Do what I'm doing.
Practicing. Trust me, I would Looove to be a part of the team, 2D or 3D or both, whatever. However i know that right now i am no where NEAR the uber 1337zorz skills that team has. So I am using the inspiration and amazoingness of the community and team to fuel my personnal development. Until I think I am good enough for an application (which wont be any time soon) I am going to take the advice that I get on my Art, 2D mostly from Karyuu, and 3D from various uber skilled 3D artists here, and use it.
Its good to know that people around the world will hep you and put up with your scrawlings when your not very good at somthing. I love the PS community for that, becuase apart from things just in game the people in general rock. Stick around and look at the standard of Art here and then build yourself from it.
