I only read this now, but thanks for sharing this, I was curious about what happened for some time (after your stream had been down for months) and here I found it. Your writing is really gripping. It's funny, because I've been watching all the Hobbit behind the scenes lately (which are great) and thought of you guys…
I particularly empathize with this article cause I dropped out of college as well. I had always liked drawing as a child but never saw it as anything more than a hobby. When I finished high school I didn't even consider starting a career based on it, it just didn't cross my mind, sounded too much of a dream job to be true.…
I was in the same boat many years ago... I quit 2 years in after landing a job doing what I was training for. It was fine, it was a job, I was laying out pages for print and web. I worked my way up to management and was making really good money, but it was kind of hollow. I never stopped tinkering with games and making art…
[ QUOTE ] Definitely useful to some I'm sure, If a little obvious to others I wouldn't call it a face 'texturing' tut so much as a photo sourcing one though.

Going to be working on a throne room built in a successful Dwarven Mining complex. Inspired by Lord of the rings/Hobbit and I want lots of stairs because stairs are cool!

I had long since forgotten about this, but now I'm pretty excited about it. It looks a bit hit-or-miss at the moment, but I've got high hopes. The art direction reminds me a bit of Fable or The Hobbit. Not necessarily a bad thing, but the overly exaggerated proportions aren't my cup of tea. I think we'll have to wait and…
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] what the matrix guys run out of ideas? [/ QUOTE ] I love the fact that the Warchowski brothers are such bad directors that they cannot even produce a movie that is ORIGINAL...old news, but needs to be revisited. [/ QUOTE ] Peter Jackson won an Oscar for directing The Return of the King, Francis Ford…
Hello, I am conducting research for my dissertation project and would like to ask you to help me with my task by completing my questionnaire. This questionnaire has been produced in order to gain current industry information on the process of character creation with the aim of creating an industry standard tutorial for…
We are small independent developer called Excalisoft and are currently working on a 2D MMORPG project (grown out of an hobby), though with our growing ambitions we find ourselves lacking hands in the art department. We are looking for an artist to help create assets/animations for our game on a regular basis so we can keep…
