I started thinking recently, seriously about what it is i want to acheive with my work, where i want to go, who i want to be and whose attention do i seek
Ive joined up to a couple of courses which have kicked me into the right direction
Firstly http://artbusinessbootcamp.com. Ill post more about this course in a later blog. But its about the business side of art (as the name suggests.
Secondly Sterling Hundley's Ideation Lab https://gumroad.com/d/bf0d6419988c583362b0cafdf22293f9
After starting both of these i decided to write my artist mission. Here is my First draft:
Intrigued by the realm of dark fantasy, I aim to make concept art and illustration my main focal point. I want to create my own worlds with their own lore to be discovered.
I'm personally interested in creatures and the environments they live in. How they evolve to survive in such places is a passion of mine.
To develop my ideas further, I'd like to push my work into 3d and animation, practicing them in my own time, giving them life, before unleashing my ideas into the world
Thats it so far. I will keep revising it
Some artists i take inspiration from:
