Why I provide Apprentus?

These valuable relationships continue to this day and have become reciprocal when it comes to solving difficult design problems, critiques and advice. These mentors have been an integral part of his professional journey, as advice has gone beyond the work itself to dealing with work/life balance, studio cultures, mundane but essential admin issues; marketing, taxes, etc.
I am now offering mentorships to repay those who have helped me, and to provide that much-needed support for mentees looking to break into the industry as a concept artist or illustrator.
About me:
I am a Concept Artist / Illustrator from Dublin. I have over 5 years of professional experience working in film, advertising, games and sci-fi/fantasy illustration. I began my career in Ireland working as a storyboard artist for brands like Sony, Dunnes Stores and Lifestyle Sports. Having always had a passion for film, I transitioned into the film industry interning at SSVFX working on titles such as 'Room' and 'Black Sails'. This led to a move to London where I worked in-house at Painting Practice. Currently, I am working remotely as a freelancer while traveling the world. I work on film titles at the highest level, such as 'Black Mirror', 'His Dark Materials' and 'Artemis Fowl' for clients like Disney, Warner-Bros, Netflix and HBO. My illustrations have been featured in both national and international publications such as The Irish Examiner and Paizo Inc's 'Pathfinder' and 'Starfinder' series.

Learn 3D Art with me ! Create a demo reel that employers will pay attention to with the help of an industry senior (suitable for beginners)Hello, my name is William.
As of today, I’ve been working for 11 years in the animation series and film industry as Lead and Senior Character artist, Lead and Senior Environment artist, CG generalist and CG supervisor.
I understand the challenges associated with getting noticed by studios as a beginner who want to step into the industry and I’d like to provide my help.
This is a consulting and supportive course for students and artists interested in breaking into the animation, video game, VFX and commercials industry.
This is not suitable for any professional work, as I am surely not going to do any 3D work for you :)
The course will be tailor-made, which means that I will assist and advise you with the best possible hints and tips based on your current skills and current portfolio.
I will provide you with personalized feedback to help you boost your demo reel as close as possible to the standards of the industry for you to catch the attention of recruiters and hopefully getting you a job !
The software used should be free like Blender or Unreal Engine but I can also provide help within Maya if you can afford a license for yourself. The general idea is to provide guidance to level-up to a large and accurate knowledge for you to keep progressing with your preferred software of choice.
This course is suitable for perfect beginners and hobbyists who want to turn professional. I can guide you through the numerous software out there and help you pick an industry standard and advise you on the skills you need to grow in order to create or boost your portfolio.
I am a calm person with a good temperament and will try to provide best feedback for you, let’s have fun and create together!

About me:
Hello, my name is Jacey and I'm currently attending NYU to get my certification to teach visual arts K-12.
The reason I want to become an art teacher is to help students develop their own style. Everybody has their own habits and tendencies when making art, and I want to help you thrive using your own style– or, if you want to become the master of realism and copying, I can help with that too. Every artists has their own goals!
I also believe in creating art as a way of a stress-reliever. If you'd like to do your own thing while having someone to listen to, I can create art by your side and talk about you!
