Self taught concept art/design pathway

[eru]

Hey Eru mate. Fellow NZer here...at least adopted NZer. I am also self teaching, and have been so for 2 and a bit years. Rather than rewrite a whole lot of stuff, I wrote a post for ConceptWorld on dA which is a group I now run, and think it might help frame some things. Feel free to message me as well...it's always good to know more kiwis in the biz. Whereabouts are you based?

hi monkeybread sorry im late posting this, but I just got back on. I am from Auckland, living in south Auckland of course. I have a background in 3D but its not quite for me anymore, so Concept art I want to try, it was always designing the characters is for me. My name Eruera Hohaia-Turuwhenua btw :)
