I desperatly need to update this journal! Augh!

Ok so life update: I now have a second job, I responded to a craigslist advert for an illustrator position working for a local game startup, and I got the job! They liked my portfolio, and the job is going to be way fun. Long as I meet my deadlines. Im illustrating a d&d type roleplaying game, that is being produced using a licensed version of the Savage Realms ruleset by la local startup company. Its going to be published this summer or fall by Pinnacle Entertainment Group, who publish the rpg sourcebooks for Solomon Kane and Deadlands among others. So this is cool news! I'm starting on the bottom floor of a career Ive always dreamed of.

Just pray I make my deadlines. My first assignment feels like redesigning something as iconic as the millenium falcon, and its daunting to say the least. Some of my recent submissions are going to reflect the style Im workin on for this project, grayscale shaded conceptual renderings. Its so cool to be doing this for an actual project, I geek out on this kind of art all the time, I always have. Now Im contributing to the field!

I guess Im mainly sad that this scifi universe theyve created has no anthros in it. I asked. I dont think they like anthros. They dont have aliens either, its a unique twist in that its more cyberpunk and mainly human, with genetic modifications. So its playing with alot of eras conceptually, but set in an exploration based future reminiscent to me of the game Freelancer more than anything. Im trying to love it. I think they are still very much working n fleshing it out. I'll keep you posted as much as I can.
