Need to get this off my chest
Can I vent for a moment? Be 100% real? I felt like giving up. I've been applying for jobs in the gaming industry for roughly two years now, and radio silence. Sometimes I would get a response, and other times not. I built a portfolio (now being reworked), a CV, and revamped my LinkedIn, and still nothing. I feel like I'm doing something wrong, but in reality, I'm probably not. I felt like going back to school was the only solution, but school costs a lot of money, and time I can't afford. Since I have no educational background for the industry (other then being self-taught), I know getting in is harder. It took about two years to get into the healthcare field, but healthcare isn't what I want. I want to share my stories with the world. I want to watch them come to life. I want to see people enjoying them. I start a new job at another hospital this week. It's not a job I want. I know what I want. It just feels so far away. Now, note: I said felt earlier. I am not the type to give in so lightly. I'll keep going, keep applying, and keep working until I get to where I want to be. I'm just tired, and needed to get these feels out.

Design Exercises
I forgot to share these! Any car people in the house? Many moons ago, I was given some great advice on concept art and design, and that was “to keep your brain moving, and your skills sharp, practice designing things you hate drawing.” For me that was cars. I couldn’t stand to draw them, and I’ll admit, I was horrible at it. However, this practice has helped me shape my art style, and creative process over the years. I have also gotten better at drawing cars 😅 Anyway. I present to you a reimagined Mach 5 and two PT Cruisers.
