My name is Laura and I am an Environment/Texture/Prop Artist. I am working on building up a good portfolio and I learn new techniques every day. Here are a couple of my latest works.. Let me know what you think. I am always open to suggestions.
Everything needs moar dirt! It looks good otherwise, but I suspect you're being shy about the process. Don't be! Things are dirty!
Ok, maybe not so much.
I'm thinking that you don't really need zBrush for these though. It really does help with the pallet, but if you were working on a game with a small team or by yourself you wouldn't even have to go that far with it. As for the mobile command pod, I think it could use more design work... right now it looks like an electrical transformer, and I have no idea of the scale of it just by looking at it. If you are just ready to be done with it and move on, perhaps create a specular map based slightly on your RGB scratches layer... no way it can be that shiny. Look around the internet for images of electrical transformers and old Army radios to see what I mean.
More Dirt! I didnt want to go too dirty to start.. but having done this 'dirty' version I kinda like it. I still left the 'clean' version up on my website as well as adding these new shots. I am, for the most part, happy with it. There are a couple of things that I added pretty last min and they look kind of plain... I may go back and tweek them later. For now Im going to move on to another piece of mine that I want to re-work and get it up on my site as soon as possible.
