@daceronine Thank you so much! I LOVE the FF7 Remake and the dynamics between all the characters
Here's the Weekly Gesture Drawing Update 
This has been a hectic week, and I had less time to dedicate to these.
Unfortunately I thought that my MA Studies would be all sunshine and rainbows, but that has not been the case 
I had a would-be mentor ( who'd be one among my guides for the program ) try to dissuade me from my project proposal because it was "too recent" and there "isn't enough relevant research on the topic." When I told them I could be among the first to research my topic, they disagreed and continued to discourage me further. Upon telling them I want to be a Concept Artist upon graduating from this program ( i.e. they asked me what I had in mind for the coming future ), they switched up on me entirely to laugh at and mock me right in my face, trying to tell me it is "impossible," and to be discouraged from taking a narrow path. When I told them this is do or die for me ( i.e. which at this point it is, since I cannot see myself doing or committing to anything else period ), they laughed it off.
They told me this program wouldn't help me get a Concept Artist job, and that I didn't need a degree. When I mentioned that I felt in turn that perhaps this program isn't for me and that maybe I'd simply let it go in order to make my dream a reality, they told me that I "wouldn't get anywhere with that kind of attitude." I ended up packing my stuff and leaving the room not even saying a word.
If I had a job offer right now, I'd happily tell you here that "the rest is history," as they say. But I have since gotten little results and tons and tons of rejections from my job searching for a long time now. I have decided to resign my studies, head back to the US ( i.e. next week ), start over yet again, and begin anew once more with a solid and grounded foundation in mind to work with and build upon.
No matter what anyone says or thinks, I WILL be a Concept Artist, I WILL make my dream a reality, and then I WILL help many others make their own dream a reality in this Industry. And that is a better life lived than trying to force myself to go the traditional route and work with people who carry a bad spirit of disrespect, pride, entitlement, and immaturity. The only person in this world who can stop me now is myself, and I am not in my own way anymore. I am excited for what my future will bring me.
I'll begin my Advanced Concept Art Course via CG Spectrum soon next month. Please do not allow the opinions of others to dissuade you from whatever you feel called to do. If you want to do something in this life, go ahead and go for it. Do not ever allow yourself or anyone else to hold you back from your true potential 
Whenever I receive a job offer or an internship offer, I will write about it right here in this forum, so that perhaps someone following my journey here can see this and have hope that it IS possible to work in this Industry. Until then, I'll keep on working, drawing, creating, learning, and adjusting as needed.
That is all for now, see you very soon
