Re: Marcus Meler - Environment Art Portfolio
Hey there! I'm assuming you're a recent graduate as myself? I agree with these guys, you really need to sort that Portfolio out. Employee's will only look at your Portfolio maximum 30 seconds, and need to see as much as possible to say that they can take to you to art tests stage. I've linked my Portfolio, and this is what… -
Re: Starcraft inspired ship
Oh man, you would pick my favorite Starcraft unit to model! :poly121: From what I can see you're on the right track, but there are a few areas that really popped out at me when I compared the concept to your model.

Re: Sharing tips vs keeping tricks to yourself
