--That's exactly what Jake Parker mentioned as well. Start a "personal project" in the field you want to go, and finish it.

--At least today I got some pens and pencils, I almost didn't have material ._.

--Good point. I think I'll copy on paper your message and put on the wall next to the screen, so I can remember my goal.

--I just want to encourage people to really apply their studies, Often people say they want to be (concept artist, comic book, animator, illustrator) but actually most people aren't showing it. First find you end goal and then tailor your studies to match it. Even though color is part of "fundamentals" I'm not going to go very in depth into it because its not a big part of what I want to do, though it would be nice to know

--I'm so glad you are bringing your animation bling here! So much cooler than (no offense to anyone) seeing a hundred skulls and buttloads of naked people :)

--Hi Crimson Daggers, I have created an animation thread in the art discussion area. http://crimsondaggers.com/forum/thread-6747.html. Feel free to talk about anything related to animation there, (share links, talk about your favorite shows, theorize, ask questions)

--When I talk about indies I always have in mind this "Rime" game. It looks so.. beautiful, and.. special.

--Yeah but I'm sure NZ government doesn't reunite with an ex-minister of Economics, ex,vicepresident of Spain, ex-director of the IMF and now guilty of stealing public money because "there has been tweets against him". :))))

--Yeah I like working on the indie games so far, because they really do give me a lot of creative freedom.
14 Aug 20:19
--But I'm sure you'll progress and we'll see you on maybe.. Mass Effect. I hope I can work someday on indie games because they usually have this different and special art style...

--Governments will spew all sorts of rhetoric to make themselves sound better.....it's the nature of democrazy

--I am doing work for video games...granted mostly indie, but upper level indie I guess
14 Aug 20:17
--Altho I don't know still how freelancing works on the videogame field, to be honest.
14 Aug 20:17
--Yes it is. And from my pov, the government keeps saying that job is growing. Yeah, job is incresing cos it's summer, Spain is the typical european tourist place and you have a contract of working 4 hours when you work maybe 8, but you are still just paid for the first 4 hours lol

--I don't know how things are in Portugal but here... if you want to make art, do it yourself or fly.

--Spain sounds harsh man...the unemployment rate etc is crazy there for young people especially

--Having lived in both NZ and Aus, I can safely say that it is way harder to make ends meet in NZ, and the cost of living here is way more, because the salaries are generally pretty pathetic. Also food, expenses etc are really crazy in NZ. The population has been dumbed down to accepting it without any question I think

--yeah, I have a small tablet, but it's useless for anything - won't recognise the extra memory card, and has bugger all storage, so can't work on it - also 7inch, we have free wifi at the libraries around here, which has led to all the computers being booked up with people playing online games on facebook -_-

--Internet is our access to so many things now, it's almost a compulsory service - but they don't consider it that way.

--You can tell who the poorer students are because they hang out at mcdonalds because of their free wifi. Even so that requires a portable computer or tablet capable of whatever you want to do, so there's still the lower, common class of student that even while getting government support has to live off family and do work off-the-books. Aus seems to be cheap for everyone except other aussies.
