Briefly put, how did you get to the position you're in? I'm going to college at Georgia Southern right now, and I want to be a game designer in general and a character designer in particular. I'd assume Aurora is helpful in a general sense, but do you have any other suggestions or suggestions on how to make myself better-suited for character design specifically?
If I see anyone online I'll pass this post to them. :p I live in Atlanta.
In terms of improvement, self-disciplined work aside, internships are really great. You've probably heard it a million times, but it's true. You get hands on experience in the professional environment without the commitment of a full-time job. This will also make finding a job post-grad much easier, as you now have some real-time experience underneath your belt. Riot has an internship program, you might can look into it for next year.
That aside, I'd recommend setting up a LinkedIn page. Most major companies are on there, and it's a great method for communication and for finding new opportunities as companies can directly post openings that they have (Riot does this as well).
Hope this helps a bit.
Irrelevant: I visited Georgia Southern a few years ago when deciding which college to attend, and the campus was really awesome.
