Both digital and traditional require you to pay close attention to subtleties, and spend lots of time making observations, but traditional will require you to develop hand-eye skill, whereas even if you can't make a straight line you can get around that any number of ways with digital. I can't draw worth a crap. Not…
I usually have a favorite group of books that I pull out of my library and have them rotated once in awhile. These are the books I have fomenting on top my desk so far- The Art of Kung Fu Panda 1 and 2 ( worth it- ) KMYG art books ( the artist for No more Heroes ) Final Fantasy XI ( really nice environment art sketches )…
This are simple scenes. Lightmass can take up to 24 hrs to maybe more for very complex scenes. The worst are the light leaks, it's been frustrating especially dealing with it when the focus should be creating art. Some games are switching to dynamic because of this issue.

To be honest I am not sure I see lots of changing with AI introduction. The field of concept art and illustrations , book covers etc have become financially unsound for decades already, since digital age emerging . It's what I tried to do after art school and quickly figured out I will die of hunger if would be persistent…
well I had great time in rhodes. wonderful weather apart from the second day when we had a truly awesome thunderstorm we actually had marble sized hailstones. The town was without power for a few hours - quite bizarre really. sad thing was all the stray cats, some of them in a pitiful condition, starving and with various…
I would suggest rigging these up for animation, and doing a run cycle. This will expose issues with the topology, and make it easier to see what needs to be fixed. Topology for animation has specific needs, and this is best learned by doing, experimenting, and adjusting. Also we have some great resources here for animal…
