I'm going to try to sleep now -- tomorrow i'll start my new job - i got lucky and i start my first GAME INDUSTRY JOB tomorrow! I'll be a jr graphic artist....

And most of that is thanks to all you guys and this PHANTASTIC FORUM!

Thanx evrybody here for getting me going and helping out when i started drawing again, thanks for all the inspiration and the foundation of technique and knowledge you all perform and thanx for letting me see how far i still have to go! But most of all thanx for showing that it is a real world out there that can be reached through a lot of hard work, the right examples and a dose of luck!

Actually it's a scary thing to do since doing this means there is a possibility of failure -- i might not live up to my own expectations and opinion that i can cut it... But i'll just have to face myself and become everything i can be. Better to take the chance and see for myself than to keep dreaming of working as an artist.

I'm curious, excited and a little scared. The right mix i hope to set off for great deeds! I have so much practicing to do...

Congrats!!!

I remember when I started out in V Games, I was scared and worried all the time that first year, I made everyone crazy I imagine.

Now that I have been in the studio environment for awhile I have seen a lot of new guys starting out feeling the same way...Like they could fail. Just remember when you feel paranoid and things feel like they arent working out just sit back and realize you are doing fine and just focus on the tasks laid out in front of you get the job done. Why else did they hire you if they thought you were not good enough. You are in...It's all good.

Again congrats!
