“Hi Miguel! I just wanted to say THANK YOU - I just got a job at AAA studio as a junior enviro CA - they highlighted that they really liked the reseach and appreciated the mindmap I did in art test and I just wanted to let you know about this :) people indeed pay attention to those mindmaps like you mentioned in the course I guess”

Student Testimonial: Mario Andrés Villegas - Praises Miguel Nogueira's Concept Art Services

“Last week I completed my 3 month trial working as a full time rendering artist for a AAA outsourcing studio, and today I signed a full time contract in the same company.

Also I'm working as a hard surface concept artist with an indie developer currently looking for investment. I know this is just the beginning of the road but I just wanted to drop by and say thank you for taking the time to talk to me, inspire me and helping me reach and fight for my goals.

Your words and your guidance really helped me out when I needed it the most and for that I will be forever grateful.”

The Support You Need

It can be hard to travel a creative journey alone, like any adventure, you need a map, compass and, a plan of some sort. All of this plus the support and motivation you need will be with you throughout the whole process, making sure you never get stuck, you always know.

As Isaac Newton said: “If I’ve seen farther than others, it’s only because I’ve stood in the shoulders of giants.”

When you seek mentorships and, to invest in yourself, and building your own understanding and knowledge of how things work, I’d add that you’re also going to enjoy the view of the landscape a lot more. Learn from my mistakes, my past, my history, compacted in this course and other resources, just for you, so the trial and error I’ve been through and all other explored paths I’ve wandered on, creatively, will be set and taught into the highways I’ve found instead.
