you have potential as an artist, currently i would say that it is irrelevant. i'm not impressed by your work at all. there is no focus, no message/theme behind each piece. all your color schemes were virtually the same and there isn't much experimentation in pushing yourself to make yourself get better by varying the composition of style of the art.

i will only say you have potential as a designer after seeing some work that shows growth as an artist in style and color/technique range. the fundamentals of art and design have to be practiced before they can be fully understood. you seem to have an enjoyment for doing this type of work but you need more than that. you will not always get to do what you enjoy so you have to be flexible and able to produce the correct style for the job rather than trying to force your signature style to fit all jobs.

frankly mine and everyone else's opinion on your potential doesn't matter at all because it ultimately boils down to you having the determination to devote yourself to it. i see a lack of focus in the work you provided so that is why i say no. you can learn and practice so i wont say you have no buisness going to college for it or trying to get into the job market... on the contrary! i encourage you to work hard and prove me wrong in my evaluation so that you will be better equipped for the work that will await you. if you wanna be a designer you have a long way to go and i will be among the first to congradulate you if you make it.

don't take this personally. i would say the same to any and all aspiering designers, including myself! designers have to be well versed in all styles and eras of art as well as keeping up with the cutting edge trends in technology. it's possible to get by without this but to turely succed and prevail in any designing situation you have to strive for it. it's a life-long progress that requires a lot from you. that's why it's a career and not just a job or hobby.
