Re: How do you balance work vs personal art vs family vs friends?
Work: 9 till 5. Do my 40 hrs. No crunch or overtime, ever! personal work: I try to do at least 30mins a day. Usually its speed sketches at lunchtime. I also do freelance work and I have an indie game in development. On average I probably do 2hrs a night. My girlfriend has an insatiable appetite for reading. So I usually… -
Re: Understanding averaged normals and ray projection/Who put waviness in my normal map?
I managed go get almost rid of this issue by just adding some support loops to the side of the wings to define the edges of the low poly. This is kind of strange to me, cause it's not altering the shape at all and as far as I have understood normal map baking it's about fireing raycasts between the high poly (cage) and the… -

Re: Seriously thinking about leaving the US
If you want a very unstable environment that might fall into the sea at any moment with shitty weather, go to New Zealand. But I kid. I spent nine months in Wellington, New Zealand working at Sidhe/Pikpok and it's a rather lovely place in spite of the gale force winds and occasional shaking. Quite a lot like Melbourne… -
Re: WoW / Cartoonish Textures
Learn to paint. They are less "cartoony" (solid colors and black outlines) and more impressionistic and painterly. I honestly think they are some of the hardest things to create in the industry if you don't have a traditional background. You really gotta be careful when you throw around the cartoon label, people tend to… -
Re: W.I.P - Female Head
As far as hair tips: I suggest trying to find an actual hairstyle, and sketch it out first. Working from 3d first tends to keep everything generic and what we remember of hair. It's best to have a real style in mind, then use 3d to emulate it best. Imagine what geometry with appropriate texture mapping would help you… -
Re: female character wip
Thanks for the updates garriola83 I appreciate it. I find it inspiring to see other peoples work, so keep at it even though uploading images is a process. I'm kind of noticing a trend where character WIP posts don't get very many critiques. I don't really understand why. It seems like you linked us the same full body image… -

I got my dream computer. Here's how that went bad for me
This is going to sound like I'm gloating, I'm sorry about that. I am not posting this to rub it in anyone's face, but to tell you about some of the pitfalls of "The Thing That Should Not Be". Uh...? Specks I guess. Yeah, wait no. So in April of 2024 my beloved gramma died at the age of 92, of not wanting to live any…
