Oh hi Ruz - Would love to see more of your stuff too ! I can't speak for others but I can definitely share my perspective on this topic. As far as I am concerned there are a few factors that led me to posting less. Some obvious ones, and some not so obvious ... First off there are of course the very practical consequences…
WARNING: WALL OF TEXT The school I went to was a lot like what you described. The students are taught the basics of a software and the rest is up to them. Often the only way to get real critique or learn new skills was from other students or online. Most of what I have learned is from tutorials, trial and error, and…
I went from the game industry to archviz and in my first portfolio I took photos of existing places and made 3D versions of them, I didn't watch any tutorials or take any courses. Later, you'll discover that creating archviz from scratch is a different thing as you don't have the "cheat sheet" of a finished, polished…
I myself believe there are essentially 2 kinds of "art". One to express yourself, your creativity. Or "artistic art" I guess. And the other.. more like.. "the Art of recreation". Or what I like to call "practical art", stuff that has uses for something. Obviously there can be in betweens and most are. But when it comes to…
Off topic: why the new account and new thread instead of bumping/posting in the other with the new account? Back on topic: The model itself doesnt have any story elements and looking at it I really have no clue what is going on without any context. That being said, looks like some fun hard surface fun/practice with the…
Lately I find I have a strange preoccupation with rules. As a result of this I've become really indecisive and even apathetic when it comes to doing work. I mean, I've always been indecisive but it's amplified because I find myself thinking about "rules". For example, I've been trying to become better at drawing, like…
Thanks everybody for the crits, you truly showed me how much I suck and I need more practice :) I am fortunate and thankful to have your support /cheer. Baddcog: Thank you for your honesty, it takes guts. As for the tutorial- I only use one brush, basic round one with offcourse different oppacities. I know that I need to…
And isn't that feedback? That's pretty much one of the first things you learn, which is to never use something you didn't create or don't have permission to use for money. Honestly it's irrelevant if your work is extremely good or bad when you use something you don't have permission over when there's the possibility of…
Heya- this is a great start! It always puts a smile on my face to see other artists working to get into the hand-painted style. :) Something to think about when referring to Blizzard's style is figuring out exactly which game you really love the aesthetic of- Diablo has different features that WoW has different features…
I'd suggest stop saying you know your fundamentals. You can't "know" your fundementals, it's a constant uphill battle where there is always more to learn and you can always get better at it. You "know of" the fundamentals, and are currently are an early stage of improving at them. One common misconception people have is…
