First off to the Moderators, I usually just comment on forums, at first this topic was in the Bungie forum, it was locked because that wasn't the appropriate place for it. Then I put it in the flood off topic forum, but after reading the many pinned topics I'm assuming this is the best place for it, since my site is fan art and a portfolio. All I want is the opinion of halo fans on the work I've done. Thanks again...
Hi, My name is Juan Gonzales, I recently graduated with a degree in game art and design. I took the Holiday weeks to formulate my plan to sneak my toe into the gaming industry, part of it was making my website. I did a fan art level inspired by Halo, and decided to take my site in that direction.
http://www.3DAnomalies.com
My plan that eventually leads to World Domination goes as follows...
1. Apply to companies in Washington, including Bungie
2. Hope for the best, plan for the worse (plan B)
3. Plan B, Apply for game tester positions like crazy in Washington
4. Test games for a few months, while 3d modeling and adding to portfolio
5. Apply Apply Apply, Move on up
6. Gain knowledge from others as I move up in the industry
7. Become part of a company that will some day dominate the world
8. Plan for a Zombie invasion, survive zombie invasion, rebuild...
Seriously, though, I just wanted to throw this out to the halo community.
Please forgive me Moderators for having this in the wrong section at first, thank you for informing me of where this post belongs.
Thank you for your time and comments.
EDITS...
What Programs do I use?
I use 3ds Max, Photoshop, 3D Unfold, and Crazy Bump for a lot of the work I have up on the site. The in game levels are using the Unreal Engine.
What school did I go to?
Art Institute of Phoenix, but for the most part all schools show you just the basics, a large part of learning will be on yourself.
