Heya folks, I'm flying to the US! I'll be landing in LA on the 18th, then I'm off to San Diego on the 21st-25th for SDCC. Anyone going to be there? The company has a room reserved at the Hard Rock Hotel just down the street from the convention center and I'm looking for roomies. ITINERARY Jul 18-20 - Sunnyvale, CA Jul…
Hey all, Threw together a quick little project over the past few days to feel out UE4 and get some modeling, baking, and shading practice. Back in my day of motocross and racing, this was my rear tire of choice; not that that has anything to do with the art haha. All feedback is appreciated! Reference image Started by…
Nothing about this concept really says Steampunk, it looks more like a college dorm room with some wallpaper. Take a look at some 18-19th century interior design, and mash it up with the usual steampunk aesthetic. A real easy thing to add is freizes along the top and paneled trim along the lower quarter of the walls. It…
I don't know. The whole undertone and barely restrained symbolism of trashing Ayn Rand was one of the high points for me. Oh don't get me wrong, I loved the gameplay, but what made it stick out was that depth. If this new team isnt really into this or exploring Rand or other 19th-20th century futurists hubris, it probably…
Took another pass over the characters, the floor and adding a lot more wear and grime where appropriate. I feel like my materials are 90-95% there. My submission deadline is Sept 16th so I will begin focusing more on lighting and compositing in photoshop. Hopefully I can begin to incorporate more of what @jStins pointed…
Beta's on at the moment, ends on the 12th I believe. I really like the environments especially the swamp; nice colour choices and great atmosphere. I like how Crytek are giving us old school type guns, but I wish they fired more than just plasma balls. Might pick it up upon release, might wait for a Steam version/sale; not…
Criticism is valid from everyone. I feel that the only way to improve as an artist is to constantly have your work scrutinized. Whether that's your mum telling you that your Naruto fanart is shit, right down to a kid in their bedroom telling the world that the environment you worked on in your 10th AAA game is crappy. I'd…
do what ever is needed to create the asset... if you like to learn something special do it from scratch... but dont waste your time with modeling hundred of heads from a box... i did that and still do... but it does not help to get an better artist... its just for fun... after the 10th head from a box/sphere you know how…
Hey guys! I just wanted to drop by and confirm that I am definitely entering. I have not given myself much time but I have been so busy with work over the last few months so this just how it has to be. WIP Pictures coming this evening (and hopefully every evening up until the 16th ) along with some sketchfab goodness. Well…
Hey guys, I'm afraid I have to come with some bad news. I checked the schedule and inbetween my job and other responsibilities there is no way I'll be able to finish the character in time for the 16th deadline - so I'm dropping out of the contest :( . This doesn't mean the end for Lawrence though; as I'm continuing work on…
