Hello there polycounters ! i've decided to leave my comfort zones and create this post I'm planing to post here my anatomy studies which i'll do as usual, with no time restrictions, and by doing speedsculpts, with various time restrictions, although i don't know if that's a good idea to do speedsculpt, if i want to improve…
Welcome back! I haven't seen you around here before, but I like your determination! Good luck! I believe sheer grit and determination are necessary to becoming a great artist. As for obstacles go... It always felt like an uphill battle getting into the industry. It was really tough, but you have to believe that if you…
Agree with points given by the others here. Just wanted to share my own experience since I was also in OP's situation when I was starting out back in 2016. I did all my learning through self-study since I came from an industry far away from digital entertainment. I was totally lacking direction at that time, didn't know…
It sounds like your parents would be okay supporting you while you learn the ropes for your career - I would cherish this and lean on your parents while you still can. There will come a time when you wish you could have more hours in the day just to learn and not have to work a job. Since you have that kind of freedom now…
Not even slightly bored of 3d art yet. But I do have other interests outside of 3d art and those have become more predominate in my life as apposed to college. In college it was do 3d all day and then all night! Even at Bungie I did 3d work all day and when I got home thats all I wanted to do. But now I have found I enjoy…
Talking from the situtation I'm in now, working full time as structural engineer and part-time freelancing, I can only say that it's been a very long road for me. Taking the leap into freelancing has been a life long journey for me, and the reason it didn't occur earlier, is that I understood quite early on that I never…
It would definitely be helpful to post a link to your portfolio in this thread. Otherwise I know there are many 3d art related discords where you can get portfolio reviews, I would suggest avoiding some of the larger ones since there is less of a chance of getting feedback due to multiple people requesting reviews…
I've been felling way too depressed for mad long, for only studying art from home all alone. I'll really push myself to share my work here every week, or even everyday maybe. LEt's see if we can build a nice community around here :) Here's a sketch I'm working on:
I think art tests are the most important thing to make an applicant do when applying for an artistic position. To many folios filled "bullshots" and work that isnt a proper representation of what that individual can actually do when following your studios guidelines and limits. Personal folio pieces are generally art done…
University is a great opportunity to spend time figuring this stuff out, well done for making an effort. I know what you mean about the process of making concept art, Im a 3d artist but I do get to concept occasionally at work. I like the variety! it is possible to get some variety at smaller more indie style studios.…
