Two year plan
June 2017 The extended level 3 course is going to end and I wish to finish with a merit or higher and no lower. I also plan to finish with a C in GCSE English and pass my level 2 maths.
July-September 2017 Practise my traditional skills such as drawing and with the 3D modelling programmes improve my skills before September 2017 when my university starts.
September 2017 My university begins which is a 3 year course in which I continue working on my games art skills.
job roles in the games industry
art director
An art director is the games industry has many responsibilities such as supporting an entire art team and dealing with communication with other big areas of the of a games company when developing ideas. The experience needed to become an art director in the industry is a quality portfolio of work, experience in modelling, 5 years in the games industry as well as experience in developing commercially successful films or games.
Games character artist
A character artist is someone who specialises in developing characters using multiple different elements of industry programming from using 3D to traditional 2D art and is always ready to tackle the difficult and fiddly side of character development. This is the job role that I really would like to get in the industry. To get this job in the industry I will need a decent portfolio of work and to research the job thoroughly since it is not sometimes the job you expect and the interview is usually challenging.
These are my choices on ucas for the courses I have applied for at university.
