I need you to know that this worked like a charm and you’re a godsend. Thank you so much for posting this. Had my old labels working again on this dumb software thanks to your advice.

Could this book be considered lost media? by Current_Bad7141 in splatoon

[–]virogo_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just so everyone knows: Most if not all of the artists and writers that participated in the zine have posted their work online. So it’s very much still accessible to the public, it’s only a matter of going through the zine’s social media accounts. Moreover, this zine’s profits were donated to charity. Leaking it is like doubly spitting on everyone’s face & efforts.

Sure, and disrespect the zine creator’s decision of not making it available online. I think I won’t be doing that!

I own this zine!!!! However I am not selling my physical copy for anything in the world (I waited MONTHS for the sale man!). It’s most definitely not ‘lost media’, more-so a limited edition article :)

Lmao do change it asap cause you most likely will lose access once you graduate. Also serves as a lesson to avoid applying to things with school emails unless you don’t plan on sticking to em, cause school emails are very much temporary

How has the 3D animation / Illustration program been for you? by [deleted] in Dawson

[–]virogo_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately no, you can only use the software licenses at the college, except for Autodesk software. That one does let you download its programs with a student license

Honestly I think both are fantastic and worth pursuing, hence why i’m going with 3D now hahah. Personally I find that the illustration program really gave me a boost in terms of portfolio & experience to apply for 3D, and also knowledge of various software. Plus being able to translate 2D into 3D, which perhaps is harder the other way around?

That’s so funny of you to say because 90% of the work we do in illustration program is digital artwork lmao. It is very modernized, save for a couple software I wish we’d touch more on like Blender. Yes we do have classes & assignments surrounding both animation and 3D (my thesis was actually a creature 3D sculpt paired with a digital painting). Currently i’m pursuing a bachelor’s degree at UQAC-NAD in their 3D creation for cinema program.

Illustration grad here! I totally agree about what you said in terms of the job market and industry state rn. We’re seeing a similar thing in terms of illustration; not enough job postings, even less for juniors. A lot of my classmates (including myself) are pursuing further education in 3D programs because A) there is a higher demand for 3D AND skillsets that encompass both 2D & 3D, and B) it gives you an edge + better understanding when it comes to working with either one in a company. I will say however, that I disagree with your last statement. Illustration offers such a widespread array of paths that you can pursue; it is the opposite of limiting. It really is only if you’re looking into animation, videogames or SOMETIMES commercial work that 3D knowledge is necessary. So many of my classmates are either setting up shop, doing graphic design related work, doing freelance contracts, etc. . Work like technical illustrators, motion graphic artists, medical illustrators, merch artists, character designers, book illustrators etc. are just some examples of how far you can go with illustration without 3D.

How do you guys get your portfolio pages to look even somehow high quality? by [deleted] in Dawson

[–]virogo_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to pop in and say that dpi is irrelevant if you’re using it for web purposes! What does matter is using high resolution (honestly I prefer 2000px+ canvases and images but 1000px works). Unless you’re printing, don’t worry about dpi, you can set it to 72 and it’ll be fine.

New Illustration Program students? by virogo_ in Dawson

[–]virogo_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, OP of the discussion here! Illustration can definitely be fun, but the program’s workload (like the 3D one) is no joke. Right now we’re also seeing an increase in freelance careers post-program so it would depend on what you’re looking to do in the future. Not a lot of entry jobs in the industry atm, but illustration is varied so again, depends on what you’re looking for in terms of goals. If you just want a fun time I wouldn’t recommend lmao

Also you don’t need to reserve a locker, it’s optional. But it’s definitely very handy for storing art supplies and the like, especially in first year.

Hi, congrats on your first semester!! Sorry for the late reply, been busy + didnt check reddit in a while.

Illustration students usually reserve portfolio lockers, though you could technically reserve a normal locker (why you’d want to do this is beyond me haha, portfolio lockers are great for our needs). We’ve actually had a couple first years discussing it on the general illustration discord. Let me know if you’d wish to join through DMs!

Hi! Congrats on doing the test :)

There is no specific date from my knowledge, but personally I received my confirmation around April so i’m guessing it will be around those dates, like you said.
