Re: Need Advice On Developing A Better Workflow
Hmm likeness apart, there are standard you need to set for yourself. Someone said an asset is never complete, in a sense that's true because as an artist you want to keep on polishing your work forever, making it better and better.

Most importantly it gets you thinking modularly which is a core skill to have, work… -
