So now that school's over, I have to get into some college. About six months ago, I'd decided I'd mix my love for art and gaming, and pursue my dream of getting into the game industry as a concept artist. 

Im pretty good, (At least I think so) but I've hardly had any time in which to practice drawing. I have always worked with pencil paper, and am just getting started on photoshop. I plan to get a drawing tablet and test out my skills and practice, and see whether I am good enough. 

So my plan is to go for a fine arts degree, and to practice my own concept art for these 4 years and improve my skills. I'm sure 4 years of good daily practice would bring out the best in my drawing abilities. After college, I can take a PG in some advanced game art course or something, and with my practice and talent, Im sure I'll be able to cut it.
 
What do you think? Is 4-5 years of practice not good enough? Do I need better raw talent? Am I making a mistake? (Hope not)
 
Either ways, how the hell do you draw like THIS??

" Awww. I loved my high school Bio-Chem class. Chemistry is fun!  : (  "

" You have a lot of great games to catch up on. Are games even more fun than usual? haha "

" There really is nothing like sitting down with a good game after having gone months without anything. Enjoy yourself sir, it sounds like you've earned it. "

Well.. I always thought that vacations were made for gaming. All my best gaming experiences are in the holidays.

Alright so I've finally asdasd So after 20+ days of heavy studying, and about 6 months of torturous abstention from gaming, IM FINALLY F*KIN FREE.  
So after 20+ days of heavy studying, and about 6 months of torturous abstention from gaming, IM FINALLY F*KIN FREE!!
Starting march 3 I had my final year final exams of High School (we call them Board exams). They were obviously one of my life's biggest exams, and so I had to prepare for them for like months, and I didn't play ANY of the games that had come out post-October. The exams, by the way, really sucked the life out of me. I'm so glad I'm done with school and science!  I can finally move on to Fine Arts and work towards being a concept artist. No more chemistry! WOOHOO! 

My exams, by the way, were better than expected, (thank you for asking) considering the fact that I had NO IDEA the whole year what was going on. Luckily my final preparations were good and I understood stuff by the end. I can tell you the teachers are going to be completely shocked with my marks when I get them :D But maths, the last one, pretty much kicked my ass. Anyways, It's done with and over, and I can finally get back to gaming!
 
Batman Arkham Asylum being the last new game that I'd played, back in October, (besides a few days of a little Oblivion and Dead Space) it is obvious that I have a lot of  games remaining to be played.  I'll be starting with non - stop MW2 till I finish the campaign, (Yes, I didn't play the game yet), and then follow it up with DA:O, AC2 and ME2. 

And YES. I am mightily excited for Just cause 2 and Splinter Cell conviction, so that's got to be played as well. I might also see whether Borderlands interests me, and besides all that I've got to check out the DA:O expansions as well. Other than that there are some old games that I have yet to complete, which I have to look into as well. ( Full List). I've also got to draw a lot, and wach a lot of movies. Plus I've got to look into good colleges to get into. So it's a lot of gaming and fun in store for me for the next few weeks!
 
Or... maybe not. Since last Monday, my PC's been gone for repairs. The SMPS had apparently blown up, and that screwed up the motherboard as well, which had to be changed. I was supposed to get it back yesterday, but did not. God knows how long it will be before I start gaming again GODDAMIT!! Im DYING to play DA:O!!

Anyways, other than gaming, I've not been on GB from like last Monday, so if anyone could fill me up with what interesting things happened since then, that would be fun.
 

Thank you for reading! Hopefully I'll get my PC back today and I can finally start with DA:O.
Have fun
 
 
EDIT: News Alert!!   I just came to know that my PC is not coming TODAY, it's coming TOMORROW, that too hopefully. 
FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU*******************KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
EDIT: Alright it's not coming today either (wednesday). He says it's gonna come on thursday.  I'm so sick of this.

" @armaan8014:  the obvious solutions are sometimes the best ones  "

Hey... You said anything below the mentioned cards is not worthwhile!
My 8600 gt can run all new games at medium-high settings, I guess a 9800gt is a good enough card then!

" If you have $50 save it for Just Cause 2 "

I'm 1 on the outside (funny, good in sports etc.)   I guess around 8 on the inside..
