I had fun sculpting and polypainted one of the ghost/thing/spirit/monster from the manga, Mieruko-chan, by the author Izumi Tomoki. I saw this spirit in chapter 14 and got the urge to sculpt it during my free time. The manga is good too. It starts as a simple fun premise about a girl who suddenly starts seeing spirits all…
Hey everyone, I was looking tequila work's new game: Rime. The artstyle is great and I was especially attracted to the trees in that game. I started doodeling away in maya but I couldn't get close enough for my liking. Does any of you art wizards know how I can achieve a similar effect? I love how soft the lighting looks…
First a little background: I am a student of communication design at the Faculty of Fine Arts in the University of Porto, Portugal. I am conducting a work regarding a marketing campaing for a new gaming console. I am performing a small research to understand what kind of experiences attract game users. I would sincerely…
So, since the thread about rotating normalmaps is attracting a fair few knowledgeable members, I thought I'd post about this thing I'd been thinking about: Often when I have to make changes to textures when the Normalmap, Spec and Diffuse have all been finished, I curse the fact that I can't clone-stamp multiple layers at…
I'm not saying this is the wisest method at all, but here's some data from my experience: Spent 10 weeks making an indie game in super niche market and published to steam with zero marketing. Game is of decent quality and has attractive graphics. Last about 5-30 hours depending on user. Released last summer, has earned…
You can still talk about your struggles, but keep it professional. No matter where. As an Artist, try to be professional everywhere you present your work. For example you can write a blog post about what you struggled most with. But then do a detailed breakdown of it and write an analysis of what you can do better next…
Hey, the suit is starting to look interesting. However, you might reconsider those shapes on her boots. Right now, they seem very impractical and prone to hamper her range of motion. Maybe mirror those arches and take away stuff from the inside. Right now, the upper body seems to be missing a similar silhouette breakup…
If I were to run that fanless cooler, then I would upgrade the rear fan for sure (rear fan is replaced with the H70). I did some measurements and I think it would fit with my normal profile memory. Here's a shot of in the case (mATX in a P180): Right now, it's at a cool 22c with ambient temps of 25c. That fanless might be…
Some extra thoughts I've had since posting: perhaps if you're going for an animalistic look you could attempt more unconventional animals (the praying mantis you did is great choice), bat imagery is common in demons but do we really perceive bats as lustful? Birds do a lot to attract mates, might be worth working something…
Yeah, it's a legal minefield and if you are serious about it you will need to draw up contracts and establish a relationship with the brands that you want to feature. If you are just doing a small game for fun you can roll the legal dice and hope that your game is so insignificant that it won't attract the attention of the…
