The Exchange: AuditionThe scene wasn't pretty. A circle of fire enclosed the field where, mere seconds ago, battle had raged. Now, however, it had calmed. Parts of Cattion mechs seemed to lay everywhere; there had been over a hundred at the battle's start, but now every last one existed only in pieces.The Exchange: Audition
Seven individuals stood tall amid the destruction; after all, they had been the cause. Five stood to one side of the field, two to the other. One of the two was the first to break the eerie silence.

Hollow- A Light Legacy TaleCP Cutscene 1 Location: City // Subter Sector North // Magic Corner Setting: Mid-afternoon, the Northern Subter sector is bustling with activity as a multitude of Subters go about their business in the busy city streets. Especially busy is the Market Square, an open city block plaza where various vendors have set up tents and tables to sell their wares. On the corner of the market square is a small clearing. As the camera zooms in, it seems that the clearing is marked off by Aaron, our protagonist. He is performing a magic show; three Subters have stopped to watch, the others milling around either ignore him entirely or give onlyHollow- A Light Legacy Tale

Are you a fighting games fan? Why not join Digital Dojo?
Anyway, what i wanted to say was that i'm intending to go into the videogames industry myself with my artistry, but i don't know whether i've got the skill for it. Would you be so kind as to have a look through my gallery, and tell me what you think? It'd be interesting to hear the opinion of someone who's already there.
Thankyou in advance!

I took a look at your gallery, and it seems pretty good. You look like you've got a lot of the basic skills down, especially in terms of anatomy of characters (which is oh-so-extraordinarily important). I would like to know what programs you're using in most of your art in your gallery- It's good to have a lot of experience in Photoshop and Flash especially. Illustrator is good as well, but it's not as versatile.
Some things to note:
-Speed.
It's vitally important in the Game industry where everything's on a watertight schedule. Spend some time learning to do what you already do but faster. Set a goal for yourself with a time limit. I know, time limits sometimes get in the way of making better art, but with practice you can bring both speed and quality up.
-Modding
Modding is a good way to start a game-related portfolio. Find a 2D game that will let you edit the art legally, and create a new tileset or character design, or better yet overhaul the entire game's graphics.
-Concept Art
This is another instance where speed is a factor- in the game industry, when pitching an art direction you need a ton of quick drawings that convey the art style you're going for in everything from environment to characters to even the menu.
And the big one...
-3D
This is a stumbling block for quite a few artists I know in my major. A good percentage of them are excellent 2D artists, but cannot do 3D to save their lives. In the current state of the game industry, 3D modeling/texturing/animation is vital, so if you can get any access to a 3D modeling program like Maya or 3D Max, do so and start playing around with it as soon as you can.
Again, you look like you've got a good base set of skills, so now's the time to start branching out, broadening that skill base. If there's any other way I can help, let me know, and keep me posted on what you're up to!
