Dammit It had to be a written thing; It's always been a weak point for me, but here goes nothing.
I'm really interested in being the 5th student because I've been in serious rut with my drawing skills since I left for college 3 years ago . Being in a architecture school has sort of deviated me a lot from drawing the things I really like (I think you know the feeling).
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.
Again I know that there are a lot of people here that deserve this more than I do, but hey why not give it a shot, right ?
Sorry if it was too much of a sob story, Have a awesome night all of you guys and good luck. And Cris, dude, you're the true super hero here for helping out these people. We need more people like you and all the other mentors here on Crimson Daggers.
oh and one last thing, I think i'd make a wicked Dr. Doom. Bhahahawww
