    and i will…

Hey Tojo, you have some brilliant work posted on Sumea. Your drawing style is fantastic! It looks like it came from the hand of someone who's been in the animation/concept industry for years! You're amongst the best concept artists showcased on this site, I reckon.
Yeh, there are numerous reasons why you might not have received a response from developers (they don't have an adequate HR department to handle replies, or they could be inundated with applicants etc). Don't be too disheartened, keep up the fantastic work, I'm sure you'll get snapped up in no time!

Tojo, have you done any game work yet? Mods, shareware ..etc? I can't see any such involvement in the game community from your web page. This is the first thing I would fix, is to get yourself on some MOD/Homebrew/Shareware titles (free work).

Once you can show you can model/draw for a real game, then it will be more in your favour for work prospects.

Also comments on your web page like this don't help...

cheers bullet :)

Thanks Souri... you made my day! You are a legend!

(groovyone) I've squished quite a few things into morrowind and a few other games... weapons/sharks/palmtrees/a tiki bar that plays hula music.... great big giant hammers and volcanos..... tanks and cars, huge guns and naked women[:D]... i should showcase more of this stuff(agreed)... although at the moment i am focusing on a cut scene style animation.......

but i think you are right!.. i should perhaps do more communal modding... something a bit bigger than i am... ... [;)] bloody

hell!! sometimes i think you need 3 lifetimes!
:)....

it is always a toss up with what you learn next.... i have so much i am learning in animation/texturing/modelling/ik/rigging and just about everything... coupled with being cought up in really enjoying designing an enviroment from scratch...

but i totally agree with you .... definately good advice [:)]

and i will remove the 'laziest bastard on the face of the earth' comment.. from my site:) in truth... i am actually one of the most motivated bastards in the face of the earth... that was just meant to be a comic cover for the fact i havent had any money to pay for my new domain[;)]

cheers dudes!
