Turn up the brightness of that sun a bit more, too dull considering the sun height and lack of clouds. The pillars holding the arch up are begging for details to have engravings on them or some sort of continuation of the trim around the arch. Get the colour of the grass, average it and use that as your landscape texture…
MrFido - Depends on your engine of choice? im relying on a couple of varied static meshes merged with some unity painted terrain. Heres the max viewport, with the concept and wires overlayed. The sphere aggravated me to much to try and blockout the actual shape. I really think the artist painted a nice landscape with…
do you think they need to though? console gamers seem more focused on the software, less so the hardware. judging by previous console launches it's safe to assume that initial performance expectations will be withered down, too. i would also be concerned with cost on the future xbox if the final specs are anywhere near…
So I changed the layout of the main section to a more natural look.. and I'm pretty happy with it compared to the previous (boring) version. The throne fits in much better now. Next up is experimenting with the hall itself, just like Carter said and adding a Landscape/Mesh for the underground. Lava Shader needs work and…
the girl wit the stick on the mountain. that harsh long straight line in the middle of the pic doesnt flow well.it distracts the eye too much and theres nothing to go from there. very contrasty angles of the slope/to the stick, to the angle of the character itself. for a landscape pic the way its cropped does suggest…
Even if automation takes all the jerbs away, there's nothing stopping you from making game art. The industry has always been passion driven, making money off doing what you love was the bonus part. Especially as we're quickly moving into a world where game production can be achieved by anyone in their bedrooms via free 3D…
Hmm, I was just playing around with that polar coordinate filter in PS and it seems to do that same effect I saw in Painter, cool thanks. But now that Im looking at it I guess I actually want to get a mirror ball image out of a regular or panoramic landscape image. My brain just lit up and I just got that mirror ball…
Ill take a shot at this question. For me, regardless of what characters I make or what other pieces I work on, environment art is in my opinion a league of its own. You're essentially creating a place from pure imagination, whether its a small town or a large landscape, and making it tangible. I can't think of many greater…
I think you're showing too much of the cave at the moment, your original concept had a lot more of the landscape and I think that told the story of someone returning home better. I'm not sure running water makes much sense when there's icicles everywhere. How has snow covered the inside of the cave? I can understand it…
I think you may want to let it flow naturally. Just let them draw and see what they come up with. Maybe show them some comic books and see if they like that, and if so then try and throw a bit more figure-drawing type of construction into it. Something How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way is pretty simple. Or maybe if they…
