“I believe that the sound of racking the pump of a shotgun is universally recognized as ‘kiss your ass goodbye’.”
I want to be an artist for a game developer(Environmental, Character, Weapons, Conceptual, anything). I'm only a Sophomore, but I've already gotten a good start. When I went to Penny Arcade Expo 2006, I had a chance to talk with Frankie for a bit. We were talking about breaking into the industry and he said, for me who wants to become an artist, I should get a degree in art. This, I already knew. Which is why I'm prepping myself for going to a design school for college. This summer I'm doing a 6-week Pre-College program at Rhode Island School of Design (Top 10 Design Schools in the country) and probably the summer after that. I plan on applying there(Pre-College program greatly increases chances of getting in) and getting a degree in Illustration. I'm in the process of learning Photoshop, but I need to learn a 3D Design Program. From there, I have a few contacts in the industry out here and a good friend who is Lead Animator at Spark Unlimited. Hopefully, this will be a way into the Industry.
I'm lucky, my Dad is an Anesthesiologist and he pulls in 15,000+ a month. We live in Santa Monica, CA(90402). You could say were well-off.
Growing up with all of this, I really don't need any more. I want to look forward to coming to work every morning.
(Please don't mistake that for bragging. I'm merely trying to make a point as to why I don't need a lot.)
