For the next project my teacher allowed me to do a set of weapons that could be used as environmental props. The human model was just for size reference. My friend found it online and sent it to me. It's called max_for_maya or something. I started with an iron dagger. The references for it were extremely helpful, I think…
Hey Dibbz, I agree with James on all of the stuff he brought up. For me, the first (negative) thing I noticed was that all of the colors seemed pretty monotone. Don't get me wrong, I don't mean that per texture, but rather the color palette of the entire scene is a bit repetitive and doesn't really lead the viewers eye…
I think this is a valid style for enviro concept art. I see that you have atmospheric perspective going on. A pointer from me would be to check your color saturation. You have atmospheric perspective but color saturation, particularly for your foliage, looks the same as it recedes (heading to the background). I think,…
Pretty nice work congrats! I'm going to be a nit picky bastard, it looks like a lot but its a bunch of minor things to keep in mind. -The chair- * The materials don't seem to match. There is a disparity between the the back of the chair and the rest of it. * No grime, dirt, wear or AO on the rest of the chair except the…
Some thoughts here, a bit personal, so please read it only if you want to. Was 7 weeks of sweat and tears trying to make this happen, as I decided to design an environment on my own, and I'm certainly not that much of a good concept artist. On top of that, I wanted to show people that I can create the production level of…
So I have been meaning to start a sketchbook on here for ages, I have a bad… but good habit of starting a project and not being able to put it down until it’s over or I get a bit stumped or bored with it, I get entirely stuck into projects and never actually end up starting a thread… BUT THAT STOPS TODAY *confetti* I…
Watched it a couple of days back on iMax 3D. I originally cancelled my pre-order tickets after reading some reviews but decided to go on the day anyway. My expectations were really lowered after many critics panned it however I really enjoyed it, far FAR more then I thought I would. It definitely has issues and I was a bit…
You're making some really good progress. When I look at urban-decay-porn something that always jumps out at me is the volume of crap that ends up on the floor. Everything ends up on the floor and with no one to sweep it, no central air to blow it around, or even people to push it around with their movement, it piles up.…
Many thanks for the replies everyone. I'll be honest and say that I did hit a bit of a wall when I 'finished' the project. The original intention was to just model the Ramen Shop itself, the main attraction being all the individual props which would hopefully let me brush up on my texture skills since their geometry is…
@Sharvo Yeah, that sounds like what i am going for, i like the idea of having a torch attached to the players point of view (not sure how easy that is). i have till about the end of the month to get this done, so time is limited. I agree with there being something at the end like something coming up the well because…
