Research Jobs

So we're supposed to be looking at our dream jobs in the industry. Mine would be at Riot Games, working on League of Legends. Doing what? I dont even really mind.

This is a link to their demands for a senior concept artist. Of course I wouldn't be looking for that straight away but lets say it's a nice dream. Right now I'm not even sure if I want to go into concept art, maybe into character modelling or animation however many of these jobs have similar demands for Riot.

Now to look at what we need. Of course I need to build up a portfolio of 2d and 3d work. To do that I need more skill in both areas, which hopefully I'll gain via the course and hard work through the next few years. Part of this is getting far more skill in anatomy and with that posing and dynamics. This I'm trying to improve in my free time but obviously I need more work especially if I want to work in the field. I need I also need to show that I can work in a team, which hopefully things such as the 2nd year group project will show gloriously. Personally I think the desire they have for someone creative and mutli-genre I have but of course that will grow and I need to make that show through my portfolio. That means I need a very varied portfolio.

Luckily the step about being a League of Legends gamer is ticked nicely.

As I said I'm not sure if I want to go into concept art. It is a passion of mine, but its also a very hard place to get into. Either way, I'm going to need all manner of skills to even get close to this job.
