Hey everyone, new to these boards. I'm hoping to to make it into the animation industry one day. I'm a 21 year old artist currently working in the game industry. I need some tough love here. I need to know if there will be room for the likes of me. Here's a few samples of some of my work. I'de love to heare some of your feedback.

Yes, yes, there's always room for more talent!

Do you concept for games?

I really like your renditions of Wizard of Oz. The coloring and lighting on them are really nice. Keep it up and hope to see more of your work.

Shaun,

With work like yours, you needn't even ask that question! But if there weren't room for you, I'd surely step aside.

Kevan - Thanks! Yeah, I'm without my own computer for a week, but as soon as I get her up and running, I'm going to be piecing together a portfolio to send out. What is 3 exits south of me?

Great looking stuff! Love the way you use light in your work. Is it digital all the way or are there any traditional tools employed there?

I notice you're in Palo Alto- about an hour north of me. Would like to invite you to check out the San Jose chapter of Animation Coop. We'll likely meet again in October. Feel free to email me.

I love that mix between Gorillaz, Samurai Jack , manga and your own special touch with it all.Really nice work:D
And like it was said b4, very cool lighting.
The characters have so much charisma. It;s incredible, their poses are so simple and yet so expressive.
Bravo:D
Take care
