CYA man

10 Jul 21:04

Amit Dutta

ah no biggie.

10 Jul 21:03

Mechanizoid

Thanks for the advice, Amit!

10 Jul 21:03

Amit Dutta

see how it goes

10 Jul 21:03

Mechanizoid

But maybe I will need to spend more time to get it right, yes? Then I will give myself more time.

10 Jul 21:03

Amit Dutta

sure thing

10 Jul 21:03

Amit Dutta

and be optimisitic over being pessimistic

10 Jul 21:03

Mechanizoid

I suspect I can learn at a much faster rate than I have been if I apply myself, though. Five days per lesson seems pretty generous.

10 Jul 21:03

Amit Dutta

yep just don't get negative about it all. be flexible

10 Jul 21:02

Mechanizoid

Yes, that's good advice. I'll aim for my goal to be sure I'm not slacking out of sheer inertia and lazy feelings, but I won't beat myself up if it turns out that my deadline is too soon.

10 Jul 21:01

Amit Dutta

great. glad to hear it. alright, I'm out. Good luck on your deathline. My two cents: Intensity isn't as important as learning at the speed that best suits you. Figure that out on the way

10 Jul 21:00

Mechanizoid

Personally I think life is too short to NOT take risks.

10 Jul 20:59

Mechanizoid

The landscape we see out there is made one individual action at a time.

10 Jul 20:59

Mechanizoid

Well, you know what Ghandi said, if you want to change the world start with yourself. Take risks man!

10 Jul 20:58

Amit Dutta

but that's just an opinion

10 Jul 20:58

Mechanizoid

But you shouldn't do something just 'cause you think "this is what concept artists should be drawing"

10 Jul 20:58

Amit Dutta

I personally wish I saw more artists that took risks..

10 Jul 20:58

Mechanizoid

Oh, I have no problem with someone drawing that 'cause it is what they want to do

10 Jul 20:57

Amit Dutta

hey man, no judgement either way...do whatever you want

10 Jul 20:57

Mechanizoid

Like, I think this is why people end up doing that stuff sometimes.

10 Jul 20:57

Mechanizoid

No no, I didn't mean I wanted to do it, it was a rehtorical I

10 Jul 20:57

Amit Dutta

ok go for it

10 Jul 20:57

Mechanizoid

It's sort of like peer pressure, ya know?

10 Jul 20:56

Mechanizoid

Draw robots with toaster heads and machine guns

10 Jul 20:55

Amit Dutta

Do what?

10 Jul 20:55

Mechanizoid

I got to do that too!

10 Jul 20:55

Mechanizoid

Hey, this guy makes his living drawing toaster head robots for like games and shit

10 Jul 20:55

Mechanizoid

I think some of it is the general idea of "being good", getting up there, and then, eventually the need to make money.
