Hello all and Welcome to my Blog!!
I’m Henri and I hate writing/typing long boring paragraphs
so I’m going to try and make this as interesting as possible so I don’t avoid
writing blogs in the future. And hopefully won’t bore you with my crazy
randomness that you want stick a bullet in your head.
I’m 19 and I guess you could say I’m from Leamington Spa and
Northampton as I lived with my mum and went to sixth form in Northampton and visited
my Dad every other weekend and I also attended a UAL Art foundation course in
Leamington Spa.
Coming from an Art Foundation I have done a lot of life drawing,
all though I’m not the best at it I greatly enjoy it and with the skills I've gained from life drawing I hope to become a character artist.
In my spare time it’s easy to say that I have an obsession
with reading books especially Terry Pratchett. My other all-time favourite
authors are Mark Robson and Brent weeks, being the writer of my favourite
series of books, the Night Angel Trilogy. Also I have a passion for competitive
dingy sailing and love to spend my holidays in the French Alps Skiing or Snowboarding.
And last but not least obviously I like to spend my spare time being a social
gamer, which is most probably not surprising considering the course I've decided to take.
I also have a personal love of animation which comes from my
interest in 2D traditional animation such as the detailed, comic art style of
Jamie Hewlett and the wonderful art work of Georges Remi. Although very
different in style, I find that they both create beautiful work, which not only
simulates sentiments and attitudes but gives birth to different worlds that
fascinate and excite me.
Soo reasons for wanting to do this course…Well during my A
levels I didn't have a clue what I wanted to do with my life. I had chosen a course I
enjoyed learning about (20th Century History, Philosophy and Ethics
and ICT) but because I’m pants at essays, which is mainly to do with my dyslexia,
I knew I didn't have a chance in going into further education with any of these
subjects no matter how much I enjoyed the subjects. It was just
after this that I realised, why can’t I join my Love Art and combined it with my love
of Games. So pretty much from that point on I wanted to become an artist in the
computer game industry, and after extensive research I realised that in order
to achieve my dream I had attend an Art foundation to give me the best chance to
get into one of the top courses for Game Art in the country. So it’s easy to
say that I am already half way to achieving my goal. But I've realise that I have
done the easy bit and I have a lot of hard work ahead of me on this course but
I have the passion, and hopefully one day I will develop the skills, which make
it easier to get the most out of this course.
Anyway I hope this all made some sense, and now I'm going stop with
this long, boring, dribble of a post and go and find a sandwich to eat.
