If you have, or have already been, I'd really appreciate taking a look at the portfolio you submitted I'm considering applying to one mself in a year or so, and I've had a hard time finding examples of portfolios that have been accepted to a reasonably good art school. I know I'm nowhere near that level yet, but I'd love to have an example of the skills required to apply. I'm thinking of something maybe in character design, so digital and traditional examples of that would be awesome, but everything else is helpful too.
So if any of you can help, please comment or send me a note Thanks in advance!

I know I need to get a hell of a lot better, but I'm considering looking into a career as a game artist (concept artist, character animator, etc, haven't really chosen a specific area yet) and was wondering what I should practice in the year and a half. I'm halfway through grade 11, so I have some time to build a semi-decent portfolio to apply for a school.
I've spent the past week researching entry-level portfolios online, and other things that have to do with the necessary skill level in order to be at least considered for acceptance at some place like Vanarts or the Art Institute of Vancouver, but haven't had much luck. I'm going a bit insane >.<
Sooo...if anyone's willing to help me out? I'll buy you cookies! I would bake them, but you know...bad things happen when I go in the kitchen.

Questions...
How much do I need to improve in order to be considered adequate or amazing for application to an institute/college? (Please, be harsh)
What should I focus on? (Digital art, anatomy, color, etc.)
This is a stretch, but...has anyone had any particularly memorable experiences at a school in or around Vancouver, BC?

Llamas to all who comment! No, I am not above bribery.

Also, never buy 6 packs of tic tacs. The price actually comes out to $6.66. The girl behind the counter asked us to buy another box because it was a demonic number. Hehehehe.

We were setting up for a concert today after school, and we got bored, so we decided to wrap me in the sparkly shiny curtains. I LOOKED LIKE A SPARKLY MARSHMALLOW I was walking around in it, and the band teacher came over, and I smiled, and he just shook his head and walked away. Hehe.

BORED. BLAH.
