A few more thoughts. I still haven't tried any Hanvon digitizer based hardware and it looks like P-Active tablet monitors may use UC-Logic based tech. The OEM tablet monitors that UC-Logic sells on their homepage have a lower poll rate than their straight-tablets, though, so I haven't wanted to take a chance. It was a low…
Lovely article! Thanks for this! I have noticed, that in many studios, a lot of the character work is split between many artists of varying skillsets in a character team. In that sense there are junior "character artists" as internal roles focusing on character props/clothing etc who are tossed about during production…
Holy crap, laugh it up!! I have so much horrible old shit I could fill an entire thread with it!! This is literally a snippet of stuff through my progression, I'm that unlucky kind of artist that has to make a tonne of shit to get better... (sorry about the crudeness of how haphazardly these are thrown together) Then i…
That's exactly what we're doing for our clients. We're like an in-sourcer to them. We access their Engines, their Perforce, we do have daily art briefs and ongoing communication. Just as you would talk daily with your own in-sourcing studio you should talk with the outsourcer. If you treat your outsourcer as "fire and…
If you're going for the 2-3 piece super awesome portfolio approach, it'd make sense to polish as much as you can. On the other hand more portfolio pieces/freelance experience would allow you to sustain an interview convo longer if you don't believe you have that much to talk about with your current pieces. I guess the hard…

It will be harder to find somebody willing to stick around if you do something like offer them a revenue share or experience unless they are as passionate about the project as you…
Been looking for a new scene to tackle that wasn't too large of an undertaking. Absolutely love this concept, although I would personally change some things. I'm a little late to the party but I'm giving myself more than 4 weeks for this. (I work full time + overtime coming up pretty soon, not to mention my freelance work…
For hazardous I wouldn't mind adding something I have learned since finishing uni. I spent along time thinking I wasn't good enough (tbh I still think that, even though people tell me otherwise, I know I have alot to improve on) but I realized thinking like that was moot. I work my ass off everyday in my room getting…
Woops, bit of a gap there (some freelance work came up soon after I started the thread). Here's where the room is at by now, from work done in the last month or two; In the meantime I've learnt Substance Painter (currently used for the striped curtain and the bed to the left). I've made peace with the fact some aspects of…
