07 Feb 07:48

Wardy

yeh i know but i do want to be better!! i kinda want to stop doing my concept job for the games company im with because its really stifling my creativity. its pushing me out of my comfort zone though which is good, but everything ends up looking drab and unfinished because the brief keeps changing and the scenes are always so generic

07 Feb 07:48

Gliger

--

Yeah, I get the same feeling too

07 Feb 07:48

Gliger

--

I constantly think about asking people if I'm good enough to work, when I really just want to improve
