Thanks for the crits dissaray! the hands are still quite rough as you pointed out i'll revise them after i've added all the blockouts for the bits n' pieces. here's another render of the gun that prob could use another pass too, but i'll prob. focus on the character first. edit: tried to find the concept artist who created…
@Poly_bob I've never heard of a company wanting a concept artist that can also do 3d The brief of a concept task might not require it, but being able to put together a quick 3d blockout once an overall design is well established is extremely useful if the client/production team requires tight orthos. That said, 3d is…
I like the creativity and direction you're taking this. Adventure land is definitely one of my favorite places in Disneyland because of the jungle/lush environment, it screams exploration and frontier. The composition from your shot here with your blockout looks great. For the foliage, I would create clumps of various…
Here are a few images of my town thus far. I do not have these stored on a website so i could only figure out how to add them as attachments. I am still early on in the project and can only work on this in my free time after work but I'm hoping to make steady progress. Town Blockout Attachment not found. Close up of…
DWalker, Thank you very much for the critique and these are all issues we will go back and address. You make a lot of valid points we will have fixed for the next time we will be presenting a video of this area. Because of time constraints we had to go from essentially a blockout to this in a single weekend right before…
Oniram: Thanks for taking the time to write that up! I'm going to go back and make some design changes based on your feedback. One of my weakest points is that I'm not a gun guy. Pouring over some diagrams should help me make some design decisions that are more functional. _DeadPixel_: I agree! I struggled with that a bit…
I never use ortho refs, and i doubt many others do either. Eye for proportion is one of the hardest things to learn, but try and build it by feeling, look back at what you did and if it matches up. Scale some stuff if needed, and make sure your blockout feels about right before you start adding any detail. Try to not be…
I had the luck to get to borrow a Cintiq a little while ago :) so I started doing this darksiders inspired horse to have something to work on while getting comfortable and figuring out the Cintiq. did a base horse blockout in zbrush and some concept paintovers, Im pretty sure im going to start working towards the direction…
Hmm I give your idea regarding the angling of the bridges and it does indeed look much better. I didn't stretch my terrain though, a simple relocation of the central rock made the angling possible. As for the bridges, they are in blockout phase, I haven't touched those yet. They will be made similar to the bridge here:…
I'm using tons of references too but sometimes when I want to do something that doesn't exist and I have references I get inspiration from I still run into "THIS SHAPE SUCKS" issue when I model it to a pretty detailed level. Basic blockout doesn't help sometimes. Well, I guess I was right, I must get a pretty clear image…
