Heh, I remember one time I scanned a rose, put a photoshop filter on it so it looked like that, then printed out a card and gave it to a girl. She loved it.

I gave the rose itself to another girl:evil:

You got that right! :)

Illustrator is one of the packages I really want to master this year. It'll be great for my 3D modeling; vector graphics on models such as robots, stock cars, etc. will be tons easier to create and modify.

Plus EPS extrusions = ++ :D
Thankfully I no longer have to do this stuff for a living, I left the graphic design world. Now I just do it for fun. :)

Yeah, I've been debating jobs. I'd like to go into graphics, but I really enjoy it as a hobby and don't want to ruin that. I think I'm going to go into the computer field, because it's something I enjoy but something I wouldn't mind working at every day.

After 2.5 years into a Graphic Design major I realized that well, it sucks. I'm sorry but I don't want to be making logos for the rest of my life, but then again I don't know what the hell I'm going to do with my life. :p

I like it.

BTW I've always wondered at your sig file with all the different emoticons, does that represent your many changing emotional states?

I was in graphics for 8 years. It's a rough, demanding job.
First of all, you have to learn to be comfortable with your creativity being stifled. You won't be allowed to do what YOU think is nice, you'll have to do what the art director thinks is nice (until you earn his/her artistic respect, usually not easy to do too quickly). Secondly, you'll have to get used to ridiculous deadlines. You'll have to be able to work in a highly pressurized enviroment. I finally said the heck with it, and now my job has nothing to do with a computer at all and I am much happier. :)

yuck. my dream job would be to work at Pixar, but really, I have no idea what a job there is like. I'd imagine it'd be so specific that I'd be stuck modeling one specific piece of one specific model or something inane like that. I'm not 100% sure what I want to do either, other than I like computers and I like art. If my publishing company takes off, that'll be great because I'll be an entrepreneur and I'll have lots of different things to do, but if not, I dunno.

I came here thinking I'd see such crappy vector art. I'm pleasantly surprised to see you showed me otherwise. =0)

Good luck getting a job with Pixar. You'll probably only have to beat out about 50,000 other people. ;)

Easy ;) I've got skills. Companies like skills. Bow-hunting skills, computer hacking skills, nun-chuck skills...
