haha hey dracken I appreciate the post
It's got me thinking about how I gave up art for like 2 years during middle school because I didn't enjoy the process. I'll be honest, I was never insecure about my skill as a kid. I was cocky, I thought I was the shit so I didn't feel incompetent. I really just hated the process. I could only think about the finished product. Then the reason I got back into art was because I kept thinking about what someone said to me about wasted talent. So I kept on drawing because I didn't want to be a waste. Time went on, then I found out about concept art, and that kind of helped drawing stick. Then I went to art school for one year, dropped out because it wasn't helping me and I didn't have the money for the next three years.
The reason I was interested in concept art at the beginning was because I wanted to contribute to my love for video games. My senior year of high school I started to get bored of videogames. The only stuff that interested me in gaming was any open-world game where I didn't have to pay attention to characters, story, or anything. I just wanted a place to let my mind relax and be free. So now I don't play games anymore, or enjoy sci-fi or fantasy movies. I still love Lotr and District 9 though...also Game of thrones. But I think those are just good movies in general.
