Re: Motivation
I got thrown into the deep end right off the getgo in college... as an artist I trailed behind my classmates by FAR. They've had pencils in hand since they could hold them, and me who decided to try for 3d animation a year and a half before applying into college and never having drawn seriously before in my life.

Re: Creating a 'Scratches' Brush in PS
Scratches: New layer, play with the fill to get the effect desired, bevel and emboss down, 0 or 1 px width, blend mode to suit. Draw strokes with a single pixel hard brush with a grey color (not pencil) = instant scratches. Also scratches often don't need the bevel and emboss,but a single pixel brush does nicely for… -
Re: Soul Edge

Re: Should I go for a traditional arts degree?

Re: Do consider yourself a 'techhead' or an 'artist'?
Well, that's something I really have a problem with. While at my 3d school, a lot of peeps were telling me I was an "techie", meaning all I can do is execute stuff for them as they considered themselves as "artists". To me there's something that we should think more about...the computer or software is only the medium we're… -
