My name is Marcel Brake. I wont call myself a nerd, But their are other people who would, more then likely, and they are proably right. My interest since as long back as I can remember is always been video games, and all my other interest can really be branched back to that. First off I am not amazing at any one video game, I am sort ok at a bunch, but I dont play to be the best of the best I honest to god just play to have fun and relax. Boy, do I need to relax because I am a worryier it just who I am can't help it, I just worry day in and day out, all day, every day. I just worry and I think that why I love video games so much because when I play a game my worrys and concerns dissappear at least for a little while. So thats who I am in a nut shell. A gamer who games to relax mostly, but thats not all i am. Now I am 20 years old and going into video game programming in the fall, so you may ask yourself did he fail a grade or 2 or just take some time off. Neither, I was in school to be vet for a year and half until I finally releazed I really couldn't see myself doing it. That being said, you can see I havent wanted to be a game programmer my whole life it was just sort of the most logical thing when last winter/2007 I had to figure out what I was going to do with the rest my life if I was not going to being a vet. I say most logical because it really is. I love video games, so thats industry where i started looking for new possible jobs. Now I can't play any instruments because music is just not my thing so sound and music for games was out and game design had alot to do with english and from reading this you will have seen english is not my thing.It may be my native language but that doesnt mean I am good at it. So that just sort of left programmer and artist. Programmer was the winner hands down because math and physics have always been my thing and not so much art. After that I tried playing with c and c++ and I found it easy, so here i am 2 months away from doing what I feel is going to be the most fun job I will ever find and enjoy. So Now that just leaves one more question to anwser. Why the hell is this to be game programmer on deviant art telling me most of his life story??? Well to talk in riddles that really has to do with a man named mark crilley. On July 24 when there was nothing really happening or good to do, I did what I do when i get really bored. I go to youtube. I just sort of scan look for funny stuff, stand up mostly, check the videos of the day what not. On this day in history, however, after an hour scaning youtube the new funny videos were getting hard to find, so I though I flip through some different sections and I ended up in the "how to" section and stumbled on to a how to draw video by mark crilley. Now as I said drawing has never been my thing and if you look at my first drawings from the july 26 you will see that, but its always interested me, however I have always though of myself as REALLY bad, so I have never really drew anything. However after watching just one of mark crilley videos, I found them interesting, so i went to the first video he ever made and started watching them in order, I was bored. I found them very entertaining tho and soon, I found I had watched 26 of his 49 videos each one averaging 10 minutes other then the first couple, so needless to say thats alot of time spent and soon I found within me a want to draw, so I did. At first only for something to do just to see how good I could do, Then I wanted to draw because when I get into doing graphic in school drawing might be helpful, just a bit, but now I am doing it just to see how good I can get. Don't get me wrong tho I guess ultimatly it still just to help or at least aid my programming abilitys cause a good drawing for my games I will make in school would be better then a stick man drawing in theory. So there you have it "who I am" and "what I am doing here". So final thoughts are if you read this thank you for taking the time and sorry for any grammar mistakes, second please leave comments on how to improve if you wish just please nothing mean with no other point other then just to be mean. I am putting myself out here to get help not made fun of. Finally Thank you to mark crilley for inspiring me to draw and please everyone who can buy and read his books "miki falls" please do so, now all 4 in the series are out spring, summer, fall, and winter. I have read spring and have ordered the others great, please support so that he can do more how to draw videos.

Till Next Time,
Marcel Brake
