And the results are...

[Snail Shell]

In all the chaos that has happened to me in the past week, I forgot to tell everyone the results of my portfolio review! Oops. lol

Anways, this time last week, I had a portfolio review to get into college for video game design. This was the thing with the three eggs. Anyways, I applied to start the program this coming October. They were so impressed with my eggs and my other artwork (including one tk pic 😉 ) that they don't want me to start in October. They want me to start April 9th . O.O

So needless to say I've been running around trying to get my act together for the last week before classes start, which is why I never posted this message. 🙂

THANK YOU to everyone on here who gave me their support in this endeavour and who have supported my artwork, tk or otherwise, for the last 7 years. You are the reason I do what I do. Extra special thanks to Venray who's helping me with the whole scholarship nonsense.

Just a high-speed, 18 month burn from Nowhere'sville to a real career and a real shot at drawing for a living. You'd better take care of me Lord. If you don't, you'll have me on your hands. 😀

No one deserves it more... the rags-to-riches thing doesn't happen to just anyone, you know. 😀

Hopefully classes won't run you ragged, eh?

Good for you, just don't make any crappy games like with lame robots or shovelware graphics.

 

[Budweiserbob!]

Well done mate. We knew you could do it. 🙂

*mock sigh* Snailly, how many times did I TELL you you'd make it??!! And you NEVER believe me, nooo, you had to spend the last 2 days before you actually got in FREAKING PLUM OUT--and who was there to listen to you, tell you to calm down, and help you figure out which TT pic to put in? 😛

Joking, pal, joking. Nobody deserves it more! *huggles him* Congrats again, even tho I was probably the first person you told and to say it😛

I had no doubt in my mind that youd get in! MAZAL TOV!!! *throws confetti, brings out cake and champagne for all*

"For he's a jolly good...videogame artist..."

You are amazing--and it's about damn time you received the recognition you deserve. Congratulations, my incredibly talented invertebrate. You deserve all the success and accolades that will surely be coming your way.

Let us all know when you've had your hand in your first game--I'll go out and buy the system for it AND the game just so I can tell people I know the guy that designed it! 😀 😀 😀

AWESOME!!! *explodes with happiness for Snail Shell*

Many thanks to everyone. I also recently found out that a friend has a cousin who works for EA Games, so I may have an in to the industry after graduation.

And yeah, I'm so bad for listening to anyone, ever. I'm a total bad egg like that. lol

Also, shouts to Camel for her comments earlier on the Standard Egg thinger that I made. Apparently, that's what put me over the top with the admission department. 😀

Thanks again!

I almost passed out laughing at that one, it was so brilliant! Not that I had any doubt, but as soon as I saw that, I knew that you were in...BRILLIANT!!!

I'm so proud of you...I'm kvelling!!! (Kvell: verb, Yiddish: To burst with pride.)

😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀

You are egg-cellent!!! 😛

 

[Wii]

Way to go, dude! I'm still in college working my way into that field myself.
But it's great to hear that you made it. Good luck in your new career!
