Re: Online Identities Versus Real Life: Why Employers should/cannot ask for the other.
Messed up. I actually got on someones wrong side earlier this year and didn't get the freelance job when I didn't profess undying love for Obama. The guy wanting to hire me was from Hawaii now living in CA I guess. I can only speculate as I can't confirm that was the reason but he was really nice initially. Then his… -
Re: How has your Life Changed in the Past Decade?
Here we go then: - Lived in Kyoto for a year - Graduated university with a degree in Japanese and THEN decided I wanted to work as a videogame artist (erk!) - Moved back in with my parents for a year and taught myself 3ds Max and Photoshop - Went travelling around SE Asia with my girlfriend (now wife) - Managed to get a… -
Re: [Portfolio] Sean "NyneDown" Smith, Character Artist
Man...thanks so much for the great feedback so far =) Ben - glad you took the time to point out all those things! haha. I agree with ya on all of your crits...there are things I could be doing to push my pieces a bit further to really sell them. I'll look into making those changes to my site also. Hope things are back to… -
Re: How awesome is your dad?
My dad's pretty amazing. He's 65 in a few weeks. He took up windsurfing in his late 40s, and a couple of years back was windsurfing some of the best surf Hawaii has to offer with top wave-jumpers and surfers a third of his age. He's a wonderful underwater photographer, and keen skier, and a veteran diver. He's always been… -
Re: [UE4][VR] An Open World Race Game
Hey, Worked on the island a lot more. I'm much happier with the result than previously, still some tweaks to do but maybe I'll wait to see how it looks in UE4. Water is a paintover for the moment As for the pod, I tried a more detailled sketch, mainly based on silhouette 12. There are still only the major shapes, when I'll… -
Re: Types of Work for Polymodelers?
@Lamont: One job I almost got was to recreate a CAD mansion some architect company had made up. They wanted a physical model to show their client which would have been printed out. Poly modeling would've been fine as it didn't have to be hyper accurate. Not sure what happened here my quote wasn't too high, maybe the… -
Re: Dyslexic men make great Artists
I am dyslexic as well and I have always excelled in my art classes over classes that involved reading. My father is the same way only he somehow overcomes it with being an engineer where there is a high amount of reading involved, more power to him. I Recall a fun story about a history class I attended ( while i thought i… -
Re: [UE4] Middle Eastern Town Environment
Peter makes valid points, but I'm not sure how much of a real change you will make by berating some random artist (not meant to be derogatory towards OP, just big perspective) who is just trying to make some cool art that is derivative of other things they've seen and liked. I'd look for ways to be more influential, and in… -
Re: Rawk - Post any rocks you make here!
@Jonas Ronnegard : Another pretty solid rock, good job ! :) There is still something you could improve : the way you put your rocks together. Every single rock you make is perfect, but when it comes to rendering you just put them randomly to form a big shape, and it looks pretty unatural. I think it's too bad you don't… -
Re: Green with envy
'Nother update for you folks. Headers are back and re-coated, and I'm picking up the new power steering gear from the powdercoating shop tomorrow. I was supposed to pick it up over the weekend, and my timing was uncanny; the guys working over the weekend were literally about to walk it into the oven to cook on the paint,…
