Gumroad Tutorials List
polycounter lvl 19
EDIT (3/26/16): This thread got too long to properly edit. Also it was getting a bit unruly. So we've moved it to the Polycount Wiki:
http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Gumroad_Tutorial_List
Please keep posting new gumroads here, any sales you all have, etc. Just my advice but to use your name or company name. Listing a tutorial by X42dogg does not tell the buyer anything about you. That's just my 2 cents though. The list will get updated either way. Even for X42dogg.
There's a ton of great Artists doing gumroad tutorials these days. Here's a list to get started. Feel free to post others that you know of (Some of these fit into multiple categories. I'll do the best I can) and I'll add them.

I might throw my Intro to Blender Game Engine series on there as a freebie - see how it goes.
wow, thank you!
by the way nice tutorials!
No there currently is no search. That's why I started the thread.
Well, I follow certain artists on facebook,twitter, deviantart, tumblr, etc. and they are promoting their tutorials. Beyond the people specifically following the artists, then it's all word of mouth. I've seen some of my friends sharing links, and of course threads like this.
Some sort of 'front page' with featured tutorials and a search function would be pretty rad though.
Working on it
I just noticed u listed Kalen chock twice
Grabbed a few more and here are my impressions:

Composition 101
This is more of a lecture type video,he does some quick demo in the end illustrating the points he was discussing but its just a quick one and the meat of the video is more on theory and principles of composition.He used some of his works and some pictures as examples and sort of explains why and how those compositions work.
Its a pretty short one less than 50 mins but its a perfect video for beginners and intermediate artists who are having trouble approaching and coming up with strong compositions.

Thumbnailing with the custom shape tool
I really liked this one, a 1 hr30 min video demonstrating step by step how he use the shape tool for making quick thumbnail sketches.From making the actual shape to using them he does a pretty good job of showing how the workflow can be applied to doing fast and effective thumbnails.
I also Got Eytan Zana's Graphic Composition for Environment and In my opinion Kalen Chok does a better job with the actual instruction part.The videos themselves aren't sped up or timelapsed so you get to see his workflow raw in real time.Also compared to Eytan Zana's this one has less dead air and he pretty much talks and shares his thought process the whole time.So yeah in my book this is a steal at just 3$

Painting Fantasy style forest
I also enjoyed this one.The videos comes in 3 parts,each one focusing on certain area of the final artwork(Background,,Midground,Foreground).Instruction is also good on this one and its all in real time.
90%-95% of the artwork is made entirely from scratch and the other 5 or so % is by using photo overlays for texture and stuff.I recommend this one if you like this kind of stuff.
I could swear I saw somewhere in here a gumroad video where the author was using a Zbrush character/s-f helmet sculpt as a base for linework. Went through the entire list one by one and I cant find it now. Any ideas?
You might be thinking of https://gumroad.com/joepetersondesign :thumbup:
In this tutorial I wanted to show my preferred way of sculpting organic models using dynamesh as well to share with you some basic design principles that help to add variety and contrast. The tutorial is done in a similar fashion like my free sci-fi gun series on youtube - meaning it is packed with info, overlaid examples and demonstrations.

Updated the list.

Also (not sure where to ask this as I'm fairly new to polycount, but... ) why can't I see my own forum avatar? I uploaded one and it shows in my settings but not when I post...
in the User CP, "Edit Profile Picture" changes your picture the displays on your profile page, while "Edit Avatar" is your picture that appears in the forums
they're seperate things basically
Added Alex Negrea, Michael Yamada and Victoria Ying.
However, i think in it's current form it is way too long.
I'm thinking of maybe redoing it with a lower resolution sprite, as it is it is 3 hours 40, and it is a pretty slow laid back slog.
I cover everything from the basics of a pixelart line through explosions through animating a walk cycle. But i want your guys feedback, Who is even interested in this, and if you are would you prefer something more consise and focused, or something laid back and at speed with commentary?
That being said without having watched what you've already done. If the 3 hour 40 minutes is an unwatchable slog you might be better off redoing it. It'll probably go faster and be more focused as you'll already know the main points you want to touch on.
I'd probably check it out if/when you release it. I do like longer tutorials for putting on in the background as I work. Like a work buddy.
Thanks for the tips Spacey, I'm speeding up parts where i don't have much to say, like inbetweening, so that i can focus on the other parts. Most of this is definitely a lesson as opposed to just talking over making sprites, so the short version doesn't really make sense.
New one or old one, long or short I'd so get this!
Get that pixel art one up there Muzz! Sounds awesome. Makes me want to make a few tutorials now...

Can anyone whose watched any Zbrush gumroad tuts make recommendations?
I just finished Raf Grassetti's tuts and found them very helpful, so looking for similar quality tuts.
I did buy Dominic Qweks tutorials, which I'm gonna attempt Cthulhu sometime this week.

I knew pretty much nothing about the program and the video helped me see the potential of its toolset. The video itself is quite fast paced, but this is not a timelapse, which is a good thing. Everything is performed in realtime as he speaks, and the key transcripts are displayed on screen which makes it easy to recreate any action later. There are basically two ways to watch the video : either following step by step recreating every action ; or, writing down timestamps to go back to a specific part later. Both work well.
Jerry also seems like a great guy and was fun to listen to, so extra cookies points for that.
It's a + !
Go and immediately get Rafael Grassetti's turotials on Gumroad, they are AMAZING.
