I fully deserve...
the ungodly amount of crap I am going to get for not posting a damn thing for well over a year. It is the same old excuse though: work and school. Hell, I actually got the job that is eating up all of my time AFTER I stopped posting, so I guess it is more school's fault, sorta. Oh well. Since it is two in the morning and I am brain dead from trying to simultaneously work on two 12+ page papers and a presentation, I am just going to ramble on for a bit. Probably going to make a proper post here in the next couple of days. Probably a firm maybe on that.
In case anyone hasn't gotten the word, I am gainfully employed as an intern now. I started work on 01 October 2007 at Surreal Software as a character artist intern. It is one of the coolest fucking things I have ever done in my entire life. Ever. I make video games for a living. That's right, I am the dev that is keeping you down. Not really, but it sounds cool. (I would like to point out that I suspect that writing a physics paper on roller coasters probably erodes one's sense of humor greatly) I am hoping to stay on there after I graduate from school in March, but who knows. I am just happy to have this much industry experience and a shipped title under my belt. If anyone wants to check out my work, head to http://www.anomaly-3d.com
That is my portfolio site. I am rather proud of the stuff there, but the site needs a lot of work. Lots.
Oh the school front i currently hate three of the five classes I have. One of those I loathe less than the others only because I have the greatest team ever to grace the halls of my school. The class centers around producing a presentation about an umbrella topic that is given to the class. This quarter the topic is Africa. Last quarter it was medicine. For my part, I think we got good and square-pegged, topic-wise. But I have a fucking powerhouse team working with me on this, so it makes it a lot better.
My stress level is pegged out, as per usual, but it is a little stranger than normal. Aside from normal school and work stress, I am dealing with a couple of x-factor situations. One of them is pretty easy, the other, not so much. The easy-ish one is the stress over having a job when I graduate, but that is still a little far off and I am pretty confident in my abilities as a character artist. The other stressor in my life is a lot more complicated and much more internal, and i dont think I am ready to really talk about it yet. I know I am a tease for mentioning it and not really elaborating, but I think its a good first step for me.
Well, that is enough procrastinating for now. I need to get back to work on these bullshit assignments. Wish me luck!!!!
