Personal and Private thoughts and feelings of an otherwise stoic individual. I’m a game & VFX artist in Hawaii.

In the past I’ve always shrugged it off as not being experienced enough, but; after spending the last couple of years working as a Concept Artist and Illustrator 9 to 5, I feel as though I might just have a little knowledge I can share with you guys. </span><br/><br/><span>Essentially, I will take you under my wing and allow you to ‘pick my brain.’ I will help you with what it is you want to learn. Read on if you’re interested! </span><br/><br/><strong>How it works:</strong><br/><br/><strong>Portfolio Review:</strong><span> First things first, we’ll start with a portfolio review. We’ll go over your work and discuss where you’d like to take it. We’ll figure out what your strengths are and discus how to improve your weaknesses. </span><br/><br/><strong>Tailor Made Lessons:</strong><span> What you learn is up to you. I will provide lessons and live demonstrations based on a variety of subjects. If you wish to focus solely on a particular area however;  then the choice is yours. I will tailor the lessons to what it is you want to learn.</span><br/><br/><strong>Weekly Demos:</strong><span> Each week I will spend a couple of hours doing live demonstrations. I will cover a variety of topics that will help you with your work. You are more than welcome to request topics. </span><br/><br/><strong>Weekly Paintover & Critique Session:</strong><span> Each week I will review your work and provide a live paintover and feedback session. This will be your opportunity to ask questions! I will provide a critique and we can discuss how the piece can be improved. </span><br/><br/><strong>Assignments:</strong><span>  If you feel as though you will have better results through assignments and deadlines, I can provide those for you.</span><br/><br/><br/><strong><u>WHAT TO DO:</u></strong><span> If you would like to take part in my Online Mentorship program, email me here at </span><strong>charliebowater@hotmail.com</strong><br/><br/><span>*Provide a link to your portfolio or attach a selection of low-res JPG’s (ten maximum.)</span><br/><br/><span>*Please include a brief explanation of what you’d like to get out of the mentorship. </span><br/><br/><strong>Price</strong><br/><span>$550 / month. </span><br/><br/><strong>When does it start?</strong><br/><span>Applications will be on a rolling basis long term, but some applicants may be able to start immediately. Positions will be offered on a first come first serve basis. </span><br/><br/><strong>What are the requirements?</strong><span> </span><br/><span>Time, a good internet connection and a strong grasp of the English language. We won’t get very far if we don’t understand each other! </span><br/><br/><strong>How long is the Mentorship?</strong><br/><span>Mentoring will be on a month to month basis. You can continue the mentorship for as long as you want. </span><br/><br/><span>If you have any questions / would like any more info / would like to apply; please email me at charliebowater@hotmail.com</span><br/><br/><span>Thanks guys : )</span></p> </blockquote> <p>Oh my god.
