I documented my molding/casting adventure with the mini chimera - https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.428778527332392.1073741837.186570281553219&type=3 And now I have some up for sale! http://crystelschimeras.com/ I've also made the decision with level52 studios to limit the gargoyle to 15 copies. The mold has been…
Could you post some references of the style you are trying to create, or something similar? It's hard to give good qualitative feedback if we don't know the direction or style you are trying to achieve. Things to include are: Is this for game, or realistic render? Your texture style; Are you going for hand painted like…
Thank you all once again for such an overwhelmingly positive response. Kinda makes it all feel worth it. ;D mr_ace: As a matter of fact there was actually a port of UMK3 released on iOS recently that replaced all of the sprites with low poly 3D models. I haven't had a chance to see it with my own eyes, but I'd love to see…
It is overwhelming. And I can give you tons of different advice and comments, but the only advice I wish someone gave me at the start of my concept art adventure was; be faithful to yourself ~ it sounds really philosophical but it's quite simple. Before this I did a ton of art when I was younger, mostly photo manipulation…
Sweet i'll check this out. Is there any sort of top ten list for all the 300 games? It'd be nice to know which ones are "must plays", I probably wont try all 300, though space racist i'm playing out of morbid curiosity. Just bought this indie bundle today: http://www.indieroyale.com/ Deserves its own post but since there's…
The biggest impact artists make on the world (in my opinion) is inspiring other people. Art is necessary in the modern gaming world and thanks to gaming, I've obtained so many great memories. Some of the people I talk to the most are people I've met playing Counter-Strike online 10 years ago. I know plenty of people who…
A very nice executed cinematic. Nicely choreographed work on the bridges. Though, all these MMO cinematics... I just feel like they're false advertising to be honest. The actual game never plays like this. Take, for example, a party moving through the dungeon. The camera is low like we see with a lot of 3rd person single…
It's been quite a while since my last post, but I guess better late than never... Finally my small pirate ship made it into UDK and I started playing around with the lights. I'm sure there are plenty of great tutorials about baking shadows in Unreal out there, but if anybody feels kind enough to save me some searching…
I figured why it does that. At some point, I have accidentally unbound attack from Mouse1 and because you use the attack button as the menu trigger, menu didn't work. Wouldn't it be better if you just showed the item along side the text? Like text above and big compass rotating underneath it or something. I was so sure I…
Apophis3d : Thank you, its quite funny how much things have progressed with my work over the past three or so years in terms of breaking out of that monochrome look that I used to get stuck into. These days I try to keep things varied in terms of textures and nailing a more interesting color palette than the less…
