There are few things I love
more than video games, in fact only two things. I have collectively spent weeks
in a great number of virtual worlds; I have lived and died and done great
things; I have conquered the Greek mythological gods, snowboarded down Mount
Everest, climbed through the dense cityscapes of renaissance Italy, saved the
universe from a massive horde of life devouring mechanical beings, and much
more. As I grow older, my appreciation for video games grows as well. I
have visited many different workplaces, and my favorites were the ones involved
in the technology industry. Although I am taking and enjoying a computer
programming class and have a basic knowledge of it, I do not wish to
pursue computer programming as a career. I have a knack for arts of
all sorts so I figured working as a concept artist for a gaming company would
be a perfect fit for me. I recently made a blog devoted to my art to serve
as a digital portfolio ; only my most recent and professional pieces are
on it:
I have seen your art and it is very good, and with your imagination you could conquer any aspects of video games. So I hope you follow your passion of art and pursue a career that you will enjoy.
ReplyDeleteHey so Mr. Pinza this doesn't count as an academic comment, but Aleks you *really* need to play Just Cause 2. It's GTA with hilarious accents, less realism and more grappling hooks. Also all the loading screens are concept art, so that counts for something I guess.
ReplyDeleteI just scrolled through your tumblr, some of your pictures are amazing! It would definitely be really cool if you could pair your love for video games and art together as a concept artist, its a perfect combination.
ReplyDeleteIt is surprising that computer programming is really interesting to me, for I personally think working with code is not something that I love to do. However, I do love many video games, and I play a lot of games, just to evaluate graphics, engagement, and simply for enjoyment. I suggest you take some photo and other art classes next year to get a jumpstart. Good luck!
