Here's is the Love Potion which was based on a concept by Tanya Maksimuk from the Legend of King Arthur Challenge a while back. https://www.artstation.com/artwork/2x5wey I thought it was a really cool concept and I also thought it would be a good challenge for me to step out of my comfort zone.…
I see. Just checked,apparently there is not a new January challenge going... :( Maybe was because of all the recent holidays so maybe the January challenge is coming soon,anyway there is any way to receive a notification when it starts,or a thread here on polycount that keep track of all this events? :poly122: Because I…
Maybe consider dropping the "Monthly noob challenge 6" title from your opening portfolio page. This name is fine on the forum and gets the idea of the challenge across really well but you want to impress potential employers within seconds of opening your page. Also the shot of the scene looks really nice, putting "noob" on…
Awww man I know, at first i tried to do the hair with the fur feature in houdini, but I had some much trouble with that that I changed for solid hair. I should have tried to rig the hair with a jiggle bone but, well, ran out of time :) But I'm glad you liked it anyway. This challenge was really ... well ... challenging for…
Matthew, thank you very much. I have decided to take your and everyone elses advice and do the challenge.

As when I do the challenge I am going to approach my blocking out in a method similar to this overly ambitious environment…

But i want to share my process with you guys. I also hope for some and critics to push myself higher and higher to become a better artist :) I try to realize the…
Voting Concluded Jan 2015 concept piece will be. About last year, this time, we kicked-start the monthly noob challenge for characters. Can't believe it's been a year already. Feel free to post your thoughts about this in this thread, along with the votes and the concepts. (read: please please comments your thoughts) Do…
You could also participate in the bi-monthly environment art challenges. You can follow along with other people and pick their brains while working on different interpretations of the same concept art. Working with others can help with motivation and finding inspiration/direction.…
Dear lord you are getting good fast! Makes me want to take up this challenge myself. Maybe you can challenge yourself further yet at some point, and make 1 item a day for the purposes of creating a full scene in a room? I know you have basic scenes here, but a complex one will really polish an art portfolio :)
That's not true at all when it comes to learning 3d art. You will learn much more by taking something relatively simple and pushing it to a professional (or at least near-professional) level than you will trying and failing to do something grandiose. That go-kart scene would present plenty of new challenges. There's no…
