I was where you are 6 years ago. Read this forum maniacally and practice your ass off. Treat it like a matter of survival (it is if you intend to feed yourself with your career). Start identifying what your weaknesses in your skillsets and your knowledge are, and attack those weaknesses. Fundamentals, tool knowledge or…
Not to beat a dead horse, but it sounds like all you're looking for is approval from SOMEONE. And the second someone approves of your decision, you'll just listen to that ONE person on everything they say, despite an entire thread of people telling you its the WRONG decision. Oh well, Goodluck. I hope moving to California…
I think that the questions dejawolf has asked here are important, even for fantasy/future/whimsy projects. I know I have done my best work when I've taken to time to find reasons for being for everything that's present. An extra dose of practicality never hurts, whether you've got a character or a vehicle or architecture.…
The masters degree requires an undergrad degree and a relatively high GPA. GRE not required. Each of the disciplines has it's own entrance requirements. An artist has to show a portfolio and a sketchbook. Students still focus on one discipline, but its possible to take a more academic approach to the study as opposed to a…

I've watched some tutorials and now I try to do some practices in 2d first but then when i try to do it in 3d i'm still not sure how to do it. Do you guys practices until you are really good at 2d…
Hi, I've not much to show yet, I created this primarily as a sort of kick in the butt to help get me motivated and keep me disciplined. I would love any feedback any of you could offer. Here we go. The first is a WIP sci-fi buggy thing that was built off of an existing concept I found. The second is just some perspective…

Make your own base meshes. If you base mesh isn't up to par with others that you find online or come with zBrush - then you should practice making more until yours are as good.
