Re: art books
i have to agree with MoP on this one. hogarth is good for knowing what muscle goes where...but peeps that follow his books and his books only start reproducing it. if you choose to use his books heavily, just make sure you mix things up...try things...do some self-portraits...study multiple resources on the… -
Re: Zeitgeist (the movie)
Just saw the movie a few days ago, to me it seems like its a call for people to educate themselves. Its up to you whether you believe in what the things the movie portraits are true or not, just like its up to believe whatever you want to believe spiritually. Sooo maybe the entire movie is bull, but at least it makes you… -
Re: Rapper Realtime Character
Daz: - About skin color and variation ...dark skin tones (and other tones too...) something i have to learn to do right - same as blond hair... hard to make look real... have to practice more... - Especially portrait image skin looks somewhat saturated... - i used a lot more time into texturing than into modeling, and yet… -
Re: Knight Bust - Texture Practice
I feel like the impressionist one is too controlled in your strokes. I'd like to see some canvas 'grit' in it and some more imperfections in the stroke work. Right now it's all well blended, which is leaning me more towards an early Degas style, but your color palate tells me Monet. I personally would like to see it a bit… -
Re: ike's doter shenanigans
ask and ye shall receive. these ones aren't really contributing to the silhouette at the moment, gotta curve them out a bit. that's the 400 tri sword, i've got a few more with more decent quad distribution. the head in the portrait view's doing some weird stuff with the lighting, dunno if it's related to the placeholder… -

Re: Sketchbook: Yedp
Hello, been a while since i posted anything I've been a bit busy with work and personal life, just updating with a few things. Like always Critics are welcome! I had to do about 10 character sheets + vector portraits for Damage Report board game (Damage Report KickStarter Link). Here some sample: Some random concept art… -
Re: Generic Action Hero/Soldier Bust
don't rely just on looking at him either.. overlay your model at the correct angles onto photos of him. there will be some differences in perspective between your app and the camera but you can still go a long way towards the likeness that way imo, itll highlight a lot of problem areas when you flick between them edit:… -
Re: BIG Monitors
I have 2 of the 24" dell ultrasharp widescreens, 1920 x 1200 ones rotated to portrait mode when working on chars. I want to replace one with a cintiq, i fell in love when i stayed back late one night and pinched one of the concept artists cintiq and had some zbrushing fun.... he noticed some extra nerd butter on his touch… -
Re: HDR
The low light is great - plenty of IDO settings, or I can drop the shutter speed WAY down (down to a 30 second exposure). It has no hotshoe though, so I've only got the built in flash. A nice thing I did was setting an ultra fast shutter speed and enabling flash for an outdoor midday portrait. The speed was so fast no…
