I know I went on realy long, but if anyone from Bungie, or anyone really, sees this and would be so kind as to pass it along to someone who could give me some advice, I’d greatly appreciate it.
So in high school I took 4 years of design classes where I became pretty handy at 3DsMAX and MAYA and similar programs, mostly industrial engineering and architecture designs but still, I really loved it and have always been very artistically inclined and thought I'd love a future in 3D modeling/ concept art or something similar in games or animation studios like pixar and so on. Obviously, college (and especially specialty art schools) are pretty expensive and so I ended up joining the Navy for 6 years in order to use the GI Bill to get myself through the Art Institute game art and design program or something similar. Well, life happens and I ended up in a engineering heavy position in the Navy and coming out with a 2 year degree in engineering and so continuing that path and working on my bachelors in the same field just made too much sense. Except now I’m right back into really wanting to be an artist of some kind again and spending 20+ hours in Destiny, I can’t imagine a bigger dream come true than to somehow weasel my way into the team that makes this amazing game that’s sucking my life into it more and more each day.
I’m nearly done with my mechanical engineering degree so changing to something else is unrealistic, but I do have a good portion of my GI Bill left so finding a program in another school to learn industry skills required isn’t out of the question. I currently work as a nuclear chemist but have been working on art projects all the time. Actually I’m currently illustrating a childrens book, not quite the same idea as designing alien monstrosities and space magic wielding gunslingers, but it has gotten me into using Photoshop and Corel painter so I have some skills in both of those programs as well. I see a ton of different positions in the Careers section but honestly I feel like I could be excited about anything to do with game design so I have no idea where to even poke my nose. I’ve even bought books about sound engineering because it’s so interesting, and I’ve always been a great creative writer of short stories and lots of half-finished novels stored across who knows how many USB drives. Unfortunately, a lot of my artwork is for specific jobs for people a my portfolio is pretty sparse since I’ve never been a big fan of keeping them for myself (for some really odd reason I seriously regret at times like these) but honestly I’d send in artwork for free if it was an option.
I feel like I’m asking someone for the winning lottery ticket number, but what do I need to do to get an opportunity to contribute to Destiny’s future and be involved in the creative process?
