So, the date's set, for my fiance and I to move to Arizona. It's starting to feel very real, thank goodness that TAD is online.
Originally I have applied to start classes this fall, but due to the move and financial situation, I have to re-apply for Spring.
Which is kind of a good thing too, this gives me a little bit more time to re-assemble my portfolio and present a better one. From the previous portfolio review, the result was that I needed to do studies from not photographs but master works in addition to studies of real life subjects.
So as soon as the summer camps were over, I started to do some studies with various media and masterworks. I think I'm really shifting now from just characters to really loving environments too.
Oh yeah. I also got to meet one of my idols in the illustration world. Last year I found his book at the bottom of the barrel, and this year, he signed it for me. Can't express how happy I am :)
