Experienced Stylized 2D/Concept Artist - Paid
Greetings! I'm Becca Hallstedt, an experienced concept and texture artist in Chicago. I interned at High Voltage Software as a 2D Artist before working at Netherrealm Studios as an Associate Concept Artist, but I've mostly switched into freelance. I specialize in stylized props, creatures, and environments, and I've been… -
Re: Calling all Chicago Greetooths!
Chicago is tough pickins right now at the moment. The only major studio hiring here off the bat for a level artist is NetherRealms (http://www.netherrealm.com/careers) but she would have to go through WB Corporate and that can be quite a process. Phosphor Games, High Voltage. Wideload (and the remnants of Robo) are still… -
Re: Mortal Kombat
I actually was just about to make a topic for this since I hadn't seen one yet either and thought I couldn't possibly be the only polycounter that picked it up. I'm loving it so far, there's so much to do. I've been playing it a ton since I got it and I haven't even scratched the surface. Netherrealm Studios really knocked… -
Re: Article: Games have a place in higher education, but where they are now isn’t working.
Yeah, absolutely, this is all bang-on! I'm the game student that the game design college programs want you to hear about-- I graduated from my program on the Dean's List, started an internship at an AAA 2 months after that (NetherRealm too!), then got a full-time offer from another AAA 3 months after it ended. However,… -
Re: Twin Sketchbook
After joining Netherealm Studios as a temporary associate artist I decided to start working on smaller projects in my spare time. Here is a sculpt for a Lizard soldier. This is just a Zbrush render, my final presentation will be done in Maya Vray. Please let me know if anything looks off. The concept was done by an artist… -
Looking to create someone's 2D concepts in 3D for free :)
I realized after struggling to come up with ideas for an environment, that concepting is not for me. I can come up with ideas but they never feel worth fleshing out - either I don't trust that the idea is good enough, I know that I won't be able to execute the way I want, or I know that the time it will take will make me… -
Re: About Mortal Kombat gore system
Which is really impressive to be honest. While there`s some trucks they probaboy have to re-adapt/recycle shaders, effects and animaitons to different characters, I wouldn't be surprised to know that they entirely recreated motions, made differents SFX and geometry to fit specific characters... They probably have some real… -
Re: Mortal Kombat: Dead Pool Remake
I work as a VFX artist here at Netherrealm, so I can certainly offer a lot of help on materials and particles. The biggest thing I see is the repetitiveness of the torch particle system. They all seem to die at the same height. Also the smoke seems very dense. Remember to utilize 'uniform' for your distribution on things… -
Re: LF Adults to help me frame what's going on in my career at the moment
Satoshi, What does it say to you, as frustrating as it sounds, I'm still 50/50 split between big and small studios (as archetypes) Because I see costs and pros for both, and I'm happy to dance with both partners in the ways they need to. I know adapting would be a big focus change, but part of me feels that, to be a good… -
Re: What should be in your portfolio?
I completely respect that sentiment and actually, for the most part, I do agree in the broader sense. I just really believe in working on the the style you are most passionate about. That work will align with MANY studios, not just one. If you are going for a painterly and stylized look because you want to work for…
