Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Also, be open to new things... could be History seems the best option now, but you never know. I started in graphic design and ended up a psychologist

I started off in Graphics Design too and ended up an office clerk with a degree in music composition....

(i may teach or go to law school though).

You two are make me feel even more uncertain about my future, graphic artist major here, lol.

Got my first bachelors in teaching(History). Went back and got another in nursing. Best move I've ever made. Total job security in an unsecure time.

I'm working towards my ADN right now.We are the 5% (males) of the field and I agree you can't beat the job security.

I was just ready for a change.I enjoy helping people and I believe it will be a rewarding choice.

Good Luck Josh, smart move going back to school.

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

The most important thing is to do what you love, even if it hardly pays at all. My Dad is an actor, and for years we hardly had any money, no car, and a really small house. Still, he knew that the most important thing was getting a solid education--it's saved us time and again. Now we actually aren't much better off than that, but you'll never find a happier man because he does what he loves, loves what he does, and has a wife and seven children who love him more than anything. All the other stuff about security and luxury really doesn't matter at all compared to that--a whole and happy family can happen even with no money at all.

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

The way I look at it, you like customizing. That's your passion. Get a degree where you can make good money even if it isn't a career that "lights your fire". That way you won't have to worry about cash but can still do the things you enjoy the most. My 2 cents anyway.

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

I've done a job I mostly hated and now have one I love. Most importantly, I have a lot of time with my family.

But teaching is fun and its great to do something that feels so rewarding.

If you can manage it, do something you love.

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

I appreciate all the kind comments guys. It should all work out in time, I think that once I am at least in school I will be able to refocus if necessary. Biggest thing is just to find something that I can do day to day and still handle bills and such.

But, back to the art... Tonight I did a few things... Since I am so low on paints, I did some sculpting. I got a head that looks enough like Heath Ledger for me to make a decent Dark Knight Joker head for a custom.. So I gave it my best shot.. still needs fine tune work.. but I think I did a decent job. Also did some Zombie wound work to Vamp Buffy. Also posting some pics of the finished Red Skull I did for Metaphorge...

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Really nice work on the Joker there Josh. Really cool sculpting. What are you using for your sculpt medium? Looks like sculpey...

And good luck on your college plans bro. I am proud of you.
I wish you well on your path, and I hope it brings you what you seek.

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Hey Josh! Your sculpting looks pretty good with the Dark Knight Joker. I can't wait to see the final product.

Thanks for the update on Vampire Buffy. She's looking good.

Thanks a ton Mooncat! It was a hard find, that is for sure... I had to track down a head that was close enough to work for me, and after that point.. it was just diving head first into the sculpting duties to try and get it as close as possible to Heath as the Joker. I really can't wait to paint him up and hopefully by the end of this month I should have him cast as well.

Tonight I actually finished my other Joker custom, a vision of what the Joker would look like if envisioned by myself. I will be tackling other Batman Rogues and eventually Batman himself with my own take on each of the characters.

So here he is, My Joker. Only unfinished area would be that I have a vest coming for him and will do something more with the hands too....
