@xelfereht.
Thank you for visiting my sketchbook and sharing your input and knowledge! It's always much appreciated. I read through your post fully, and decided to take my time and write out a proper answer.
My goal at the moment is to get a job within the game industry, not just because I like games, but also because it seems like a solid, futureproof careerpath from what I can tell.
I have already completed three years of schooling and work within this industry (That is why you see a gap in this sketchbook from 2017-2019/2020. I was busy going to school at that time). I have already been employed at one point at a studio that made mobile games where I had numerous different roles such as 2D artist, 3D artist, VFX artist, Animator and more ... The reason why I am making my own game mockup right now is to simply build upon that knowledge and expand it as much as possible.
I realize that my sketchbook at the moment is rather diffuse and "all over the place", but there is a reason to the madness so to say. First of:
I couldnt focus on any specific area for a long time, because I had to quickly learn new software for the job I had at the time. Thats why there are so much half-finished stuff here. Now that im at home all day just working and studying, im hoping to finish for a whole bunch of this stuff and post it to my portfolio.
Second: Im positive that the game project im making will come together nicely in the end. And as I finish various aspects of it (the concept art, the logo, the 3D models etc)I will be able to post it on my various social media sites. This may take some time to finish, but it will be a ongoing process that will hopefully teach me a lot as well.
As for the lifestyle ... What im really seeking is just stability. I want a nice job at a good company where I can grow and improve. Hopefully with a decent salary as well. The freelance lifestyle is fine, but I think my future lays in a good company.
Here are some warm up sketches from this morning. Its from CubeBrush art camp Term 2. I was only planning on watching a bit, but it was so interesting that I watched the whole thing haha:
And updated logo design:
Now im gonna go back to work! Cya all soon!
