Hi guys&girls,
i knew about CDs for couple months now but didnt have a change yet to post/ask here anything.
My situation is a little complicated as anyone elses :). im 34yr old now, have not a bad career in engineering. i have been doing art most of my life. in the last year or so i decided that the right path for me would be actually arts and decided to do something about it. i take classes and paint alot, progress is slow because i work full time and actually had a baby recently. can be frustrating at times but i do think i make progress.
i attached some of the work i've been doing for the past 2 months, couple studies and 2 original concept designs 1 creature 1 hard surface ship thingy.
i dont consider those to be portfolio pieces, but sort of a range of my current skills so far.
i dont want to be jobless so my plan is to improve my skills up to the point i can be employable in the games/film/arts field.
my biggest problem now is of course painting time, i simply dont have enough of it.
its pretty scray to go and finally quit my day job and try and make it, but i've been saving up and my plan now is probably quit my job in about 0.5-1yrs from now on and spend atleast 6 months on pure painting/portfolio so i can really have a go at it.
so my help needed here is basically tell me what you think of my current level, any tips or suggestions or experiences would be nice.
its really hard for me to objectively evaluate my work so currently i mostly rely on likes/comments on sites like artstation / cgsociety/ level up/ and things like that.i figure i only live once so i decided im gona put all my eggs in 1 basket atleast once.
thanks a lot
Sergei
