Thank you! I really need something to make up for my lack of experience in the field and the fact that my drawing abilities aren't as great as people who have been doing this for their entire lives.

I'm going to try to pull the overly creative angle with my portfolio, and stress how ambitious and driven I am in my essay. I'd be so angry if anyone stole my ideas (since some of them are quite amazing, if I do say so myself), so I'm avoiding posting about them in any way.
