@SoulWind - I can't wait to see what happens! @Nefarius24 - Thank ya! @EmmanuelLawrence - Thanks! It definitely takes a lot of stress out of the whole process once you have it all down and in front of you. :) @Hannah - Thanks for subscribing! I'm pretty excited to work around the palette and see what I can come up with!…
This is lookin really ace but I think you might be missin the last 10% to push this into phenomenal territory. Texture wise what you have feels way to new and fresh. I know the concept doesnt have her looking battle worn, but what you have now feels like she just got it off the shelf from the store. The boots (Especially…
I've worked at 3 studios in the last 5 years. Apart from my first studio gig which I got into through work placement from my degree. The other 2 I got due to the fact I knew someone there. I still had to "jump through the normal hoops" of art tests, interviews, trial periods, etc. And the studios would never have hired me…
Definitely stressful to udnerstand that 12 hours doesn't equal 3 - 4 hours of modeling. It's good you're pushing to use that time still though. That being said, looking at your stuff right now, you're honestly in a good grey zone. It'll be frustrating because there's no clear line about "Am I good enough to get that first…
Try to be around the things you want to learn. Humans have a tendency to adapt. If you surround yourself with people you want to be like, you'll learn faster than if you stay locked out of the world you're trying to get into. This is something I learned about life, in general, and not just about this field of work. You're…
The shoes are awesome. I am loving the detail. The shoe laces towards the top look like the topology is intersecting in an odd way, but overall they look really good. They, as well as the purse, appear to have the most detail out everything else in the model so far. I would just caution you t keep consistency in mind when…
It helps if you use a neutral expression for the reference so you know which folds and muscles are exactly stressed. Soemthing tells me your nasiolabial fold is off. have you tried separating your hair into a different subtool to achieve a cleaner look? Also for the eyeballs. The outer edge of the eyes are not terminating…
You have to do what you love, stability be damned. if you hate getting up and going to work each morning, whats the point of doing it? In 2006 I left the industry for 2.5 yrs, working as a scripter on slot machine games. Why? Because the studio I was at was sinking. Worst time of my life. Leaving the studio I was at for…
Get used to learning... This industry changes so fast you will ALWAYS be learning something....Especially since a big chunk of the tools are proprietary tools you only learn onsite as you develop games. But, don't stress out--everyone has been in this boat, and its easy to feel overwhelmed. Look at what you would like to…
not bad. overall i like it but id agree with borod's image showing the wear from the fire selector. also the fine dDo-like crosshatch scratches on the metal just dont look very nice to me. its pretty minor but i think the scratches youve got on the gasblock read as more realistic than the ones randomly placed on the side…
