Back-atcha!

I would say that learning a 3d program like Max or Maya makes you much more hirable.

You have to be insanely good to be hired on as a concept artist without any previous experience, especially at developers like Blizzard. So my advice is the same to you as I have offered to many artists before you and that is this:

Don't expect to be a concept artist when you start. You're skipping all of the important educational steps beforehand. Work to get a job in the game industry first, whether that's doing 3d, textures, concept art, etc. It almost doesn't matter.

Make becoming a concept artist your eventual goal, but keep in mind how many extremely talented and qualified concept artists already exist doing the jobs you want. I'm not saying its impossible, I'm just saying it's going to be a difficult road, filled with twists and turns, and if you want that job, you need to be at least as good as they are, or even better. And the best way to get that way is to work your way up, by gathering experience learning every facet of game development you can.

That's why I am offering this line of advice. It's often times not what inexperienced artists want to hear, but like anything worth while, it's best if you earn it.

Thank you, and yes I do work for Blizzard.

Whatever, man...it's your party...lol.

Thank you!

I am a bit internet paranoid. I have 2 of my own IPs that I work on in my own time, and I never post any work related to it. Not even a single image. In fact, I'd say 95% of what I create never gets posted. I only post stuff that is either published or unimportant for the most part.... good news is that at some point this year, I will post some of it and unveil one of my big projects.
