1. When I leave FIEA I want to be an environment artist.
2. I want to be in an AAA studio as an environment artist.
3. I want to emphasize on lighting and learn about it.
4. I would like to do more of an interior/architectural (involving hard modelling) environment art.
5. Look into Concepts & Modularity. Look into trim sheets. Start looking into general architectural standards (sizes of doors, walls).
