Im not gonna try to promote myself. This is just my story as it happend:
When I was 24 I realized after working in bars I wasnt living the life I wanted.
Conceptart always intrigued me. I started researching and found that the best guys I could find at the time (Feng Zhu, Iain McCaig etc.) all had industrial design background. So I applied to the best ID school I could find. It took me 3 years to get in. From then Ive been doing almost everything design related except conceptart, somewhere along the way I lost track of that dream. Which was the reason I picked up the pen in the first place.
So I rededicated myself a few months ago and I was fortunate enough to get a conceptart-job pretty quickly, they offered me a trial to test me. After the trial was over they told me very frankly that I was not good/fast enough. That was hard to hear to say the least, but it was the truth.
This was only just a few days ago, so I was pleasantly suprised when you offered this mentoring. Timing is perfect for me, Im without a doubt mentally prepared.
To your questions:
1. Expectation: To benefit from a practice schedule and to get proper tasks and feedback - in short, accelerate my learning curve.
2. Futureplans: I want to create movies. On my freetime I write scripts and stories. I like to be able to create the whole thing from scratch; words and visuals.
3. As for why I would be a good 5 th. I havent got an answer. I think thats something you have to get a feeling for.
Im sure I would manage myself, but that goes for all of us. We all have to do the actual brushstrokes ourself. Being mentored is just bonus. A bonus I definatly wouldnt mind...
So pick me pick me pick me lol :D
Cheers
