I've a hearing impediment and if I recall correctly was diagnosed a while ago as tinnitus (constant ringing in the ears) actually come to think of it more prominent in the right ear. So along with a planned total system upgrade sometime in the new year, also thought it prudent too shop around for a pair high end aural…
By "military wear and tear" assume means throughout its service life? Because at the moment as someone that had trained for years with similar grade ordnance + manufactured using the same materials which from my experience, can't recall seeing anything close to the level of damage applied, especially to those metal…
I made the move to Laguna Niguel in South Orange County in 2004 to work for an arch viz company. I stayed at the same apartment the whole time and the rent started at $1025 per month and by the time I left 5 years later the rent was $1375 per month. I wasn't ready for getting my rent steadily increased, I was used to…
Thanks for the compliment Erik, it means a lot. I think somewhere in between. I don't want things to look like they just came out of the box and I also don't want him to look like he just walked out of a battle or can't afford new things!

Also did an article for 80 lvl on its construction: https://80.lv/articles/clinton-crumpler-closed-quaters-environmen-design/ Also talked a bit…
I've been getting back into texture work and am always interested in reading ANYTHING about HALO art. Even this old stuff! :) I noticed one of the screenshots, https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/polycount/halo4/m80a.jpg REALLY reminded me of DOOM 3 and I checked and sure enough Kenneth Scott was a senior art director on…
Hi It's that time of the year when students will be asking what sort of theme should they put into their portfolio. So I thought I would come here to ask you guys what sort of portfolio you would love to see, what should be avoided, what you would create if you had a year to do what you wanted? Personally for advice to…
The upper part of the scar looks pretty good so far. I think it kind of falls apart where it gets wider and the edges get lighter and less well-defined. I guess it also depends a lot on what the purpose of the scar is, in story-telling terms. What is it meant to convey about the character's backstory? Are they a duelist…
