Unfocused is a startup game studio, where I was a concept artist as a volunteer for 6 months as the team made a playable demo which would be showcased to big name investors. I contributed significantly, and those concepts were used in the demo.

However, I was laughed at and kicked while I was already down in the end, failing an art test I put 20 hours into as I am currently recovering from serious burnout. I wanted to learn and try to put in the work on my weaknesses, but they simply looked down on me and counted me out.

That team was not my tribe. At all. If they ever decide to come back around, I'll show them the door and remind them of how they treated me when I was down. And by then, I'll be well on my way to an actual real-deal AAA game studio being interviewed and hired for a real studio job. Period.

I’m so sorry you had to go through that experience. I hope you don’t let what happened there affect your art journey in a negative way.

I looked back on all your posts since you started here on the forums and you have made significant progress with your art. Keep going and you will soon rise above all those people that have treated you poorly.

  • I am rotating out the anatomy sections on a weekly basis ( i.e. head, torso, upper body, & lower body ). This week is aimed at the torso, and I began with the female body!
  • Also, I am trying to use all new anatomical knowledge for every gesture as well.
    - ( I usually have one hour for anatomy and 30 minutes for gestures, but I doubled that today to make up for not showing up yesterday )

  • This week is for the arms and hands in anatomy ( I'll post today's practice later today )
  • For gestures, I noticed I was having some trouble with the proportions ( I tend to draw the head smaller than it actually is compared to the body, and today I realized I was drawing the legs just a little longer than their actual size )
  • I'll be working on my proportions a lot this week!
