Hey guys! long time without posting! I've just completed my first personal project in months! A creature for Artstation's 'Beneath the Waves' challenge. It's the first Artstation challenge I participate in, the theme was too great to let it pass. You can check the full submission/wips here if you're…
So, the votes have been cast on our Beat-Em-Up environment art / level design challenge! Over 250 people voted, and while the competition was tough (fantastic work from all who entered), Vincent "ParoXum" Mayeur has rumbled to victory with 37% of the vote! His detailed and colourful environment really stands out as a…
Hey all, So Happy Star Wars day or May the Fourth Be With You or whatever's your Star Wars greeting of choice. Anyway, my friends and I have released this triangular pixel drawing app called TRIXEL. Basically, you get a hexagon composed of 726 triangles that you paint various colors. Good for pseudo 3d, surreal,…
As it stands this was the last 'BIG' piece I did over a year ago: I started working on the most recent Artstation Challenge (Wild West), but between work and moving across the country I haven't been able to find much time for it! Below is a texture I started working on for the challenge: Working on at least rounding out…
Hey guys, for the next 4/5 weeks I'm going to be working on the ArtStation challenge, so I'll be posting frequent updates there instead of here. I'll hopefully still keep this up as a general improvement thread, and I'll return back here after my ArtStation challenge submission is done. Check it out and please feel free to…

I'd challenge yourself to make a messy room (see image). Start with a lot of small props; yet aimed at eventually dropping them into an environment. For now focus on a…
Hi all! It's been a while since I used Polycount, but after joining an artstation challenge for the first time I realized that it can be such a great tool to get feedback and evolve as an artist with the community, especially when you're working alone towards a goal. So I thought I'd start posting updates here as I…
i understand the direction you are heading, i just don't see an issue. because in what way was limiting a character to 10k polies a better experience? You could also just see it as part of the challenge, pretty much like using 4k textures. If you don't have Photoshop okay well not every challenge is for everyone - thats…
Anyway, me and some schoolmates are doing an art group over Facebook where we challenge each other by taking turns giving weekly challenges. This week's challenge was to model a traffic light entirely in 3DS Max. This is the first time using the program so the process was slow and painful, but well worth it. I feel I'm…
