following post contains movie and book spoilers sonic i'm not complaining cause of it being just cg, but mostly about them being super acrobatic and flying up walls and street lights, and moving like crack fueled spider men. when i wish they were more like the 28 day later infected, i mean pretty much exactly like them,…

I already posted this on Facepunch, not getting much help these so far, so I am just going to copy pasta here. "I am working on an SFM [only at the moment] project featuring fantasy character versions of the team. Note that this is not exactly Fem-Fortress, so I am not going to bother with making in game models (that means…
Hello all! So I'm doing my first tileable texture (brick wall) process through Maya --> zBrush --> Photoshop. So in Maya I made a base pattern on a square plane and made sure it tiles correctly in all directions before exporting over to zBrush. Yay! That works.

I think your heading towards the right direction. don't remove all your work. 4 entries is pretty low for a character artist. If you go on many good character artist portfolio sites, some have over 10 with different styles even. Even though your highest quality work should be shown over others, variety of styles and…
This is good advice. I myself am coming out a bit of a rut. There was a line from Austin Powers that really fits into this whole motivation spiral, a certain over weight villain said he "eats because he is unhappy and unhappy because he eats, its a vicious cycle". In many cases, especially for technical art, it becomes a…
