...Dead Space, Naoki Urasawa's Monster, Dark Fantasy/Horror preferences, and you're making indie comics/games.

You're pretty much what I'm hoping to be in a few years, to a surprising degree. Any advice? I realize you have your Skype up there but I imagine a woman like yourself is quite busy with your work, so I'll ask here.

Your very kind, my friend. Its wonderful to meet others who are upbeat about making the Otaku world bigger. Advice, well let me see... I went to Westwood College for Game Art, but before I finished I started working on side project games with various teams I formed with other college students, and made flash games, entered contest with them etc. Its always good to join more than one team, because when your all new at it and your team is too you never know which is going to make it all the way to the end, and which will not. Sad but true it doesn't always matter how determined and commented you are about finishing, if the rest of your mates quite caring its gets very hard. But yeah networking is the best thing to do for indie games, I've found a lot of work that way. Including my eventual lead art role for this game: [link]

LinkedIn, your school mates, and on this site as well.

In fact for comics, about 85% of all my comic book work I got via applying to the ads in the forms. -One place outside of here you might want to inquire about joining is Scattered Comic Studios (they have a website of the same name), don't know if they are taking new inkers right now but well worth a try. They find jobs for you, keep a cut of what is made for each page, and you get to get published printed studio work (pretty cool). Honestly though my favorite type of comic work is one-on-one with the writers which also pay you.

Other than that... Just make sure your name is very present on the Internet for people to find you, have a lot of art accounts in different places, get a website if you don't have one, be out there with twitter to advertise your skills. Surprisingly my very first comic job I got by complete surprise via email, from someone who saw a vector drawing of mine and just thought I'd make a good colorist. -Which was funny because I had attended me first Comic Con a month or so before that, and was discussing colors with one of the artist from Tom Cow on game textures. -But I've been doing comics ever since. :)

Wow sorry for rambling on.

I'm still in high school at the moment (looking forward to being done in June!), but I have been trying various mod projects both personally and with teams since about age 13. I've got two gap years given to me by my parents to focus on creative projects and then I'm off to college. I'm presently one of the two main writers for Outcast: Legacy of the Yods ( [link] ), and am planning on learning Unreal script and Kismet in order to finally have a programmer for that UDK project I said about with my one friend. I went through a few projects beforehand (and agreed, things can really go wrong before you even blink), and we both bumped into each other more than once, so we're sticking together and helping each other out whenever possible.

That all is very good to know but... well... my preference is actually the writing side of it. My main strength is writing ( [link] -- my blog, presently the closest thing my writing has to a portfolio with both short stories and non-prose writing. I hope to get myself a real website soon, or at least a Wordpress blog.), followed up by game design and level design. I do want to get better at drawing -- hands, fingers, and feet are next now that I've gotten at least something of a handle on faces and eyes -- but that stuff is more of a hobby for me. That's not to say I can't adapt, but my present skillset is either heavily stylized cartoonish stuff or just faces. I used to draw some full body characters in a style sort of between Gabriel Ba's art in Umbrella Academy and Ted Naifeh's Death Jr., but it's been ages since I tried that style.

In an ideal world, I really just want to -write- the stuff and collaborate like you describe above... but I have no money to speak of. Maybe I'll be able to gather some cash from freelance writing (something else I'll be doing during my gap years), but those are, at most only 250 a pop and I'm already trying to keep up with releases of video games for my blog (I used to only pay around 10-20 bucks for any game because I'd wait two or so years after its release to buy it. Keeping current doesn't allow that option, unfortunately). I've got two ideas and one is set up in a way that it could very easily be a mini-series run (2-3 issues at minimum) instead of anything bigger, but finding an artist who will do the work with you without any payment until the issues sell (even if I'm likewise having to wait) is an unlikely thing, as I'm well aware that even two issues require -a lot- of drawing, coloring, inking, lettering, etc.

Until I find someone or get my skills up to snuff, I'll just keep working on my prose, some day soon programming, game design, and sketching. Thank you very much for the advice, I really appreciate it. Every ounce of knowledge helps.

P.S. Also, I don't know if it counts since it's been literally years since I last got to work on them, but do any of these custom maps from Battlefront 2 look presentable? -- [link] , [link] , [link] , [link] , [link] I realize it doesn't show the AI pathing or the hint nodes in place, but designing levels in BF2 was essentially how I got into modding and subsequently indie games.

P.S P.S. I realize you probably put the info up there for the specific purpose of networking but I still feel it's more polite to ask -- would it be alright to add you on Skype? Perhaps to talk more about writing, art, game design, etc.?

I mean, honestly, I'm trying to be an indie game dev (presently writer for Open Outcast and trying to get a side project together with my Brazilian friend), I'm also writing on my own: [link] and I'm hoping to get into indie comics/animation at some point down the line if either my art skills improve or I find an artist to work with.
