Thanks for the response, Rafa. Wow, just looking at your portfolio, you're really good! I have friends/know a lot of people in Los Angeles (I went to undergrad there) who work in the video game industry as artists, or as designers, and your artwork is just as good if not better than many of theirs (honestly, I'm not just saying it to blow smoke up your ass). Because of this I think a little bit of it has to do with luck. I think you will find your job soon...
for me I don't even NEEd a video game job.. it would be great but I don't NEED it ..just somethign that has to do with art. For example I'd love to work on some sort of science-y educational thing for kids (my degree is in conservation biology and I have a lot of experience with nonprofits and teaching).
thanks for the support all. I think I just had a panic attack because now, finally, something I've dreamed about for years is finally starting. I finally have the chance to start. Just enrolled in a CGTalk 8 week course..everything. And I live in Madrid now and although its amazing to live in europe, the expat life gets really, really lonely. so I really appreciate the support and understanding. Since you have gone through it too!
