well its been a while

Howdy folks, I would first like to thank anybody who has taken the time to browse through or leave a comment in the last few months even though i have not been updating regularly. Your support means a lot. As i reflect I can see I've lost a lot of motivation and drive in myself; not only in just drawing and trying to get better, but almost in every area of my life. I made the decision a few months ago that i would be returning back to school for one more year to set things straight. The reason being was that I wasn't happy with the work i produced in my final year of animation and realized that it was not the career path for me. My heart just was not in animating, and i knew i could not force myself to do something I had no passion or love for. However, I have, and always wanted to be involved in the video game industry in one way or another, and now coming this sept I will get the chance to prove myself in the post grad 3D gaming course at Seneca college. I feel I now have a strong advantage knowing exactly what I want to do and where the bar is I have to reach in order to get what I want. Taking Maya was not a total waste as it gave me a glimpse into the world of 3D. I realize for me that this is it, and this is my last shot if I'm to make a serious run at landing a job at a gaming studio come next spring. I can not waste any more time or money and am aching to start. Over the past few months I've learned how important it is that i set goals for myself and have some sort of plan. Something I was very much lacking during my last year or so in college. Besides gearing up for a career in the gaming biz, I cant wait to hit the school gym and get back into shape. I've noticed I've put on a few pounds =)

I leave you now with a little doodle of Samus inspired from playing Super Metroid over the past couple of days. Such an awesome game even by today standards in my opinion. I can not wait now to get my hands on the prime trilogy.

Eric, i understand how hard it is to force yourself doing something u don't have passion for, and I'm glad to know u have made up your mind to go to gaming. Honestly, it was a bit shocking for me to see how you behaved in the last semester. However, as I always said to you, you're a good drawer, I believe you can do great in gaming if u keep the drive to become better. Don't give up ;) Can't wait to see your works ;)

Eric,

Whats up man, good to see what you've been working on...also, I really like that mecha model you did...You have a great deal of talent and potential, if you want to make the most of it, you have to make sure you are doing something you are passionate about. If you can't see yourself doing something for the rest of your life it can be hard to stay motivated...it's very important to make a decision as to what it is you want to accomplish and put everything you've got into doing it. I look forward to seeing your stuff after this year.

Take care man,

Gavin

BTW- It's good to see that you too appreciate a classic game like Super Metroid
