There is a big difference in junior artists in AAA-studios and smaller name ones. Junior in AAA is usually somewhat with a 80-90% skillset to work on their own at the level of the studio, but mainly lacks production experience. In smaller studios you can have juniors that are below that level, but in big name studios they…
Breaking hard edges instead of storing custom normal data makes it pretty much impossible to set up your hard edges and get a clean bake in programs like Xnormal, Max or Maya without extra setup involved. You're going to get gaps along those broken edges which = nasty seams in your normal map. There are ways around it, but…
Maybe I'm a bit sympathetic now that I'm part of the Evil Ampire, or I see them trying to improve, but layoffs aren't necessarily times for company bashing. There are times, such as the recent Lucas or Midway layoffs, where the action is another manifestation of deep-seated problems and does not address the issues. The…
Joseph mentioned I should try blocking stuff out, so I decided to do a B&W study tonight. Still hard to not think about what I think I see, but I'm working on it. So here it is without further blabbering. I'm going to try some cityscapes soon, been doing a lot of nature stuff, might do some perspective studies soon since…
Yep vig is right, you need to immerse yourself in hands until you get them right. The is no short cut to hands, they are the hardest and most intricate piece of anatomy on your body. For me I would start with the skeleton. Build, draw and study every bone in the hand, then study how all those bones are held together with…
For all of the pieces I've seen, you have really good base colors. But the material rendering isn't quite there. Don't get me wrong, there's great improvement since you first started. Doing some studies from realistic lighting references would help you a lot when transferring the study to the hand painted look. Keep at it.…

yeah i wasn't trying to say that he's wrong to have the pouch there. anatomically speaking it makes perfect sense. i was just pointing out that this particular human being doesn't have it, due to her unique physiology. so if you're doing a general anatomy study that's in the same pose... then fantastic. if you're doing a…
