Well, a year has passed. I’ve learned a lot, i’ve practiced a lot and i gave it the best i could with 8 months and no funds for professional teaching. So heres the new and improved portfolio for applying to 2011 CGart line in http://www.animwork.dk/

See it here:

I think its quite an improvement over the last year’s application (linky) but we shall see… keeping my fingers crossed

Fail!

As expected, i didnt get into Animwork… my hand drawings were way too weak. I had hoped that my digital stuff and potential for learning would compensate but i guess it was wishful thinking…

i lost most of my time working on the backround(s)
