Review of my game art year.

Oh boy. I always struggle where to start with reviews like this, and general talks about myself and stuff revolving around me. What can I say, it's been a lovely year. Really really lovely.

For a start I met so many interesting people with a passion for the same subject. Finally someone I can share my interest with. From the educational side I feel like I have learned, I have learned a lot of useful things, and I feel like I am slowly changing and stepping on the right path of where I want to be, where at the start I wasn't as sure. I still wonder if the Game industry is the right future for me, because it's not covered in roses and dashing unicorns as I thought it would be. However I am certain my passion can take me there.

I think that I set myself up a direction, I am almost 99.9% sure I want to be a character artist, I want to develop those skills and work hard on my artistic skills over summer, I need to become better. I need to focus. I want to be good at what I love. This year allowed me to discover all of that, improve my techniques, colour theory, everything that will be useful in the future really. I still suck big time at writing though. 

Taking aside all the improvements in my skill, this has been a though year for me. As they say shit happens. But hey, I get better at not slacking! I was struggling at the start of the course, and so it kind of dragged me down till the very end of it, it was constant battle of catching up, everything sucked, yet I found things like a reef project a nice sanctuary, but things were bad. I really hope I can pass this, forget the bad things and roll like a majestic polar bear in the snow, happily onto second year. I believe I can do better, I need that last chance to prove myself. 

Looking at the game industry state it has a lot of to offer, games are the future. zing zing zing. Well, except little Xbox One (Jesus why one, imagine the children at home going to their parents "Mom, I want Xbox one", "but honey you already have the Xbox 360" Microsoft derps.) being a massive fail. TV, TV, TV, COD,COD,dogs, next gen fish, dress up your dog and smell other dogs' butts. But yes, there are more and more studios, indie games being more and more popular and coming up with more and more amazing games. 

So, again, future. I will be a character artist, if not that I will make games myself, I want to be somewhere at the top, even if it takes climbing a ladder form someone who fixes seams and vertices in models. One day I want to be happy with what I am doing and I want to enjoy my job, rather than just working to pay bills off. 

In conclusion, the year has been wonderful, I learned a lot of new stuff, improved on the old, there has been ups and downs (mostly downs, oh how grim) but I will work towards being better, and make next year even more successful.
