I wondered if I'd find you on dA.
You probably don't remember, and I really hope I have the right person.
But you were a substitute teacher once, years ago at Jane A. Hambric Middle School, I remembered you had shown me and my friends a couple drawings you'd done (One was of Samus Aran, I recall). Your name just suddenly popped back into my head and I decided to do a bit of digging.
I see you've improved greatly since then.
Like I said, I really hope I have the right person, if not...well...uhh disregard this XD

So you were the one that has been looking for me. Yes that was me. Which class was I substituting for? I am really surprised anyone has bothered looking for me at all. LOL I have more stuff at www.joelportillo.info. I still need to add more to my gallery here. Busy with work and all. Writing too. How are you? Where you at in life?

To be honest, I don't remember who's class it was, all I remember is that it was in Middle School.
Your name just popped back in my head one day actually, I visited your gallery once when you subbed for us.
Eh, life's a bit so-so right now. Graduated from college with a BA in Game Design, but there's no market for that in El Paso. I'm looking to move somewhere else for that, so right now, just struggling to find a job to get things paid for.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Here's the thing: Game art and design is definite difficult field to get into. There is way more competition than there are jobs. Also, the pay is not that great. Starting pay may begin around 27,000. The good ones are around 41,000. To get more, you have to work for a company that sells their work to hollywood type companies. Also, the game companies can easily fold if their product is not popular or sells are low. I had to jump into graphic design to get into a field at least similar to my studies and even then the pay is low and jobs rare. What is your focus on in terms of game design. Are you more into the art or the programming? If you want to be in demand, programming is the way to go. If you want art, well, that's a competitive field in its own right. Where did you get your degree?

Yes I'm from Romania.Romania is such a beautiful place,we have a lot of traditions...i love my country but...i'm kinda bored somethimes
Thanks....foooor....your notice

Thank you. I am trying to better myself for career advancement, I merely work as a graphic designer. I want to try to work in Video games and Animation. Currently I am working on a novel (don't know if I'll illustrate it yet) and one of the characters is Romanian. I want to make her as lifelike as possible and definitely do not want to offend anyone from your country. I am Mexican American and know what it is like to see characters with Hispanic/Latin backgrounds portrayed in a negative way in books and television. Tell me, if you could, what are the traits by which Romanians hold themselves to. How do women view themselves? Any info you could provide would be great, or at least point in a direction where i can find the answers. Thank you for answering my message. I really really really appreciate it.

Well,I read your messaje.Romanian women are very beautiful,are special such as:they know how to dress with beautiful and sexy clothes(if it's necesary)they could have a job and in the same time they could be very good wifes

Thank you for taking the time to write back. I would love to visit Romania someday. I'll have to educate myself on the people (especially the sexy beautiful ones that would make good independent housewives). I'm sure you will be just as beautiful if not more so when you are older. Adios for now.
