Och! Mentors!
I just posted a request for a mentor on ConceptArt.org .. och! How nervewracking! I even posted a sample of my work! Eeee!
If you don’t know, CA.org is home of some of the most fantastic concept, character, environmental and industrial artists on the freaking planet. I mean, Marko Djurdjevic posts there! Amazing, amazing artists - so its pretty scary for a rank amateur like myself to post there*. Ack!
Anyway, I need want to improve my illustration and character design skills and they have a Request A Mentor thread on their forum, so I figured why not? It doesn’t guarantee that anyone will wanna help me. But if I could get a good mentor to help me out, then that would be rad because I decided that I don’t want to just be a portrait artist. I need work on my peoples (especially action), I have no idea how to convey information via illustration and my environments suck turds.
I hope someone picks me!
*Ok, ok, all sorts of amateurs post there. Thats kinda the point. But I had only been lurking there since last year so it’s weird to post. And post my artwork is even weirder because this is the only place I had ever done that online. Weird!

I just wanted to thank you for the post. Not even sure how I came across it, but I am also interested to get some feedback from anybody who knows something about anything art-like. Gulp - can you smell my ignorance from there? Nonetheless, sounds like something promising - good luck to you and I’ll visit your site again. You have some very thought-provoking stuff and some worthwhile information to share.
Regards,
Mary
