Illustration for magazine article, it was fun to try something different...I've been taking awfully lot of pressure about work but when I finally just got to experiment and stopped worrying too much, the result became more interesting.

The colors are done to perfection! It's kinda trendy looking. Perhaps the only art work you've posted (that I recall) that seems 'commercial'.

It's probably the theme also, I find it easy when I get to draw animals or faces, but none of them were really relevant to the topic so I chose different approach. Only thing that was solid in my head was that I really wanted to imitate 80's gaming illustration style, like western Megaman covers and all the shinyness and images that illustrate anything virtual, like grids and geometrical shapes.

So it is a little unusual even to the creator! And indeed you achieved all the things described here.

Thanks for replying!

How do you feel about making the transition from being a student to being a professional? Whats it like? I'm asking because I'm a little nervous about how that works.

It was long in the grey area really. During my most active years at school I didn't give much thought to applying to jobs but when my time limit drew closer, I just had get portfolio done and send it to different places. I still haven't graduated, but I don't have lot of classes to attend, so I need and want to do illustration on the side.

For me, getting to do illustration for this magazine during past half year has felt like I'm an actual illustrator, even if I don't illustrate like every week or get by with my work just yet. I've sent my illustration portfolio to different places, mostly I pick them by just "I want to do illustration for you" and see if it bears any fruit. It felt good to be noticed and taken seriously, so even at times I didn't get job, my portfolio got passed over to another person and someone else contacts me asking if I want to do some other job. I didn't have confidence to call myself professional when I was just selling prints and my own work, even though I'd had all right to do so. To me, being professional is being confident about value of your work and being capable of handling work in proper order and staying in schedule, since at least to me, I've had to realize there's lot more to illustration than just drawing a picture and sending it away.

Advice that I try to keep in mind is, be realistic about what you can do and what you can't. You can learn a lot from single work experience, but it's important to be honest to yourself and client, otherwise you'll end up overloading yourself.
