Hi all! I have opened 6 Mentorship slots on Gumroad! They will fill up quick, so if you are an artist who’s feeling stuck, or want some career advice, sign up soon!Here’s the link!Hi there! My name is Justin Oaksford. I’ve been a concept artist in the game industry for 4+ years, as well as a teacher, a lecturer, and a freelance illustrator. My experience covers many areas of the entertainment industry, from games and animation (visual development), to illustration and pitchwork for advertising. I’m offering a small amount of 1:1 video chat mentorships for both aspiring and professional artists! What can you expect from these sessions? First of all, these aren’t classes; there are no assignments, nor lectures, nor workshops. I may do paintovers and demos, but the idea behind doing a 1:1 mentorship is that each session is tailored to you and what you want out of it specifically!For some, that means an hour of career advice. For others, it’s an hour of demoing lighting techniques, and for others still, it’s pushing their fundamentals by discussing theory and how it applies to their work. This doesn’t mean that I won’t suggest assignments to you, but rather that this is not a “one-lecture-fits-all” program centered around an individual topic.It’s most beneficial for you to come to me with a specific problem you want to discuss, and samples of recent or in-progress work which relate to the discussion. The more I know beforehand, the more value you will get out of your time! That said, I also will not cut you off at the 60 minute timer unless all of your concerns have been addressed. I’m most concerned with making sure you leave with concrete, actionable steps to help you move forward with your artistic progress, education, or career.If that sounds good to you, feel free to sign up by purchasing through Gumroad. I will then send you an email introduction within 24 hours, letting you know my availability so we can schedule a time! If the mentorships are sold out, have no fear! Once the first round is complete, I will open more slots. However, there is no waiting list, but I will announce it on Twitter and Tumblr first, and will try to give some warning as to when it will be going up. Thank you very much, and I look forward to working with you!-Justin -- source link
