Re: What have you sacrificed for game art?
Sacrifice is not always the answer for a future in the game industry. I personally made a choice to stop with my hobbies and not have a girlfriend while I am doing my studies that took over most of my time. But I said to myself that when I finish my studies, I can restart with those thing I had to give up in the beginning.… -
Re: What have you sacrificed for game art?
Im with you on that. Me and my lady had our time apart when she went to University and I drove 4 hours every weekend to see her. Then I got a job 2 hours away and she eventually moved in with me.

Re: What have you sacrificed for game art?
We've all sacrificed a lot of things. It didn't occur to me til last week that Christmas was coming up until I walked into a Starbucks and saw the decorations.

kwakkie: I get huge satisfaction from working on big studio titles. I'm not sure if you're saying we should be an independent dev? I've thought about it, I have the money to do it but I'd be pretty depressed knowing I wouldn't have the budget to make the kind of games I want. I've done a little work on a casual title and… -
Re: What have you sacrificed for game art?
Some of you people are insane... and thats not meant as a joke either. Also, I find it a bit disconcerning that most of the people in this topic consider the traditional life of 'getting a job and a partner' to be an ultimate goal in life. You are not your job (seriously, some of you seem to be willing to suck off and army… -

Stallone on how he had to suffer 7 long years before a studio signed Rocky: [ame] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5Lqo9MlFWo[/ame] I'm not saying we all paint our windows black and cut ourselves off from the world. But there ARE sacrifices that have to be made if you want to become good at high skill professions like ours.… -
Re: What have you sacrificed for game art?
consider this a clean slate. move where the jobs are. not being local to a large pool of opportunities will hold you back tremendously. while studios will sometimes shell out the cash for relocation, your portfolio/art test/experience has to give them enough reason to. some companies will seriously only look for local… -
Re: What have you sacrificed for game art?
I'd think it would probably help if we had some flexibility. I mean, if you have modeling skills, who would hesitate to apply for a job prepping AutoCAD/Revit models for Pre-VIS rendering at an architectural firm? If you have modeling skills, who would hesitate to apply to a job modeling for a small film studio if given…
