@Glume: haha! that's legit. i wish i could do makeup. oh, tom savini from the zombie movies right? dawn/day of the dead? (trying not to be a cop-out and just look him up lol) that's so cool. i remember there was some kind of head explosion scene in one of them that haunted me for yearrrssss. ah yeah, the art industry is very competitive. film, graphic design, games, etc. :( networking is a big help. i hope you can get your dream job someday!

@Saeyra: i'm with rockstar. our parent company is an exhibitor, so i'll be helping out at their booth. my school was a bit small so i'm afraid saying it here might lead to some identifying information, but it's a fairly well-known one in nyc. ^^ did you go to an art college too?

@Saeyra: ahh i see. that's cool! i think that situation is quite common, heard it a lot in my department (communication design). the nice thing about visual communication though is that its applications are pretty broad, so you could totally combine fine arts and graphic design if you wanted to. guy i knew got into doing book covers that way and is doing well, all about finding your niche i guess! and yeah, i work on rdr2 ^^ there's so many cool things in it that i want to tell people about but can't because nda :(

@neku: cuuute avatar, welcome to Voltra

@neku: All of it really! I wanted to learn to paint and sculpt and paint sculptures haha. I mostly wanted to be an illustrator for books and stuff. With my computer I can do all of these things but I am just missing some teachers XD Teaching myself is okay but I feel like its going really slowly. Is working for a AAA game company stressful?

@Saeyra: ahh i see, that's cool! very diverse skillset :) maybe you can find some online classes on lynda.com? and yeah, it's very stressful at times. often we have whats called "crunch (time)" around major deadlines or releases, which is pretty much mandatory unpaid overtime—it sucks lol. sorry for the delay btw, E3 keeping me busy this week. are there any games you're looking forward to? ^^

@Eruca: haha thanks! are you interested in the games industry? :)

@neku: Hmm Lynda.com only teaches the basics and I know that already, I was aiming more for schoolism when I am more financially stable. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Wow unpaid overtime? That sucks! I'm sorry man, I hope its not TOO often.

The new Skyrim is really exciting but far away, Cyberpunk and Anthem intrigue me but I don't know if they will be good but I am hoping they are. I am VERY excited about the new Assassin's Creed! We finally get to play a girl! Not like I didnt enjoy playing a guy but sometimes I wanna be pretty and have my hair flying in the wind. Its a feature I didn't realize I needed in my life. I played the 1st Ori game and loved it so I am hoping Ori 2 will be just as good. Unravel 2 looks really gorgeous and the gameplay is really cute. I want it!!

@Queen: hey there! i like voltra a lot, the community in some ways reminds me of tinierme! i was neku there as well. how about you? also, i stopped by your profile, taga-saan ka sa pilipinas? :) lumaki ako sa US pero my family is from manila haha.

@Saeyra: ah i see, sorry i couldn't be of more help! i hope you can find the classes you're looking for :) crunch time often happens due to poor planning/inability to meet prior deadlines, so it unfortunately it's quite common. but it's manageable! there was a time i pulled an all-nighter at the office over halloween, so my coworkers and i ended up eating all the office's halloween candy hehe. that reminds me i totally missed the ubisoft conference lmao. that's awesome though! i had the opportunity to attend sony's showcase earlier this week and it was so much fun. cyberpunk and anthem caught my eye as well, i can't wait to see more trailers/gameplay of them! do you play mainly on xbox?

@Eruca: i see, that's cool! what games do you like playing? generally i'm given descriptions/references of places or things (weapons, vehicles, etc.) that are going to be in the game and i make tons of concepts of them until the director approves the design. in early preproduction stages i can do hundreds of sketches for simple stuff like trees, it gets crazy sometimes lol.

@neku: Nah I am PC master race all the way. :vanora_xd: Mostly because I can't keep up with buying a new console everytime one comes out. Super interested in VR though. I think it looks like a promising new technology.

Hullooooo! I'm here and I'm naked without eyes! lol. This will be my first avie site since mene way back when. I did gaia before that. I tried logging onto that but I can't remember my stuff xD.

Hello! Welcome to the site! Hope to see you around Voltra a lot!
