New Beginnings

It’s sort of funny what happens to a person in the course of a year and a half (or so). Looking at my last post - egads, from 2022… - I had thoughts on what I would be doing with my life at the time. I did continue working on that short story (next part posted here on Friday morning) and I did continue applying for jobs (more than 360 in as many days), but instead of working on any modeling, I decided to let that take a back seat for the summer. It was nice, and right when I decided to get back into it in August, I lost the access to the programs.

That sucked to be honest. It really crippled my momentum and I had to work hard at a job that was feeling more and more like a dead end to afford the computer I am sitting at now. A big beautiful gaming computer that only rises above a hum when rendering something bulky. It’s lovely. I’m happy.

Anyway, I’m starting to buckle down on myself a little bit. I’m working on an environment (the process I’ll start talking about here soon) to start bolstering my admittedly lacking demo reel.

This is the year I get into the industry at some level. This is the year I start to make use of my degree.
