Like others have said, you are off to a good footing by posting here and being open about critique. Some resources to get into character art from the beginning: Learn anatomy. Step back from doing anything pertaining to creatures and non-humanoid studies/pieces, or at least do not make them a focus until you can grasp the…
So i've done a fair few models, usually with blueprints that are semi reliable, like for cars and such. but i've never really built a model from scratch using just perspective photos alone and i'm having some troubles figuring out the right pipeline. I've tried using perspective photos that are as close to orthographic…
Hi everyone, it's been a few months! I graduated in December, got hired at Traega Entertainment as an environment artist in January, and have been adjusting to the post-college life since then. It has been great being able to relax and play video games most of my free time, but I'm feeling ready to hunker-down and really…
@87roach Hey thanks for stopping by! :) Yeah the lantern is far from perfect and I was going to add more damages and such to the lantern, but my time-frame for my project hand in is slowly getting closer and I'm wanting to try and get some more meshes out. I'm quite worried about getting all of this in an engine and making…
To better show progression, I have a backlog of work I'd like to share. I'll start in chronological order! Male Torso Study One of my first sculpts in Zbrush was a study of muscles in the torso. The back is a bit rough, however, I will most likely not go back and touch it up since this is an older piece. Orc Lesson This is…
Lighting exercises again, losing my mind with refraction. I was getting tired so I sorta quitted on the second one, but I think I got the gist of it (in the first one the background is not mine). Work in progress of another screencap, two hours in. It looks messy but I think I know what I'm doing... for now :# Progress on…
Hey Orb and pior, I know its been a while but I just wanted to say thanks for the advice. I was able to get dynamesh to work well for me. I started making a lot of sub tools and found dynamesh was great for individual sub tools. Re-meshing then projecting worked great for maintaining the detail. (originally i had been…
Hey. I've not made any progress to update yet since I've been on a tiny break from 3d; I'll be back on the project tomorrow. But... I've kinda had an insight and I think it's worth telling you. Looking back at me starting this project near a month ago, I got into the project and I started making progress straight away,…
I'm no professional artist or anything yet but for me I think playing games keeps my imagination active and certainly keeps my ambition alive, I also find it good for inspiration but many other artists may get their inspiration from just taking a walk through the park and may have never played video games before. Playing…
Thanks guys. I've never actually played borderlands but I'll look up screen shots to see what you mean. To be honest there is really no true design for this guy. I'm just making it up as I learn new techniques. I do agree with the thing about symmetry as well. I plan to address that a little bit later when I have a better…
