EPTIn school I focused mostly on art and so when it came time to go to college and applied to a few different illustration and animation programs. I failed horribly and went into a 1 year art fundamentals course basically spending the next year painting and drawing before taking a crack at applying again. I managed to squeak into Sheridan Illustration. Its been... 5 years since then? I'm not going to go into detail but various maladies along the way hijacked my original plans and I'm still in school now, looking to finally graduate this year at the young young age of 25.
So why the blog?
Well I guess for as long as I remember I've always been decently talented and smart and I've never really had to work hard for anything. Grades came fairly easy, I passed stuff without really giving it my all. As a result I've never really been especially driven or motivated for anything in life. I take my responsibilities to my family, friends and girlfriend very seriously, but beyond that I've just never really cared all that much. In the real world, and especially in my field, that doesn't really get you anywhere at all.
And so the blog. I plan to use this, and you guys to keep me focused, and get me going. I figure if I have a responsibility to others and a goal in mind then I can keep myself motivated to do better and get better. As it is right now my work is pitiful enough that it's going to be tough sledding netting a job on graduation. What better way to improve then to share my stuff with the community I love?
I'm going to Blizzcon come October so the plan for now is to have a bunch of stuff done that I can get autographs on. I'll be adding to the list in weeks to come, but for now I'm going to keep it simple. Fanart for each person on the list so they can sign it and at least one piece per week until Blizzcon, starting this weekend. I'm also not 100% sure who's going, but better to have a higher goal than a lower one. I will be streaming everthing, and posting a new blog with the pic every time I finish one.
Week 1 - Sen
Week 2 - MVP
Week 3 - Nestea
Week 4 - Day9
Week 5 - Naniwa/Select
Week 6 - Sheth/Ret
That's it so far. Hopefully I can stay motivated and follow through. Wish me luck!
