New here? / INTRODUCE YOURSELF
« on: Jan 31, 2005, 02:36 PM »
I just realized that I never really introduced myself...
Anyway, my real name is Luke G. and my screen name for pretty much every messenger and forum is MechaWasabi.
I'm 17 (18 in a couple weeks) and still in high school. I've been accepted to the Art Institute of Atlanta's "Game Art and Design" program; I'm also working on a portfolio for an AIA scholarship. If I don't start racking in some serious money, my family won't have the funds for me to attend AIA, which totally sucks. To the max.
My biggest passion is video gaming and critiquing the games I play. Drawing and inking is a close second as far as hobbies go.
While Game Designer is going to be my future career (hopefully), I've always wanted to have something of mine published independently. If I could just get a book out, I wouldn't give a flying crap about the money. Hence, here I am at VOID, hoping to improve my sequential art skills between my newest game addiction and scrounging for scholarships.
That's about it.
...
Oh, and I haven't forgotten about Swanky Roe. He's still coming (and I'm almost done), but it's just taken a while. "Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath" kind of came out unexpectedly and... well... I've been playing the Hell out of that.
