Going UP→ Jan 13, 2010, 01:17 PM CST

2010 Can only be better then 2009 for me. I know I'm a little late to be taking about the new year but I'm just excited. I'm going into the Navy and will finally get out of my parents house and be independent. I have nothing against my parents, no problems with them at all. But I'm 20 almost 21 and I want to get the hell out! I want to be independent and travel and have a life. I feel too much like a hermit. I feel odd at the same time though. Normally I spend all my free time working on my art so I can get freelance jobs or score a company job or whatever. I have a wide range of art interests (concept art to comics to photography to animation) and who knows where that go. But now I'm going into the Navy for possibly 6 years, the minimum for intelligence, and I won't be able to start my art career until I get out at 27. I'm actually a little worried because Top Cow doesn't really take newbies over 25 because they've developed bad habits. But now I don't have to work on art because I'm going in and it's like, "well what do I do now". I'm so used to having a goal driving all the time and whenever I'm not working towards that goal I feel like it's wasted time. But now I'm actually stuck just waiting 5 months until I go in the Navy. I have a job as a colorist working for an independent start up company (what the flux comics) and I guess I'll start submitting pages to other companies soon to see if I can get a better job. The only way I would not go into the Navy is if I get a good enough art job.

So if anybody wants to give me a good critique of my work or a job offer or want to see my professional work (which I will email to you) let me know. In the mean time I'll keep submitting, working out and studying my general orders.

About:
I am a student and semi professional. I say semi-professional because I am working for a start-up comic company. My teachers tell me to not undermine that I am a student that is working in the field he is most interested in but I can't help it. I have effectively been coloring for about a year. I've had photoshop and and a tablet for about a year and a half but I was discouraged for a while and then came back to it. I started my account on here when I got it but was very intimidated that i didn't post anything on here. I've really been coloring for about a year and only recently have I started getting really good. I am now a colorist and I am just expecting them to say, "You know what, you really aren't as good as we thought you were, your fired". I want to learn everything and be the best i can be. I'm glad I have a job but I hope it will only continue to new and better paying jobs so I won't have to go into the Navy. That's right I am enlisted but I'm on delayed entry program and if I can get a good enough job i won't go in. Please help me get better so I won't loose 6 years i could be working in a field I love.
