"I have embarked on a journey of transformation in this Mentorship."
From the first call for a personal portfolio review, it was evident that this course was invaluable.
Together, we explored my strengths and weaknesses, facing fears head-on and devising strategies to overcome them. The course gave me the strength to develop my own pipeline, try new approaches and learn from mistakes without fear of failure.

"The critical feedback is honest, precise, and always geared towards improvement. This Mentorship conveys concepts in a simple and understandable manner."
Working with Raymond has been a collaborative and inspiring experience. His passion and attention to detail are contagious with his dedication to nurturing talent in every interaction. An exceptional mentor in every sense.

“I learned and improved many of the techniques I use in my work as an in-house concept artist. 3D, Overpaint, Composition and Design Principles."
I took the Mentorship after a warm recommendation--and I am so glad that I did. Raymond tailored the Mentorship exactly to my goals, something that a pre-planned class can't offer.
He used the skills and knowledge I already had and built on top of them, rather than prescribing his workflow and asking me to just follow. I grew through this and there are more doors open to me now.Philipp Höhnel
