Hey polycount! I'm a character artist with EA Capital Games, making stuff like the following:

Thanks for taking a look! C&C appreciated.

I did an art test earlier this week. 48 hours to do a high fantasy building in the style of League of Legends. 700-800 triangles and a single hand painted 256 RGBA texture.



And here's the final texture:


I probably could have used my texture budget more wisely, but I think it came out well, all things considered.

The grass looks way to big! Did a great job with everything else though. I cant believe that's only 256x256 o.o

I would change the window colour to yellow, so it looks like there's a glow coming from the inside.

Thanks for the tips!

By grass did you mean the alpha cards near the building or the texture on the ground plane?

The ground wasn't part of the assignment, so I just found a painted grass texture and threw it on there, admittedly pretty sloppily.

I was really unsatisfied with where I left the texture on that house, so I went back and adjusted the UVs so the roof got a bit more attention. Here's the new texture at 512:



And applied to the model at 256:

Alright. Now that I've enjoyed some time being employed, I'm finally making a concerted effort to do some personal art. First up is an MP4. It's a bit of a staple.

Reference:


And for now I've just blocked in a couple shapes:


More coming soon!

noah_bench

@aaron2 Thanks!

And it's taken me 3 weeks to get back to it. Oh well. I took an hour or so tonight and blocked in some detail around the barrel.

Hey wow! I actually did some work two weeks in a row! A couple more hours and now we've got some rails.

aaron2

That's great noah...A night is very less for this kind of amazing work!
Must say!

KalebAylsworth

Badass dude! Nice to see you plugging away at this:)

noah_bench

Whew. Long time since I last posted any art, huh?

Let's kick things off with a bit of sculpting. First up, a Bith head. C&C appreciated

noah_bench

Did a bit more work on the bith


and I also dusted off a sculpt from 2012 and gave it some much needed love (and dynameshing)

I thought i'd try my hand at something tougher and make some dishonored fan art based on Lord Pendelton. I'm just starting to add some asymmetry.

noah_bench

Did a bit more this weekend.

Finally I'm starting to feel like it's coming together.
