A quick Greeting, didn't know quite where to announce myself, but as I’m interested in concept work and game design I felt here was as good a place as any. Hello, my name is Ian Thompson; I'm a young student from London, England. I've come to this forum in a hope to learn the trade of concept designer for computer games, I choose concept designer because I’m the type of person who has lots of ideas, and I mean lots. I’m the type of guy who is always doodling rather than working. I draw things but I always have a story behind them in which in some cases I have written a story about the particular race or character. I'll quit boring you know and get straight to the business, if any one needs any concepts worked up or ideas to seed please don't hesitate to ask because after all I’m here to develop my skills and imagination into a trade and possibly pick up some other skills in the process such as enhancing my drawing and writing and also developing coding and modelling skills. So please don't hesitate to talk to me, I feel that I’m quite an approachable and easy going person. Ian.

Genres? I love all the genres, I mean RTS and RPG and FPS are obliviously my fav's but as I say I like all types of games.

I get quite a lot of inspiration from well real life. I mean I look at these public toilets, the ones where you have to put 20p in to get into it, its got a sliding door and lights up at night, and I don't see that as just a toilet but more like a ammo depo in a sci-fi or a spawn point for the same genre.

And I will read that article.

Ian

I'm sorry i often get those two confused.

Ian.

Hah, I know how you feel. Constant rush of ideas that sparks whenever you see something that catches your interest.

Good Luck.
