Quick note before post body: I guess this thread is going to end up being a blog, for lack of a better term. If this is frowned upon, I can discontinue it to save some bandwidth. Personally, I'm hoping for it to be a reminder/motivator for the time being. Ruz/Aesir: You guys are right. Honestly, I'm just not that familiar…
I will be creating an older version of "Scarface" from the Batman series for the Comicon Challenge 2010. This character always was one of my favorite villains as a kid, and I will enjoy modeling [them] quite a bit ;) I'm posting here to hopefully get the feedback I will need to be competitive. The general theme for my…

Hey everyone I am a 9th quarter student attending the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. Here I'll mostly post 2d/Digital Art with some 3d thrown into the mix. Here is some of my work, I have recently been doing silhouette drawings but I enjoy trying to dabble in all sorts of other art to. Thanks for taking a look and if you…

@DDuckworth and Ryswick yea I know I pointed out previously I saw those other two :) . I started this guy a long time ago (concept was done last summer), I just never got around to finishing it. After seeing that one and another central american inspired ish lizard, I decided i needed to post my progress :) Both that one…
John I know what you are saying about the hassle and the 3d stuff. I find when I do a 3d mock up I just get distracted, I mean I'm already modeling why not just finish the piece instead. :D That usually results in frustration, it just kills the quick creative vibe I had going. I find zbrush is nice to mess around with…
While we're somewhere near the subject of Unreal Engine 4, is there anyway to increase the shadow map cascades on dynamic shadows past 4? I don't really have any programmer or engine rendering background experience so I'm unsure how it works other than each additional cascade seems to increase the fidelity by two, but…
Caldria - Sorry, I think I misunderstood your first post - I suddenly realize that the 'blade things' don't really make any sense and are a result of me misinterpreting my shrimp reference. Haha thanks for pointing that out, I will definitely need to redesign the front legs to work xD Tenchi - I really like your idea for…
