Been a while since I posted huh. It's been a week since my exams finished. And guess what? I got a part-time job, at le epic sauce studio - Ogniroth. Woootage! To be honest I'm still finding it tough to believe, seems like a dream I guess. I dunno it's kinda weird but whenever something really cool happens I keep having this weird feeling...like my mind keeps wondering if it's real or not. And then later on I feel hmm did this even happen or these memories keep coming back to me and I dunno...It is pretty weird, anyway though it is real and I'm not gonna waste time dwelling on if it's a dream or not, cause it ain't. It's real alright and I'll do my very best. YOSHH! Thanks to my epic bro, he's kind enough to let this noobie kid work here. For a kid who's never had an older sibling, having the support and nudge of an older brother is amazing. Seriously I dunno what to say..but I'm truly very thankful. Thank you, you epic bro you.
Well, I guess you could say it's a new phase in life huh? Work..colleagues, etc. Sorta feels like school, and yet quite different at the same time. Being the super shy kid that I am, I don't get around to talking much to my co workers but everyone's so friendly and they're really kind. They make me feel right at home. And they're all so talented folks, it's great being a part of the team. Very inspiring and motivating. There's SO MUCH TO LEARN! Shiyat I better get crackin and practice stuff XD And I'll try to cut outta my shyness too. It's just really annoying sometimes, being THIS shy. I mean it's okay bein a bit shy, but come on this is just way too annoying. Feels like a crutch. I mean I want to talk to people, know more about them, etc etc but I just can't....I speak to people when they speak to me but I have difficulty going to them and making a comment. I don't know why...it's so strange. It's like I keep thinking what will they say and urgh it sucks. I don't feel like that at all online or with my friends. Anyway so another reason I decided to take up a part-time job was to get me out there and interacting with people. So I'm really going to try and stop being THIS shy. It's not like I like being shy or anything. It can get pretty annoying at times. I think I got even shy-er in the last few years I haven't been to school much. Yeah well whatever, we can do this, YOSH!
And work's been pretty interesting. Been doing some tree and vegetation explorations recently and lemme tell ya it's pretty challenging for me trying to come up with different stuff. But it's good practice for me and my lazy brain. And I'm learning lots doing this too. And I'm allowed a lotta freedom with this too. So it's great! Hopefully I get more free with my drawing and get better at drawing different stuff. I've been having lunch with my work buddies, very interesting experience I should say. At school most folks are around your age, and it's the age that kinda connects folks there. At work however you have people from all kindsa ages and it's your work subject matter that really connects all these people together. In my case it's CG and art, awesome XD And I'm getting to see new people everyday which is good I guess. It's interesting observing different people. Sometimes when I'm drawing some folks watch from behind but they don't usually make any comments, which is very good in a way because then I don't feel uneasy about how the drawing is turning out. I guess artists know this feeling, so they try to keep their silence eh...Mind you what I'm doing right now is more concept based than illustration base. Works for me, since illustrating for a job is not something I actually enjoy..yeah. But concept and story stuff I don't mind. However I really would like to work on more technical stuff in the future for work I guess XD
Well aside from that I've been pretty tired these days after I come home so haven't drawn much. I do have some random stuff I did, but I haven't gotten around to posting em up yet. After a year of just sitting around and just eating and sleeping and not doing much, it is taking a while for my body to get used to the new routine. But it's slowly getting more used to it.
So another new path in life. And a new place to learn and experience. I'll keep moving onwards and do my best and humbly learn from this as much as I can.
Well I better run eh
It's 2:30am, shit. Gotta sleep
See ya
Take care
