High Noon Twisted Fate

I'm not a digital artist for now but i want to become one i just graduated from high school and i learn everything from youtube ( KNKL, Sakimi-chan , Mark Crilley ). And this is a drawing of High Noon Twisted Fate i drew for a friend. Whatever so i want to become a Splah artist/Consept artist what should i study is it graphic desing? i would be very happy if anyone of you can help me. Btw Any feedback is welcome :)




Graphic Design is going to lead more into webpage layouts, product design, that sort of thing. It uses mostly Adobe Illustrator, not nearly as much Photoshop. I don't think that's what you want if you're looking to be a concept artist.
So this is a question I wish I would have had answered a lot earlier. Some colleges are specifically for art, and they have very specialized and specific programs set up already. For MOST universities, though, you'll want to pursue a Bachelor's in Art, and specialize in Illustration. This will give you a good path through art fundamentals (even if you're already a decent artist, this is a good idea) and give you a nice transition into digital work. You also have some freedom to choose classes that will help YOU in exactly what YOU want to pursue. For splash/concept artists, I would suggest anatomy classes, the higher-skill drawing classes, and get some painting in there.
HAVING SAID ALL THAT, college is optional. The most important things as a fresh high school graduate are these: 1) Practice. Practice doing the things you'd like to do as a job, and lots of studies
2) Get in touch with artists that do what you want to do. You're already doing that by contacting Kienan, but keep finding new artists and try to communicate with them. That support and direction network can lead to jobs in the future.
3) Practice. All the time. Split your time between studies and building a portfolio. You should have a completely different portfolio at least once per year. Don't worry if you don't have professional, fully-colored digital game splashes, just put your best work in there and put it out to the world.
Hope this helps
