Decided to post my progress on Handpainters Guild Monument challenge on here. I’ve honestly been so excited about my concept and how it’s come along and all the feedback I’ve received from everyone. Cannot wait to dive into more of the 3D soon.
I think I’m…back on my bs?!

In my honest opinion, due to my upbringing: it’s okay to not rush into the industry right away post grad. It’s okay to find work to pay the bills to where you feel stable enough to work on your portfolio again in hopes of breaking into the industry. Especially in current times.

So many times I've just wanted to give up and walk away from pursuing my dreams of entering the industry but lately I feel optimistic. Perhaps it's no where near soon but I'm going to be patient and give myself grace as I teach myself a lot for environment art this year.

Does anyone genuinely get anything useful out of LinkedIn? I feel like it's a weird Facebook and that any connection that reaches out feels like spam or someone trying to sell me services or something tech-bro related.

I always find it funny when I was still starting out with 3D how people said you can't be both a 2D and 3D artist? Like, no you absolutely can. In fact...it turns out it was super useful to do both and I feel like both skillsets helps with translating shapes/design.
10

If you don't rest, it's gonna lead to burnout. If you get burnout, and you're not actively trying to rest, you could end up disliking what it is you're pursuing (painting, modeling, etc.)
I say this from exp. I don't paint anymore for fun and no longer care to do character work.
I'm curious, what's your constructive artists/creatives version of this? 👀 Hard truths for improvement or about our field of work.

At 26 I finally landed my first big kid career. I’m now 28 suddenly switching gears with a deep interest in prop and environment. I finally have a grip on my art which is cool and I’ve got goals of entering the industry one day. 🤷🏻♀️
I might be 40 by then but who cares.
A friend told me "you shouldn't quit your job. It was a big mistake that you chose to learn and become 3d gameplay animator. You're 29 and It's too late for you!"
It's not the first time someone tells me "iT's tOo LaTe".
I feel exhausted.

I cannot stress enough how important it is to get work/life balance down before you graduate from college. College had this mindset. This mentality is what’s led me to multiple burnouts and leads me to so much sense of failure when I am not working enough. (1/2)

Took a swing at sculpting
@Sarenhale
teapot from their fictional cooking game project they call 'Homecooked' prop concept sheet - linked below! Was so inspired by all the pieces.
It's been a super long time since I've sculpted and felt rusty but this was so fun.

Hello hi. Here I am with an opinion 😌
It should never be that your self worth is tied to your socials.
I don’t think folks realize that’s not the issue here with this platform dying.
The issue here is loss of community, less discovering of opportunity, and promoting oneself

This is bad. I can’t stomach this…so many people displaced without a job. So many livelihoods ruined because of some greedy decisions made by higher ups. Makes me sick.

Your progress will not be linear. Some days you’ll feel ahead with your skillset and other days it will feel like three steps back. Don’t be hard on yourself. With persistence and patience, you’ll get there.

It's upsetting to remember hearing how many individuals drinks were spiked at GDC...another reason I wouldn't feel comfortable attending that event if I'm being transparent. For those going, please be careful. For drinks not in bottles - make sure to buy covers for cups.

It’s been disheartening how quickly uninterested I’ve become with my art or doing art.
How do you work on personal things when you have no motivation? My jobs not entirely inspiring but that’s why I wanted to do more personal work. An not to mention the worlds on fire.

3D Coat is the best for hand painting and Substance Painter is better for PBR. Everyone always told me going into SP that it was just like Photoshop when the UI is way more reminiscent in 3DC. IMO. 👀

It’s nice to feel a sense of belonging and that folks need your skillsets. I hadn’t felt like an artist for a while and I was willing to give it up but thankful for this contract work. It’s nice to regain some sense of myself.

This is the future of art. Anyone can take a screenshot of your WIP and run it through an AI generator, post it before you & then claim you traced their work.

This. You are not your job either. Find a company that values your time and effort, more than building culture.
I hope this doesn't get misconstrued and love seeing those that consider themselves Rioters but you're a person. Being a Rioter is not your identity.
Seeing the Riot thing, I once again advise and insist on it, DON'T dedicate your entire artistic life to a company to see if you are lucky enough to work with them.
For them we are nothing more than another number in their papers, without personality or life behind us

You know...if your studio's so bad at managing to the point you're laying off hundreds of individuals every so often, will folks continue to eagerly apply to new job openings at your company?
After a while, no one is that desperate or willing to continue to tolerate. IMO. 🤷♀️

In 2023 I’m gonna get this environment piece done and be able to start calling myself an environment artist after a few years of wondering if that path was for me. I feel super sure of myself lately after being confused since post grad 2018.

The idea of relocating for jobs that can be done purely online just doesn’t sit right with me anymore. Work culture can easily be curated in group chats if you know how to engage. Sure, you can’t have lunch with your coworker but you can still communicate and accomplish tasks. 👀

- got to see my best friend since middle school find her wedding dress
- went through a major bout of depression
- decided enough was enough & got on meds
- realized I want to be an environment artist ❤️
