Yeah, I got a PM from Marty that is simply titled "your folio" with the body stating "Oh my god."
Such critique, So brave.
Welp Dazz3r, regardless it looks as if you got some learning done from your art test and if you get some more polish on it, it could make a nice portfolio piece. As for Marty, I imagine this thread will go down as a history lesson on how to not treat people especially if you're trying to con- I mean entice free work.
edit - Ha, I didn't notice it but he actually went into one of my old threads just so he could tell me how bad my work is. This guy is going places.
''Avoid QANTM in particular, I approached them to set up a partnership between my games studio, and their school - where the top student graduates at the end of a course would get guaranteed employment at my company (we design action shooter titles for Xbox 360 using Unreal Engine 3) This was rejected, because the teachers feel intimidated and only care about their own self interests.''

You do not want your student to volunteer at my compagny? you must be selfish/intimidated
Thanks everyone for the feedback and for the kind comments regarding this piece. I may re-visit it later on but for the time being I'm cracking on with my Jackal Joe's environment. The thread is here http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=128050&highlight=jackal if anyone is interested in giving more crits, feedback. Truth be told, Marty has helped me get more feedback and coverage than I would normally get with this thread, even though that wasnt his intention.
and of course if anyone knows of any openings...please know I'm still job hunting

I think this guy tried to call my work which conserns me. I really hope he is IP banned. That's just pathetic. I got an email from an employee saying "Marty" called looking for me. I emailed her to see if a last name was left but I am pretty sure given the proximity of this thread time wise it's him.
This kid is incredible, just incredible really, First time I see someone with that attitude here, excelente job banning him really.
I feel sorry for you dazzer, still I think your scene looks nice and need some material tweaking. Keep it up mate, we are all on the same boat.
You guys just don`t get it
Marty seems to be the voice of a generation , a true artist unlike all of you haters, and you aint got the answers ,you aint got the answers!

I think there's a difference between being deluded and clinically insane.
The real question is, do we all agree on a time period to send him 10+ hate messages each?
Or better yet, do we all agree on a time period where we all apply for different positions at his company.
I'm curious to see how he'd react if 10-20 people all applied for different positions at his company at a single time. This could easily become the next polycount art contest, get hired by Marty!

Yeah, maybe we've been too harsh on the guy. I was thinking of giving him some free assets to compensate for his ban. Cmon, don't be so reluctant to lend a helping hand : )
Here is what I produced, I know you guys are gonna slaughter me for some glaring mistakes sooo....be gentle :P
Dazz3rI think the work you've produced so far is a solid effort. As the others have mentioned, you should now focus on polishing it up and perhaps put it aside as a portfolio piece. Great work!
I'm pretty shocked actually. I don't know what's worse, the fact that Marty Howe actually did work on Max Payne, or the fact that he actually used his real name to do all of this shit.
What are the chances that he just found a developer with the same name as him? lol
I want to thank Polycount and everyone on this thread (including Marty) for reducing me to tears of laughter, and for exposing a crook. Hopefully he will find it much harder, from now on, to exploit people.

Is that image he actually sent? I put it in google reverse image search:

THE PLOT THICKENS!!! :poly142:
Pretty hilarious that he was actually ringing people on here personally and at their workplaces.
This is the exact image he sent .

Marty appears to be the latter.

I even added my portfolio link to my profile because of email and phone number..
