Going to Gnomon while 100% remote?
I've just discovered the school and it seems worthwhile for most people who apply themselves. But right now, it's fully remote, and they haven't decreased the tuition (still ~80k to go there on average I think). Is it worth it to try to get admitted right now? Is anyone there currently?

I worked with a gnomon grad a while back. He was a very talented individual but didn't have any more working production knowledge than grads from other half decent courses.

@Ashervisalis thank you for the kind words! Just a little background on me - I went to a UC school and the art program was underfunded and too theoretical/contemporary. So I taught myself the basics of graphic design. After that I discovered Maya. I took some classes at Animschool, and I feel that they really improved my… -

I concur. And for what its worth commenting as a hard surface/weapons artist, your stylized chars look good so no need to then hand over 80k for Gnomon too otherwise re-affirm that.
