenpfleger and while the thread is mostly filled with expired links, it's been an interesting little journey to read through. I did manage to find his ArtStation account with some of his latest art. I think I'm going to follow in his footsteps, get some sort of daily or weekly… -

@Varoun Very few of us here are here to relax. It would be safe to assume as much. -
Re: Examples of artists who've started later in life and found success?
Thanks for this! It's definitely a reassurance. I'm also studying something completely unrelated to what I want to pursue, and I've only just realized in the past year or so that I enjoy it far less than I thought I would. It's not an easy thing to admit, but I'm at least glad to know that others have had similar… -
Re: Examples of artists who've started later in life and found success?
I am in my mid-twenties right now. I started about a year ago with my 3D journey. I worked my ass off and see great progress right now. You can either choose to take your age as an excuse or you choose to put in the hard work. Age is just a number man. Don't worry about it. Worry about what is in your control and what… -

You could also PM your work to artists (like me for characters, if that's your focus, can give you critique, resources) Posting sitewide is good too, replies vary since there's a lot of people posting.
