Hey gorgeous people! :D Glad to be back and slowly making headway into art again.
So, the news is: I got my portfolio together and went to a portfolio session for admission to a program called "Game Art and Design," at Centennial College in Toronto. It's a 16 month endeavour, so I would theoretically be starting this coming September, and finished by December 2018.
The program coordinator was really nice, chill, easygoing dude. I like his style. I already had a look at the curriculum, and I approved-- All of it is exactly what I need to be doing to progress, and the benefit of instruction and/or peer feedback is there.
There was a small pile of us, and he explained the program, and we handed in our portfolios at the end. He let us know he'd be emailing us to let us know whether our portfolios passed or not, let us off the hook sorta thing, and if we didn't hear from him, it'd only be because he hadn't looked at it yet.
I heard from him about an hour and a half later. He let me know that I'd been recommended for admission and that I'd be receiving a formal offer soon. So, my portfolio passed its audition, yay! I guess I shouldn't have had any doubts, but when you spend so much time thinking about what could be missing, whether you did enough.. I dunno. It was a big day, and I made some friends.
Meow I gotta think about what happens next. In particular, living accommodations! So, we'll see what to do about that.
But, yeah-- Step by step, the journey through my dreams continues!
Here's a few things I added to my portfolio, to ensure I had enough pencil sketchies:
