HendrikN : Thanks man ! I`ll upload some images for you, gimme a sec. Chiniara : haha, thanks for the words Fillippe! You better start to post something too! Stromberg90 : Hey Stromberg90, I`m glad you like it ! I got some references from Borderlands / Darksiders / Mass Effect... It was quite dificult to mix the elements…
so we got a new comic on Spiffy Chaps [let me know what you guys think] crits like u guys provide helps us - too many ppl just saying 'gj' cuz we're their friends. @MoP: cyanide and happiness is usually considered the creator of that style, but i guess its just 'stick men' isnt it? we're still experimenting with styles, so…
One thing nobody has mentioned here which i find really strange is that not to get too hell bent on getting a job purely as a game artist. If your really that keen to be a 3D Artist you can do things outside games.... Architecture (lots of money to be made there doing pre-visulization), You can work in 3D cartoons/ movies.…
@Daedalius: read a couple posts up :P (to be fair I "impulse post" quite a bit myself :P) Its certainly an interesting piece. Sooo many odd things going on. Id say this piece strength is how strange and unusual it is. I hope thats what you were going for. Some big things I`d work on is how believable your masses are. Right…
Solid start! I'm specifically saying this is a solid start because it doesn't look done. Initially, it's good that you seem to have a concept that you're working towards, even if you "slipped" into it, but right now, I think there's a ton more you can do to make this looke like a primitive sentient being than what it is…

Over the next few months, I would like to touch on the essential parts of these sectors to help me decide. This's what I'm currently thinking:…
The true wording of copyright laws can be vague, however this is a fairly clear cut case of illegal distribution. You do NOT need to generate income in order to break copyright law. Downloading/Exporting a file in order to fiddle around with in Max or Maya is completely legal, as it could easily be explained as "for use in…
1 - The argument is that these kind of pieces (black men as thugs, asian men as Yakuza, women with scratches as 'abused' women, should be avoided because you "don't know who you'll offend". What are the chances that a person will be offended by an asian being portrayed as Yakuza? Almost none. Maybe sub %.05 of people would…
When i create buildings at work its really important to first establish your goals. - Whats this building for? - Will it be seen close up? - Whats your texture budget and polycount? - What sort of style is it, cartoon, realism, styalised? Theres tonnes of questions you need to ask yourself. These are just a few. Once you…
Scott: I absolutly agree that the main aim of most art, visual or otherwise, is communication. Even when done as a sort of cathartic release or therapy it's still about perhaps finding a way to communicate with yourself ( i know that sounds alittle touchy feely, but I'm of the opinion that theraputic stuff like diaries and…
