What would you do if you learned that your artwork would be featured in an industry-leading magazine for creative professionals all over the world? …and you only had a few days to select and submit your samples, write a professional bio and a short blurb about each submission, update your website and prepare a series of social media posts to coincide with the publication date? Would you find that inspiring? …motivating? …terrifying? Nine of my students faced this question when they were named among ImagineFX Magazine's "Rising Stars" of 2D and 3D art. …and they're all here to talk about this career-defining moment. They'll share their initial reactions and the challenges they encountered throughout the process. They open up about their struggles with self-doubt, perfectionism, and the super-tight deadline. …and offer insights about how the experience changed them. …probably forever. Today, in part one of a two part series, we'll hear from Mutia Terian, Rami Juma, Dan Tompkins and Veronica Kosowski - in that order.
