I started in QA in 2005 and I fortunately managed to transition to full time 3D artist soon after, it definitely helped that I had Uni friends from my course working there as artists already so management knew I had an art background, so I'm lucky that I didn't really have to show my aspirations. I did work very hard as QA…
Here's some more tips for you, cheap but good resources. - Hai Phan's cgcircuit character art courses.

A lot of the newer Atkins oriented research seems to indicate…
While I don't doubt that is the case for some players, that's never been the case for me. WoW, Fallout3, Fable1-2, just about every game I've ever played is about exploration not ego. All kinds of people play games for different reasons. To generalize like that and say that everyone's self esteem gauge is on empty and the…
