I dont think you can do anything about it. The courses aren't there to turn you into a pro, I see it as a very expensive bit of motivation to force you to do something creative. The more you put in to it, the more rewarding the time spent will be. If you just follow what they say and hit all their criteria then you're…
Doing a bit more research it looks like one of the biggest drawbacks of a dSLR that shoots video(seemingly any dSLR that shoots video, except possibly the mirrorless ones, lumix etc) is that to do proper AF(through the lens AF) you have to have the mirror down, so you can AF before shooting, or you can use the contrast…
Well....I'm kinda in the industry, some days. I work for an animation company - which is part of a movie studio. We used to do traditional hand-drawn cartoons, and I moved up the ranks there to lead animator. Then we went 3d, and I became texture/concept artist/modeler. Then we got into games, and I added level designer (I…
*spoilers* Duh. I liked the movie. I thought Ledger's Joker was on par with Nicholson's classic Joker. 2 different moods so it's difficult to compare. But if personal preference were to take part, I'd pick Ledger's. But there were a few things that bugged me. The movie was way too long. It dragged on towards the end. And…
Personal opinion - your portfolio still needs a lot of cleanup and work as it is a bit over the place. So let's start with the job search and a look at the perspective from the studios. They want to know that you can deliver their style. While I am not following the stylized art style closely, I can't say that when I look…
If you play the part of art director you will get a result that will make you happier. Look at logos of companies similar to your own. Pick out the best ones and try and see what elements make them attractive to you. It doesn't matter if the logo is modern or old style, if you are a clothing company a retro look might just…
I totally get the feel now, yeah. I thought you were going for the mermaid-esque "beautiful geisha ghoul secretly attracts fools to her lair and devours the poor souls". Yakuza in their early days may not be the most eloquent,polite or smartest people so yeah, any "badass" tattoo should do then, as I remember they always…
This is a nice scene. It's got a clear palette, a balanced use of shapes & materials, and a cool 90's-horror vibe, overall. A few things to try: - Think about how things would animate. The floor lights could have a gradient running through them towards the door. In a still frame, you'd see the further light in each strip…
I also think its cool to have a "plus sized" character. It's definitely unique, and certainly a nice break from the norm of overly sexualized and unrealistically attractive characters we get here. This is definitely beautiful, yet still grounded in reality. However, something feels a little off to me. It feels like the…
^ yep. Also, depending on the color here are the different effects they have on kryptonians. I hope most if not all make an appareance in the next superman movie. Green- pain and kill in hours Red- random effects Gold- strips kryptonian powers White- kills all plant life Blue- kills Bizzaros Anti-Kryptonite- does the same…
