The ConceptArt.Org Scholarship Award for Entertainment Illustration- Jama Jurabaev

[Jason Manley]

Jama Jurabaev is a very talented artist here on ConceptArt.Org who has been learning in the community and working very hard to become a top environment artist. Jama is from Dushanbe, Tajikistan and TAD is going to be helping him to develop his character, creature, and intellectual property development skills, and reach into new genres. He has an excellent understanding of science fiction, environment composition, and is of stellar talent in these areas. Being a top entertainment design artist means more than that though, one must master all genre, all areas of character, creature, environment, matte painting, and world development. We are very fortunate at TAD to have such a highly talented artist as Jama joining us for this 30 month program.

Congratulations Jama. We are going to push you very hard. We expect to see you become one of the very best. We have no doubt you will take advantage of this opportunity to focus on your character, and creature development work, as well as narrative and unique personal point of view. All of this will be key to your future success. Striving for excellence in the figure and character work is going to be a huge challenge, and we have no doubt you are up for it.

Welcome to TAD. The best art students on earth are joining us. It is going to be one amazing school year. The entertainment design program has many students who could get jobs doing parts of production in games or film now. TAD is not here to make production wrists. TAD is here to help entertainment designers become world builders...the whole thing...not just parts. They will learn to tell stories, to design, to create universes that appeal to their own tastes and vision, and to the global entertainment market. Think of it this way...would you rather be penciler number 7 at some comic company or the Mike Mignola/Frank Miller type. The latter have had the freedom to create, they have had fame, and have had more than just a job to pay the bills. There is a difference. TAD teaches that difference.





















and a few smaller ones just because they are excellent!

[Vladimir Gasai]

You are one amazing artist Jama!
You deserve every single piece of this Scholarship well done!

Congratulations

[Ian Miles]

I will enroll onto the program the worst of the site. Current good artists deserve good tuition because they are already good? Whoa, now it makes sense.

And BTW, all this "Talented Guy" and "SuperCool School of us", sounds worst day by day. ¿Do you know that Guilds were abolided by 1800 and why, Jason?

[tehmeh]

The good and talented artist's should be rewarded for there hard work thats why they get a Scholarship.No one just became good out of the blue some became easier some became harder but they ALL gave a lot of sweat and blood to become good.

And yeah TAD is supercool!

[Majora]

[Pfir8ich]

CONGRATS JAMA! YOUR WORK IS REALLY IMPRESSIVE AND YOU REALLLLLY REALLY DESERVE IT!

[Brushcommander]

Well deserved (:

[Andantonius]

Man, the skill of the students attending TAD is insane. I might need to go shrivel up in a corner and practice silently for about thirty years before trying to stand up in their blinding light of awesomeness. xD

Astounding work, Jama! If I can survive it, I look forward to learning with you!

[Metal Fingers]

Congrats Jama, always dug your stuff, it will be a long journey.

[Jorge Gecov]

Congrats my friend!

[P D]

Very powerful art !

[Craz]

I think you're a great choice for a scholarship, Jama. You've got a lot of work ahead of you, but you show a huge amount of promise, especially in that third-to-last image. It's such a sure statement of atmosphere and mood.

[Jason Manley]

Ian,

I started as the worst student in my class. The very bottom. I had no high school degree and no experience whatsoever. Talent only goes so far...it is hard work that pays off. TAD is a merit based program and those who work hard get the rewards. Jama lives in a country where these opportunities are few and you living in the west provides you with far more opportunity. Jama chose to take art and make it his and we are going to help him with a scholarship because of it.

As for me...It took me three years to get my scholarship to Art Center, though I could not afford to go even then. TAD, even at full tuition is far more affordable than any of the other big Art programs here in the US.

As someone said to me years ago and changed my life..."if you want it whats stopping you...aint nothing between the pencil and the paper but air!".

Yes scholarships are still available for new applicants. We have a handful of folks who recently applied which are yet to be reviewed and will be in touch soon! Get your applications in if you are interested! There are half and quarter rides still available too.

[Jason Manley]

Oh...and regarding the skill level of the students. It is actually quite mixed. We have many beginners. Those who are beginners are surrounded by a great group of students and anyone who went to art school previously will tell you that they learn just as much from the best students sometimes as they do the teachers. Want to soar like an eagle, surround yourselves with eagles. That is how it is done.

[Peetaer]

Good job man! I aim to get into TAD myself one day. Rock that shit for all its worth man!!!

[Tetrodotoxin]

Spectacular...

I love how these scholarships threads give us the opportunity to follow new upcoming stars that are willing to work hard on their way to the top!

[The-Mentat]

Grats man! Love your sketchbook!

[BRINKMAN!]

Congrats Jama! Absolutely awesome work!
