Concept Artist Job!My placement as a Concept Artist at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe was great, I met, worked with and learned from some really talented and passionate people while working on very cool stuff (to be specific). They have since offered me a job as a Concept Artist which I will be starting next week, I am humbled and thrilled; time to get my head down, work hard and learn from the great peoples around me to earn the place!
I have worked some crazy hours, balance a lot of things at once (freelance work, uni, family, indie projects, solo projects, extra courses etc) and try and take every opportunity that comes my way. Deciding first what you want, then doing hard work with the right direction, making and taking opportunities, being consistent and learning all you can from the people around you is the 'strategy' I've been trying to live by for the past year and it seems to have been a good combination so far :) Learning never stops, and the pro's I've seen at the studio are all still workConcept Artist Job! by ~cilein

That Dreaded Generic Email

:icontokoldi:

A little over a month ago I applied for an illustration job.  I found out today that I didn't get it.

Back to the drawing board then.

If you're planning on going, don't forget tickets go on sale soon! :D I missed going one year because I didn't realize how early the tickets get posted:

Yep! It's a little inconvenient since sales open when my evening class begins >.> Guess I will be late that day... hehe. Thanks for the reminder!

You're welcome!

Some tips:
-These things sell out in less than a second. I have gotten them in the past by hitting F5 (refresh browser) over and over and pouncing on that buy button the moment it appears.
-Enlist friends to do the same--increases your odds of getting in the queue, and then the first person in line can buy the tickets for everyone (up to four).
-Hit add to cart before selecting the ticket number (if buying more than one)--you can increase the number once you have one in your cart, and this save you precious time. (At least, this is how it has worked in the past.)
-Make sure you're on DA at the time and I'll check with you to see where you are in queue. If I get into the queue ahead of you and tickets look like they will sell out before your turn, I may be able to get you one if you can pay me back through PayPal or something. But I'll need to know right away, because my place in line will only be reserved for so long once I get to the checkout. Things move really fast.
-Bring your portfolio! There is always a Recruitment booth to drop it off at, and sometimes people will help critique your work.
-Bring a silver permanent marker, get in line after the panels, get autographs from your favorite people--whether you collect autographs or not, it is a fantastic way to meet great people and get advice. Ask questions at the Q&As for the same reason.

I've been there four times, so if you have any questions whatsoever, just ask. :D

Hey Cornelia it's Claudia! It was really awesome to have met you at GDC. Thanks so much again for all your critique, and being my line-waiting-friend! (: I wanted to ask would it be okay if I added you on Facebook for networking?

Hi! It was great to meet you too. To be honest I am never on facebook. I log in maybe once every two weeks to see if there is anything important from friends or so. You got my email, and you can always contact me here :)

Terloops, is jy tans in Suid Afrika of oorsee? Volgens jou een journal post klink dit my jy is in die States? Ek wil self so graag California toe gaan!
