I'm doing okay. Making a decent, but rocky start to my career as a board game artist. I need to start proving myself to developers and publishers, but I'm pretty confident. I'm not a great businessman yet though, and I need to learn to be one.

WARNING: long post, sorry

Haha. Well, how do you feel about drawing me a Black Widow? I'm talking Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow, not only does she look good, but she kicks ass and saves the day. I hope they finally give her a stand alone movie.

Well, it's become obvious that I won't be continuing my art history studies any further, if I'd wanted to start a master's next fall, I'd have to submit a project by Monday, and it's just not happening. I don't see any future there, anyway. Except maybe as a college teacher, but I need a master's and I can't do one right now.
I've thought of studying art restoration, but to be a fully-fledged restorator you need a master's too. I could do a museology technique (3 years college program) on the other side of Montreal, but I wouldn't do actual resotration and it would be a longer commute than I'm doing now (but it would be a whole lot cheaper than a master's as college is almost free).
My ideal career path would be sexology but that means ANOTHER bachelor's and then a master's, so five more years in university, which is long and costly, but there seems to be more opportunities for jobs, the professional order was created two years ago and the only specialized bacherlor's is given in Montreal.
I've even looked at old highschool dreams like watchmaking and jewelry, but it doesn't look too good in the career department.
TL;DR, I don't see myself as an academic anymore, I'd like to do something with my hands OR help people and feel useful to society.

Well, on top of going back to old highschool career ideas, I've been growing out my hair and wearing it like I did back then, I keep meeting people from highschool, I've gone back to Star Wars, and Forgotten Realms too, and I've even started listening to music I haven't heard in years. And i still have no idea what to do with my life. I feel like I've come full circle and i'm not sure I like it.

What? Board game artist? That's great

You never need to warn me for long post, I read them anyway (but will take longer to reply )

I see you liked the Black Widow I drew (Can't say I had a hard time looking up reference pictures )
No standalone Black Widow picture for phase III. They did announce Captain Marvel though.

You've never told me about watchmaking or jewelry. Watchmaking seems difficult, but making jewelry seems like something you can learn in your spare time, much like drawing. It'll be a while before you can sell it on something like Etsy, let alone live off of it, but it'd be fun getting there.
If you have the luxury of taking some more time to think and ask others whose opinion you value*, then you should do so.

Hah, I'm also letting my hair get longer again (though mine are not as majestic as yours, sadly.) I'd say that the crucial difference is that you've already been here and now you're older. But that also means you can now choose a different path than last time.

It's amazing, and I think I'm really liking this little part of the illustration world.
Carlijn plays a lot of board games, and while I was looking for publishers of books, she reminded me that board games need to be illustrated as well. So far, it looks to me as though there's a slight demand for good artists in this field (whereas the field of videogames has too many artists -and book publishing has too many as well, but mostly due to pisspoor standards. Too many of the book covers I encounter are plain ugly, but publishers don't care.)

*Not mine in this case, since studying in Canada is very different from studying in the Netherlands in too many ways.

Haha, alright (and that's fine )

I did, I haven't commented yet because I'm still looking for something pertinent to say other than "Hot dayum!" (Haha, I was really happy to see the Age of Ultron blue lines though, thanks )
Why? Why make a movie about a chracter yet to be introduced when you,ve got one already out there?

Yes, well, it's my girly side, I like shiny things, and I don,t know, the idea of miniature work has always appealed to me. And yeah, watchmaking IS difficult, and outdated, BUT the only watchmaking school in Canada is in my grandparents' town, so it's still an option. And yeah, I guess, but I don't want to do stuff with plastic pearls and feathers, I'm interested and metalworking on a small scale, we've been studying goldsmithing and silversmithing in my Arts of the Fire class and I just love it. I also just bought a book about a female goldsmith at François Ier's court in the 16th century and I'm fascinated.
I've talked about it with my mom and with my boyfriend, so far. But clearly my dad is the most important person I need to talk to, since he basically pays for my studies. Sexology means 5 more years in university

Haha, are you on your way back to that ID pic you showed me ? Well, I imagine that would mean going into watchmaking or jewelry then, sexology is a definite step in the same direction as astrophysics was and didn't that go horribly wrong. I do have a greater distance from it and I've had more time to think about it. It's jut a bit depressing. Maybe I should see it as being given a second chance.

It certainly sounds like fun.
Well, she's got good instinct then, and I'll be looking forward to seeing your work on my friends' shelves (Yes, and tell me about it, ugh. Book illustrating was one of my career ideas too, but it was stamped ou pretty early.)

Haha, that might not be the most eloquent response, but it's accurate (You're welcome. I like the AoU suit, although all of their outfits seem to be designed by Tony Stark with the hot rod lines I approve.)
Well, Captain Marvel is very important in the Marvel Universe (and a little OP.)

So what were the responses they gave you? And it's probably wise to have gone to your mother and Olivier before going to your father.

Yes, in a way. But this time I know what I'm doing
That sounds like a good way of looking at it


I hope they'll enjoy it as well, and you can always tell them you know the artist (I can't recommend going into book illustration either. Only if you get asked by a bigger publisher.)

Haha, indeed it is I like the messy lines though, don't worry too much about it
(True that. Well, since he designed Ultron (right?), it's only fair that he would be the one to best conceive defensive suits against him. And I also approve, I loved Tron Legacy )
Which is why I'm more interested in Black Widow, I'm not too much into OP characters.

My mother is worried about money and time, mostly. Money in both cost of studies and future salary, and time for the length of my further studies. She thinks sexology seems to offer the best career safety and opportunities, but it will be costly and long so if my dad isn't willing to pay for five more years of uni we'll have to forget about it, she just doesn't make enough to pay for me. Olivier is pretty much of the "do-what-you-feel-like" school of opinion. To be honest, aside from the money factor and the fact that I wouldn,t be in his university anymore, I think it would make my dad happy that I would be going in a connected path to his, and that I'd have a career plan then. If he's not willing to pay I'll probably go into less expensive job options, like a watchmaking professional degree or a museology technique.

Haha, good. Do you still have the musketeer facial hair look too? If you grow your hair long enough you can go for the 17th century pirate aesthetic

I spent it with Olivier, doing pretty much nothing except watching TV, playing video games, and reading. We did eat out on Wednesday night and we went to see Jupiter Ascending

I'll give it a look when I have time then.
How about asking Carlijn to pose for you ?

The main reason why I loved the character (strictly as a villain back then, in my 15 year old eyes he was irredeemably evil) was that he used art to build his strategy and find weaknesses in his opponents, though now that I've studied art history I find it hard to believe and kind of problematic that you can build a sound tactical analysis of an entire species based on a few generalized formal characteristics. Although I guess you CAN generalize the art of an entire species when you've got a galaxy filled with desert planets, ice planets, magma planets, and unified species. I mean, maybe these species unified culturally when they delopped space travel, as your planet becomes your main origin when traveling in such a huge frame as a galaxy, but even then I don't think humanity would become as culturally uniform as the Wookies or the Mon Calamari for exemple when we start exploring space outside the solar system. Sorry, I obviously think too much about this.

Well, yes and no. It's nice to be cute, but you know, I'm 25, I don't really want to be cute anymore. (Like, I like it but it bothers me? I really don't know why, to be honest.)

[can't help the grin on my face as I notice][as you sit, I cross my legs so that the one on top brushes against yours][shit what do I drink to look cool?] Er, same. (Aw yeah, and someone is playing smooth jazz on it.)
With discipline? Not really, he's almost as bad as I am

Ah, work work work...
Okay



Well, you're less pink-butterflies-and-princesses-cute, and more that-girl-in-the-library-cute, if that helps (or makes sense.)

[represses the urge to say "What's a girl like you doing in a place like this?"] "The drink, as promised. Would you like something else along with it?" [looking at you now...]
Haha, okay, someone else then?

I like both kinds of cute, funnily enough, so it's fine (and it does make sense, I guess.)

[why, are we in a shady joint ?] Well, a good conversation would be nice, i like to have my... mind stimulated when I meet someone new [resists urge to wiggle eybrows suggestively, opts for a tilt of the head and grin]
Like whom? My mother? She's actually a bad as me when it comes to discipline. I guess it really does have to come from me. I don't know, I guess I'm really bad with motivation lately, it's the spring effect (you could say I have backwards seasonal depression )

Haha, the pink-butterflies too?

[Probably not, it just sounds fun to say ]Well then, [reaches out hand] I have a room where we can talk all night, if you'd like.

Haha, backwards seasonal depression sounds strange. But I get it. It's too nice outside, damn it

Of course! I played with barbies and dolls as a kid, and although I barely ever wear pink, dresses, or butterfly-related stuff, it doesn't mean I don't like it

[Haha, fair enough] Well then, [tilts head, hesitates, then smiles and places hand in yours] let's go!

Well in my case it has a little to do with how I hate the heat, though I'm glad to be rid of my winter gear, and a lot to do with bad memories, most of the bad stuff that happened in my life in recent years happened in the spring, and also because spring means and of term in school, it means job-hunting, yoyo weather, and dealing with strong echoes of my first depression. Hopefully it will get better over time, but ever since I left highschool spring has been synonymous with bad things.
Haha, there's that, too, though I can say I made the most of it so far, I walked a whooping hour and a half Monday to get new earphones, I was just too happy to have an excuse to walk outside in a t-shirt and unning shoes (Also because Best Buy does not accept direct PayPal payment, unlike Future Shop, which they just absorbed. Sadface.)

Fair enough

[while walking to the room] Going along with someone you just met, you must be as adventurous as you are gorgeous. Now what would satisfy such an adventurous mind?

I hope there's a chance for good memories to replace the bad ones, eventually.

Sometimes I do wish all my clothes weren't blue or black, but when shopping I can never find girly stuff that fits me, so

[raises an eyebrow] And you often invite along someone you just met? I did come to this bar for a reason... [wiggles eyebrows] Though I'll admit I don't do this so often. [grimaces] Well, you seem like quite the adventurous man yourself, what do you have in mind?

Well, the trip to Paris was a good start

Really? That sounds less like your fault, and more like local fashions'. Utrecht has a lot of strange and colorful clothes, which is kinda great for art students

[halts, looks into eyes] I'm looking for someone to explore all the pleasures, and you seem like a rare gem. [moves towards door] Where do you want to go? [grin]

I very much agree

Maybe, but i haven't shopped for clothes in ages, maybe I'll try to buy more colourful stuff this summer (if I have any money for that, of course.)
Yeah, I can imagine ^^

[blushes, looks away] Well, let's take it one pleasure at a time, shall we? [follows with trepidation] No idea, how about outside [sticks out tongue]
