So I submitted my portfolio to DreamWork's Storyboard initiative on Monday via overnight Fedex. Probably won't hear from them for a least a couple weeks, even then I figure my odds are 1/100 (which I think is the best odds I've had so far) I'll get the story test to work on. Either way I tried and that's what matters.
Also just finished one of the most elaborate and probably most epic prank / April fool's gag I've ever done, which I'm slowly getting everything edited and uploaded to share with everyone.
Items uploaded so far:

Now my goal is to focus on becoming the best texture artist I can in under a week to submit my portfolio to 38 Studios. They're doing a lot of cool stuff right now and I definitely wouldn't mind getting in on the ground floor.
I'm also open for suggestions on other possible open positions in the creative industry, so feel free to shoot me a lead if you have one I will reward you with awesomeness.
Till next time,
Steve
P.S. Minecraft is my enemy right now... I need to be reminded of that fact on a regular basis.
