Sketchbook: Scifix

Scifix

Hey guys! A friend of mine from school swears by this site and after looking around for a few weeks I am starting a sketchbook. I am currently self teaching game art. I do have a Bachelor's but I didn't like Graphic Design so I took a few semesters of 3D Animation at AI last year. Money was short so now I am teaching myself at home.

Please take a look at my work and tell me what you think. I am big fan of getting solid critique so don't be shy.

These are a few character pieces I practiced zbrush and max with





This picture is of my latest work in progress. Everything I have made so far is an incomplete mess so this is probably a good start.




And below is the concept I used(loosely). Props to that man Tuomas Korpi.

Here is a tank I am working on. Abrams. Anyway I got to a detail panel that looks more like a vent but I can't get the normals to work. I am still a bit of a n00b at doing normals.

Wow, cool looking vehucle on your first post man. And about that last thing you posted, the panel, it's looking a little wonky but perhaps it's just only the angle. And if the backside ain't showing, remove that face from the model else it's just taking up unnecesary space on the UV. It's going to be intresting to see how you unfold the UV for the tank, keep it up man!

Well it has been a long ass time but I am going to make a comeback. I'm going to start doing some serious game assets and I would like all the feedback you guys can give. Enough slacking on my part. Here is the first thing I am working on.

Concept(thanks Mr. Pavel Savchuk)

hi-poly wires so far


I am still trying to figure out what stuff should or should not be floating geometry. Maybe nowadays I should just export to Zbrush? All comments appreciated.
