Hi!! :) - Ren - 03-17-2016
Hey there~ New here, I haven't been around an art community for so long so I hope to make some new friends and grow here :)
Say, any advice on how to make it for an art student like me who lives in a 3rd world country? I've seen and read all these articles and interviews on how to become a concept artist, but most can't really apply to me in my country. I'm just studying and trying to improve my work the best I can, but in terms of trying to get a job, I'm totally clueless.
Does anyone with a similar origin care to share their ideas? Especially on being able to make it to the west.

Hi Ren!
About making it to the west: With 'it' being, getting a decent job in the art field. If you have money to burn, you could study in that country of your choosing but with the intention of landing a job.
But above everything, as you may already know, you have to be insanely good! From what I heard, being a concept artist is a rockstar gig. Most people slave away years of their time just to get there!
Welcome! I hope you'll have a wonderful stay here!

Consider me as a new friend then hehe, seriously though. I bet it does not really matter where you live, as long as you have internet and a tablet ^^. Many artists are selftaught and still made it, so why not you.

Thanks you guys~ <3 well, guess its gonna be a long journey then haha. Anyway, I'm super excited to start learning here. I've finally had some free time this month so I'm stoked to join all these study groups :)
nice to meet you~

Hmm, I personally believe anything is possible after listening to all of Bobby Chiu's old livestream vids on YouTube ~ he honestly punched any negativity or doubts I had about making it as an independent artist in he FACE :D

thanks so much for the warm welcome! Pleasure to meet you~ I'm subscribed to his channel but I haven't watched any of his vids yet (him and a lot of other artists). I'll need to change that lol
Also, woahh I just recently discovered some of the members old 2012 works and wow is it incredibly inspiring to see their journey. Hope to see the same for mine too in a few years haha
