33, Married with a daughter about to turn 3, I own my condo. I moved around a lot as a kid and even in my 20's when I met my wife we would go where the wind blew us. But not so much any more. We would still pick up and move just not for a contract. There are a lot of great studios around me locally, big and small so I…
Ok so I was slack not doing a wip for my last character >.> Heres how he turned out, more shots over here with flats, 3D viewer etc. I've just finished painting up a concept for my next character, most likely some stuff will change as I translate it into 3D. I generally find my creative mind works better in 3D space than…
Looking pretty cool 9skulls, I'm very interested in seeing where this is headed. Voodoo+Mecha just sounds like a recipe for fun. I can't say I agree with GCMP tho. I think this is a great starting point. I believe one of the hardest and probably one of the most important lessons any noob (myself included) has to learn..is…
Your first Character, the manta ray and the Radio pop out to me as your best works. Are you trying to stay as a generalist? Honestly, it would probably do you good to find focus, characters or environments and props. It also depends what you are in 3D for, are you looking to get into the industry or are you just doing it…
I don't mind blogspot so much as you can do some creative things with the layout, but the point about digging through archives is completely valid and should be taken into consideration. I loathe WIX sites, the problem for me and perhaps a lot of other people is if you have a script blocker, you don't see anything at all.…
@Rai, how are your programmers doing with HSL? I've been diving into the wiki as much as I can. I'm amazed at how indepth they've taken this scripting engine. I also like the fact that I can extend HSL with my own C++ dlls. @DEElekgolo, the other guys are right. While at some point I will want to develop a game, right now…
Something also to consider; if you're open to positions other than art such as in IT or some other profession which doesn't require additional schooling, you can get a well paying job by studying for 1-2 certifications within a reasonable amount of time. This could potentially be better than going for environment art since…
I dont think so, I was here from the beginning working hard on my animation and still am. The idea for my animation started a long while ago even before the contest began. It was only a couple of seconds long but i thought of expanding it later. When the contest came about i was already thinking about extending it.The…
Couldn't they have named it a little more, well, creatively? I'm not a player since i have a addictive personality and low bank balance but that seems like handing a shit on a golden tray. Art is well done but the theme, the names? why? oh god why? If they were set on it they should have made hybrids of a panda and 'X'…
The dog is really awesome :) I had a quick question regarding the real-time asset presentation. Are you using anything special for that? It looks like KeyShot, but I could be completely wrong :) Also, I'd be very interested to hear about your creative process and your source(s) of inspiration. Some of the characters are…
