Well I know I haven't posted here in a long time, but I do look in from time to time.  I've moved many times in the past 4 months and I'm moving again in a couple weeks so I'll be able to walk to work during my internship.

    After working on my portfolio all the time and submitting more than a few applications, I've landed an internship at a game company that makes Nintendo DS games and mobile phone games. Not only do I get to do 2d work, but 3D work as well. Hopefully, if I do well enough, they'll keep me on full time after 3 months.  I've met the people I'll be working with and they seem very friendly. I'm really looking forward to learning better ways to do things for my 3D work.

   Anyway, I'm very excited and just felt like sharing this.
   
   

Ooh, grats! Don't forget to post alot of sneak-previews for us once you get the ball running.. erm.. or something.

I would if I could, but I'm not allowed to give out information about games before they're released to the public. My friends that work at game companies had to have me sign a affidavit before they could tell me or show me anything about their games. As a matter of fact - I got to play Conan for the XBOX 360 before it came out, but I couldn't say anything about that either ​.

Well, I always remembered that you were easily one of the best pixel artists in the community, so this isn't really much of a surprise to me.  Congratulations, in any case!

    A good amount of my stuff is on my portfolio site(which should be in my signature). I haven't done a lot of pixel art since I've posted here, so you'd probably see the most improvement on my CG and 3D skills. Of course, one of the big reasons I got the internship was for my pixel art skills, which are definitely more impressive.

Here's some links to some I've done recently:


Be warned, I don't know how fast they'll load.

Awesome, congrats! I like your pixel work, especially the tilesets. Especially stuff like this:

    Yes, they are paying me $9/h (which is good since I told them I'd take anything that would cover gas - minium wage here is about $5.50/h).  The apartment is only a little more expensive than the other places around here (it was the cheapest one in town).  It's about $650 a month + electricity.  My wage more than covers it and my boyfriend works too. They said I'd get an evaluation after my 3 months. If I'm kept on, I'm sure I'll get a pretty good raise.

   Oh, yeah, if you guys wanted some kind of write up about the experience after I'm done, I think I could do that.

That's very cool. Congratulations on the internship.
