Vis Dev job - just let me freak out a second

Have fun with it!

Thank you @Lee-White and everyone for the support - you demonstrate again and again how important it is to be part of a community...
I've just pressed the send button because I just can't put in any more hours without feeling like an idiot - sending in something like 25 designs, none of them really great. Maybe one or two ok ones.
Trying to channel Marco Bucci saying that "the big chance" doesn't exist and that if you keep doing the work, chances just keep coming. ;-)) -
@smceccarelli I'm not familiar with the industry so I may have misunderstood the scope of this opportunity. Is it a one shot thing or does this one opportunity consists of several phases or rounds of sketches per se? Hopefully if there's another go at it you'll feel much better about the work. You contribute so much to this community and we are all so happy for your opportunities and to likewise encourage you when we can.

@jon-anderson They don’t say much, but my interpretation is that they are using this round to pick who they will be working with for the development of the show. An animated series can take months or years to develop and 5 hours is not even a scratch on the surface - even if they hired a bunch of artist (which I’m sure they did, because I only got a small section of the brief). Either that, or they are just collecting a bunch of ideas to pick the general look and then they work in house....either is possible.
In any case - these five hours pay about 100 times better than the educational books I’m working on right now. It would be nice to have more of those

@smceccarelli what an awesome opportunity! Your work is always top notch. Thanks for sharing your experience so far, so interesting!
-
Wow Simona, this is so great fo you! Congratulations! Your work work is so exceptional, this will be such an awesome experience for you.
-
Well, that seemed to have gone well. I invested probably 10 hours, but they seem very happy. Let´s see what happens next
-
Congrats on the awesome opportunity!!! Very exciting!! Keep us posted!!

@smceccarelli Simona, you probably don't like what you're doing because you're tired and because you have high expectations of yourself. You're probably going above and beyond and, remember, they are supposed to be rough-not perfect! I have no doubt that you will do well and they will like your work, but, as you said, if this doesn't work out there will absolutely be other opportunities (maybe even better ones
) -
Congratulations! Best of luck in this endeavor!
