This company is seeking people for team Thief 4. Awwww, I am dreaming about working at this game team from 2003 as a character artist..  However, I think that my art and english skills are too low for it. :( Why, why they started this project now ?!?
Who knows, what kind of program this company is using for modelling - max, maya or maybe a XSI? I am trying to learn one of these programs until they start Thief 5 or 6 all of these. programs
I'm so sad.

I agree with the others. Your art is awesome and if you want to have such a job, you SHOULD at least apply? After all, whats the worst that can happen. They say no? Well, so what? If they do, you will be no worse off than you are now and you can continue to work on your skills. But they MIGHT say yes too, and you'll have what you want. :) Trying certainly can't hurt - as long as you don't let the rejection (if it should happen) slow you down or stop you from improving. I say go for it! It'd be awesome to have a real thief fan on the team making the next one. (Not that I have a clue if there isn't already, but hey.) If I had any sort of the right skills I'd love to do it too. lol But I wouldn't even know where to start and I am -not- moving to Quebec, thanks. I like Alberta just fine. :D

Good luck!

There's no hurt to try it. I think you have impressive portfolio. Maybe you should make a new character with similar style as Thief after the DW is done. So you can show them that you can pull it off. I have faith in ya.

Tamara, make your wish come true. Your English is more than passable. I am guessing this is a division of Eidos in Montreal, Quebec, Canada? If so, there are plenty of people here that speak Russian and you would learn French or English here or maybe both likely more easily than those who grew up here speaking English. I agree with those who have already stated that you should just jump in and go for it. You have talent and programming as well as language can be learned. The worst thing that could happen is they say 'no' but at least they will see your interest and know you exist. I think you would have an excellent chance based on your artistic skill alone. Do not fear rejection as it is a learning process and you will never know if you could have if you do not try! I believe in you. You need to believe in your dream. Picture yourself working there and it WILL happen.

Your English is understandable but of course you could use improvement... but again your English is far better than my Russian so you are already one up on me and probably many others here. I wish you great success with all that you do. You are very talented and a wonderful person to know.

Surely you jest?! I say go for it and apply. :)
Your art is beautiful and your English is good enough (and will improve by itself during daily life - I can tell from my own experience).

So DO IT! Even if only you can say to yourself that you've tried. It's way better than letting go of a chance such as this. Once again, personal experience. ;)

Good luck!
