The 5 bullshit myths of concept art. by Suzanne-Helmigh, journal

The 5 bullshit myths of concept art.

May 7, 2014

Concept art is getting bigger and bigger. More people know what it is nowadays, it gets shown in the media more often and more books get released. This automatically results into more people wanting to become concept artists. So many artschools are now creating special courses all towards game art or concept art. (Game art can also include UI design, 3D modeling etc.). Yet it is a fairly new thing to most people and the idea of "becoming a concept artist" has grown rapidly over such a short time that a lot of people who are new to it seem to get a lot of misguide info. I am going to try to list this misguided info and direct you to the corre

To become a pro, you must first hate painting. by JordyLakiere, journal

To become a pro, you must first hate painting.

Jan 7, 2015

To become a pro, you must first hate painting. Here's why. Alright, all the cool kids write articles, so I figured I might as well go for it. I have a lot of thoughts on stuff, so it works out well. "Do something you love, and you'll never work a day in your life." Today someone posted a comment reply on a facebook post of mine saying the above, as a motivational one-liner. I've heard it tons, and its a nice sentiment -- but this time it resonated, I realized I disagree strongly with what it is saying - and that it is the wrong kind of statement to give an aspiring artist. (I know it was meant well, so much love to the commenter of course!

You Belong To Me

0 min read

One of my favorite songs :) I like the version Jason Wade recorded for the Shrek soundtrack most. It's a very lovely song to fall asleep to. I would like to think that somewhere in the world someone is listening to this song and thinking of me...which isn't going to happen on many levels..but oh well. Preview of my current stuff will be up soon!...(-_-)~ Apologies..I'm still tweaking.. You Belong To Me See the pyramids around the Nile Watch the sun rise From the tropic isle Just remember darling All the while You belong to me See the market place In old Algiers Send me photographs and souvenirs Just remember When a dream appears

Wake Up

I should be talking about art, a huge part of me wishes that I was talking about art. But it's not what I'm occupied with now and I might as well be honest. Can I get a little personal and rant-y for a bit? Bear with me.. We all know that it sucks to be with a person who treats being with you like a chore or an obligation. I'm not a bloody shackle around his leg, for fuck's sake if he wants to go then go already. It's unfair but I want him to take that decision out of my hands and make it a definite. Not likely. It's shitty enough for me that I actually care whether he is with me or not. I don't want to need anybody like that. I despise the
