Woah, this looks awesome. The brush streaks look rough, that creates a reaaaally cool effect. Nice job

You really had a great improvement there, however as I check you almost each day in the last year, you improved very much since then. Congrats and keep up the good work!

Great improvement all around! I had no idea you were only 18!? Lol, I realize now it's on your profile page, but yeah I thought you were older

Thanks! Hehe yeah people tend to think I'm older... A lot of kids around my age are just kinda floating around, having fun, not worrying about what they're gonna do... As soon as I got a tablet back in December 2011 (was my 15th birthday) I really just started a never ending churn of digital paintings. Which, ya know, some people might view as bad because that means my social life has been pretty damn "meh". But if I weren't painting I would just be playing video games all day instead (which I still do, some days 
Anyways, although it's super beneficial to start at this age because you have a ton of free time. It still doesn't matter how old you are, you just gotta get the mileage in!
There's this one guy I know, Efflam Mercier who is just really fucking good and is already working in the industry with a lot of great people, and he's only like 8 months older than me. Hehe

Hahaha damn that's awesome, it's great to hear about such determination and dedication. Yeah, I completely agree about most teenagers being rather aimless, that was me. Not that I had a social life either, just consumed by my xbox lol. You are definitely right about the mileage, I've heard it many times. Practice makes perfect 
Wow, his stuff is awesome. That's the great thing about art, it doesn't matter who you are, where you're from, education, or even age. All that matters are your skills and the mileage will get you there
So if it's alright to ask, what is the master plan? Being one of those 'floater' kids lol, I'm curious about how you think about your future, where you want to see yourself regarding art?

Haha well I don't have much of a master plan but I guess my goal is just to become a concept artist and get in to the video game/movie industry. Once I'm there I'm not sure what will come after! I try to stay optimistic, but life is unpredictable, I'm not certain what will happen

Cool! Good to hear, best wishes! Are you going to go to a traditional art school? or taking workshops and online courses?
