I agree with Mark with his last comment, and i also understand where you are coming from. So my advice to you is: 1) you can't talk to anyone about this until you don't take this personal and you feel offended, because if you do it'll turn ugly really bad, and trust me, no one likes a big drama at the office since they are…
Yep, Montreal. Thanks for the insider info sir-knight and everyone else, this information is very interesting. I'm realizing more and more just how much other factors can play outside of simply your portfolio, or even your interview. Just gotta put yourself out there and see what these hiring tendencies are. I should note…
Yay, a question I can actually help with. I started off learning how to do game art. I did some freelance work and I had a lot of fun. I picked up programming as a hobby, did some freelance work, and enjoyed it so much that I decided to major in it. It's certainly not for everyone. Even I am getting burned out on it…
well if its an rts I assume the units are rather small ? think of average pixel area your unit will take on the screen and what your "targeted" screenres is (like 1200x1k..) it makes no sense that your textures are much bigger than the number of pixels they normally use on the screen. and about graphics, I wouldnt worry so…

Get to know how to create characters and props and environments andd maybe some animation and FX stuff and so on. Challange yourself, be committed. If there is some competitions going on, try to participate, when…
Awesome comments guys, sorry for late reply! glottis8: Stoick is awesome! I`ve tried to bulk him out a little bit, but I`m not sure I wanna add much more clothing to him. I`ve added more hair though, and I think that helps getting him more in that direction. DDuckworth: The polycount is based on the numbers from the newest…
I think you're on the right track- this is the design process, and sometimes it sucks. It sorta gets easier with experience. Your piece is coming along and your idea to spin it as 'crudely made by wannabe hero' is a good one. Two Listen has a soild conceptual critique there, so i'll stick to painting. 1- draw from the…
Unless you feel like you absolutely need the expensive pass since there's some talk or another that looks amazing and highly relevant to what you do, just get the cheap one. The ability to go and listen to talks is nice, but it's not ultimately the most valuable thing you'll get out of going to GDC if you're looking for a…
^ +whatever number we are at now. I agree with all of this. Don't ever second guess where you are now as luck. We are all where we are by chance, luck, being in the right place at the right time, etc etc. if you want to put it like that. Everything about my career so far has been right place at the right time and making…
