A personal capstone I’ve been planning out is creating Emond’s Field from the Wheel Of Time book series. It is a agriculture focused community where the main character begins his journey. The key elements are the Winespring, a river that begins at a natural rock aquifer in the centre of the city green, a timbered inn…
How long have you been using a tablet? Also, what size is it? You get used to it. After using them for a few years it feels very natural to me. You just have to get over the odd coordination from drawing on one surface while looking at the other. Maybe try using your tablet as your mouse for a while...so whenever your…
Looks very awesome, I don't mind the lack of textures, we can call it a Shiny style :P If it was me though, I would have tried to implement Sam Hatami's idea by using multiple directional lights, but then again I don't know anything about Dx11... But also try to add more contrast to lighting since it can really stand out…
its got the word Pad in the title, like a notepad or a sketchpad? most people use pads with a pen or pencil, using a pad with finger paints isnt very fun or useful. nice link jeffro! Interesting fact - apple now expects all apps to have an icon that is 1024 by 1024 pixels...thats an icon bigger than an ipad2 LOL! 3G…
I love seeing all the pencils work, I often feel like concept artists (myself included 100%) lose sight of the importance to traditional media to the efficiency of photoshop. Looking at the comments you make on your own work: we're always our own worst critic, but I think you're overly hard on yourself. Your work is…
Doing a 180 turn on the subject of the art test. I kept messaging Stoic on their Twitter account to get an affirmative about using Dalalond for the test, and they kept gaving a non-affirmative, but never a direct nay. I'm not going to risk it. Going to try to stay creative with the colors and "what heppened here" story in…
To be fair, it's a mix of both. With some things Blender is catching up, with others it is/was ahead of the industry. Since people can find areas that are lacking on their own :smile: here are some things in which Blender is keeping the pace or is/was ahead: *First in the industry with LSCM unwrapping (since 2004)…
Taking a break from space hipstah, re-doing the red-head. It's coming out tons better but I'm having issues with certain proportions of her face. And shading. And trying to get her to look like she's smirking. D: I'm going for a more comic-y style I guess; tried a realistic shading style and it looked really bad so I axed…
the rules of any animation are 1)antic 2)action and 3)conclusion The antic is where you add a sense of how the action is going to take place. look at any warner brothers or hana barbera cartoon, before they proceed with the action they charge up ( i.e fred flintstone before he runs) The action is what you've got already,…
Hahaha you are a gentlemen Seforin :) Funny thing is that I played Halo through all my years and drank a ton of beer, and skipped classes to go on a trip to Ohio state to watch the OSU/Michigan game. I also played Halo professionally (Mlg), until I just stopped with all the distractions and worked on my art. I do agree…
