Watchers

The question comes up on a fairly regular basis from friends and family...how does one get into the games industry as an artist?

I usually get the question from one of the parents of a student who is still in school, but wants to at least look into what's involved. I've been meaning for some time to write an in-depth article about it and I finally got off my butt and did.

So if you know anybody that has any questions on the topic, have them take a look.

Check it out here.

I love your art, your so talented. I want to do what you do, but I think I lack the patience and artistic skill. I mostly just edit images, and even now I'm not that great at it, but no matter what I'm always practicing :)

Thanks for being such a great inspiration Eric, I'm looking forward to more of your art!

Thanks, glad you liked my stuff. You said that you're always practicing, and that's great. It's the way to keep improving that is more important than anything else as far as getting better at what you like to do!

Your gallery is very intriguing, and I love how you put a story on almost every picture. The story is almost as good as the picture, but one wouldn't be right without the other. Keep up the good work!

Yeah, I'm weird! I mean, come on, you people say it like it's a bad thing!

Jesus DIED for you. He didn't have to, but he did. Honestly, how can you beat that?

Thanks! I have fun thinking up a story line or explanation while I'm working on the image.

Hey Xanaprime, I took a look at the project...looks like there's a lot of work going into it.

I won't be able to help out I'm afraid, as I barely have time to work on my own stuff. Been way too busy. :cry:

Are you working on it?
