Re: What have you sacrificed for game art?
There have been some very interesting topics around nowadays... one of them regarding the changing of the industry which is an undeniable fact. The golden years are over.. we are in some flux and a dark period unfortuately. Belts are tightening. Endless sequels being produced as safe bets. Outsourcing is in full swing and… -
Re: What have you sacrificed for game art?
Sacrificing some things in life to do something you really love is necessary. I moved to Los Angeles from Massachusetts to go to college at AILA, and as a result my girlfriend of a couple years broke up with me. Thank god, too; it was definitely for the best. I loved her, but she was holding me back more than I care to… -
Re: What have you sacrificed for game art?
Thanks everyone for your contribution, it's really helped me think a bit clearer. I think definitely, your partner needs to support your career choice, and unfortunately, as much as mine wanted to, it just wasn't in her timid nature to move if i needed too. My only regret, is that my portfolio is still a good 4 months off… -
Re: What have you sacrificed for game art?
creationtwentytwo: We definitely see the 'job' as 2 completely different things. For me, game art is not a job, its a way of life. Stuff revolves around it thats how I choose to make it anyway. I'm on the other side of the planet from family & friends, moved to a place where I knew absolutely noone. But if I could take it… -
Re: What have you sacrificed for game art?
This topic is interesting. I'm thinking about the same things a lot as well, the past few weeks. Right now I've got an easy job with minimal hours (i'm off half the time basically and have at least 3 months of paid holidays. Yes 3 months.) In my spare time I can at least double my pay with freelance work. But I'm not… -
Re: What have you sacrificed for game art?
That is excellent. Good job finding someone who cares about the same stuff too! I thought some more about CG being one's 'life'. Today I plan to work on the planes of the face a bit, and last night I was thinking about setting up a good long day of doing nothing but quick face sculpts. Usually my idle thoughts are about… -
Re: What have you sacrificed for game art?
Not much. Got pretty lucky in life. Now I have to figure out what's next. I mean, I definitely skipped some stuff other people my age were doing, but I don't regret or miss those experiences, as I wanted to be working on art. Now that I'm married and have a good social network, cooking for friends, or just spending the… -
Re: What have you sacrificed for game art?
First of all Kudos to all you guys. It's an honor to be surrounded by so many people that have the integrity to make definite decisions and then see through their harsh-harsh consequences. In a world where everyone just drifts along it's worth a lot and I wish I knew more people like you in person. Thank you all once… -
Re: What have you sacrificed for game art?
These steps. I'm at "get a place" right now. I have appointments to check some out all week. :) My list isn't exactly the same though, I have a 2.5; a big 2.5. To get a better job, an actual art job rather than a QA job. I am really hoping to get this one going soon. I can't wait to hit step 3. Having a solid romantic…
