Sketchbook:Minoru Kawaguchi

So a bit about myself. Been learning this field for about 5 years now. Still have much to learn about workflows and proper disciplines. But one should start somewhere yes? I'm currently taking a diploma in games art at Nanyang Polytechnic in Singapore. Despite doing this for three years, i believe what i truly lack is the discipline of practise,

Now with the looming problem of getting a job in a few months,i realise my work is nowhere near what an actual standard should be. As such,i have started this thread in the hopes of me constantly updating it and self-improving myself.  For now,with all the busyness of portfolio showcase and the such,i'll try to post one new work per week as a starter. 

Let's hope for good things to come. 

Edit: I did get a job in the end,but i accept all relevant critiques.Fire away!

Here's work number one and in my opinion,the highest standard i can go now(seems like it's going to be a long long road).

Diorama based off a book called the Scarlet Plague by Jack London.
Done in Maya with DirectX11 shaders and textured with Photoshop.

So this is my latest work for the week. It's a puzzle platformer pc game for unity.Done in a two-man team.(1 programmer and 1 artist)

Still have long ways to go in terms of lighting,UVs and meshes. But it's nice to have somewhere to start from

Did this as a submission piece for a job.Though i didn't get the job in the end...
