Hi John,
I'd really like to be included in your mentoring program. I fell I'm sort of missing out on something with my studies and with someone like you doing the mentoring hopefully i'll get over the standstill i'm in. I fell kind of bad for coming here after applying to another mentor, but hey, you can't blame a guy for trying, right ? I feel that this mentoring project is a once in a lifetime thing and it would be a shame to miss out on it.
I've tried improving my techniques with tons of studies but i'm still missing that spark that I had few years back in highschool where I had a arts teacher that guided me. Because he was a painter and not a conceptartist, per say, I picked up a lot of things that I wasn't even aware of in the first place. I'm not saying that the last years have been a total stop, but i'm not quite feeling the "level up" i've been hoping for all this time. That's why I think that having you as a mentor, and having a structured learning system would widen my perspective on the whole art thing and I'll finally be able to hop over my standstill.
As for the future, untill now I've been determined as hell to finish college and land a gaming industry job as soon as I can, but a thought keeps creeping at the back of my skull that i'm just gonna work for a architecture firm and eventually after a few years I'll be a architect myself... and i'll live a boring life hating my job. Not that it's so bad to be a architect but i'd dissapoint a 5 - 7 year old version me, that thought that I'll allways be drawing awesome monsters and dragons. Basically that's what's cool about working in the gaming industry you get to be a kid at heart for ever, while still getting a paycheck. ( yes its from the other thread, I seriously hate writing ; hopefully If you pick me i'll show you that I won't take for granted all the things you will teach us )
