You have won some art competitions? That is very good! I think most of your unposted art is already good enough. Your shadings are magnificent; some times I think your art was done by computer! It's so clean and so accurate at the same time! You should color some of your pictures with MS Paint to make them 'frame-able'.
And have you tried sending in your art work into Nintendo Power? If not, you would have THE best drawings of any that I've seen in the magazines! Actually, I don't know if NP even has the fan art section anymore... Well, at least not a large section.
Mabey you should consider art as a choice of careers, if you haven't already. There's so many possibilities you can do with your skills! Everyone here is supporting you, so you should get the hint... ^_^
Thanks! ^_^ MS paint? AAAH! I use Paint Shop Pro. Several of the pencil drawings I've done I've started colorizing in PSP, like the
Zelda one, for example (
original). (It's really unfinished, though)
I haven't bothered with Nintendo Power, because you have to send in the original. At least if it's by snail mail. I haven't tried with emailing a scan, but then again, I'm lazy. Thanks, though. ^_^
My whole life, I always wanted to do something with art as a career. In elementary school, I wanted to be an artist; in early high school, graphic design; in late high school and earlier this year in college, video game design. After taking a psychology class, I realized how much I really love that stuff (I'd liked it, too, from other exposure to psych in past years), and this semester is even more of an eye-opener after taking an art class. I'm finding my heart isn't into art as much anymore. I enjoy it as a hobby, but as a career, I think I'd get frustrated and bored and impatient with it.
After seeing how passionate I am about psychology, and seeing all the troubles there are in the world (well, becoming more aware of it from my Sociology class), and growing closer to God, more and more I want to do something to help people. After realizing my spiritual gifts, as well as my personal interests, and also experiences I've had relating to other people, I'm seriously considering counseling (as I mentioned in another thread). I don't know what I'll end up doing, though. :)
