hi recursive sweatpants! Like you I was a student and beginner before, my suggestion would be before jumping into creating creatures, demons, animals, and multi-appendaged people. Jump straight into studies. This was how I was taught and the advice I got from people who work in the game industry. Forget about technology…
I don't like using bridge mainly for 2 reasons, I feel like the tagging system is inefficient. 1. Example. Say you have Image A tagged as "character", then you exit adobe bridge. Later when you want to tag Image B, you need to find image A so the tag "character" shows up on the side. Unless you want to keep re-adding the…
Looking pretty good! just a few notes for your consideration before you jump into retopo: - Watch out for how you've sculpted the heels, you really might need more ref. They're attached strangely, and it looks a bit amateurish-- you drew them just fine so you probably just need to spend a bit more time down there. :) - Her…
When you are working from a concept that only gives you one perspective and limited information, its up to you to gather other references to fill in the information. in your first character you should have gathered reference images of rocks and their textures, of creatures with similar proportions or characteristics. his…
Hey, any time. Here's another link to take with you for good luck, can't believe I forgot it. https://www.pinterest.com/characterdesigh/ Hope you can update your site soon, that NDA stuff is a little inconvenient but I can relate. The card game gig seems like a pretty decent gig, right up your alley by the sounds of it. I…
Sounds a lot like the concept behind TF2's Soldier class. So what makes this design so much more solid than this one you've whipped up? Well, I'm almost certain that it's in part to the Soldier having a fleshed out concept before anyone did any modelling for him, as well as having a solid art direction to follow...…
I really hate to be harsh, especially since you're being so sincere, but this is basically it. I think your work could probably improve fairly fast if you really work at it, but right now I'd say your work isn't going to cut it for most places looking for dedicated concept artists. It's a competitive field and the bar is…
Firstly depending on where you work this may be considered NSFW. Naked Ladies abound! Hey, I was looking about for some half decent figure drawing refs and i found this site. www.characterdesigns.com They've posted a load of nicely lit photos of models in various poses and some really foreshortened angles. It ranges from…
I am not sure if I am posting in the right category so I am sorry in advance if this is not the case! A question I always asked myself actually is: is it illegal to download an entire website's picture database then share it (with proper credits) to have offline versions!? Before anyone attach me to a poll and set me on…
Hey ^^ I am not an absolute expert in anatomy, but maybe you could put the legs in a more natural way first to help you visualize better unless it's what your client wants. The neck is also too short for me (on the profile you can see it when compared to your reference). I also think that you should finish the base mesh…
