Oh hai

Hmm... my job has been occupying me, which is a good thing. Been a great month so far working at Next Level Games. Guess i won't be updating this blog.. heck I haven't even played WoW since I got my job :) So... this may just end up collecting dust until I'm job hunting again!

Two Weeks into the Job

Wow, it's been an enjoyable two weeks at Next Level Games. Hopefully I didn't jinx it! The project I'm on is in its early phases and I have the luxury of taking the time to learn the pipeline as well as learn from the talented veterans there.

I don't feel much like doing my own personal art so far... so I guess my portfolio will collect a little dust for the time being, haha. Would like to get something going though, just don't know what and how big of a scope I want to tackle.

Overall, it's been good. I'm pretty happy that most of my skills I learned on my own are also applicable at work. So yah.. thats that

Oh yeah.. I got a job!

Haha.. in all the excitement I almost forgot to mention that I got the job! I'm now a Junior Environment Artist at Next Level Games! I start Monday... not sure what's gonna happen to this blog. I know that ideally I want to keep making my own stuff in my off time, but I also want to have some personal time away from 3D stuff. Guess we'll see :)
