@Ashervisalis Thanks man! You've done well yourself. For stylized stuff you treat it just like anything else really. Having everything hand painted with realish looking metal can look nice. Just depends on what you're going for. I'd go check out some stylized games you like or find some specific art you'd want to shoot for…
Of course it's worth learning. Whether you use it or not is whole another matter. You may ask next where to to use it. Well some people will say "for everything" and some "nahh photos all day!". What I can say from my little personal experience: 1. It's very nice for creating rocks, big stone structures (columns, big…
So let me just break up the games I play into two generic categories: gameplay games, and story games. Gameplay games, like RTS or Multiplayer FPS, I like whatever helps gameplay the most, and I strongly feel this involves some sort of stylization (whether that means TF2 style or Rome:Total War style, with bold and unique…

The idea behind this was to build a small, interior set that can be used in a game with a top-down perspective. The project itself is not finished yet, but I felt it was at an ideal state…
Scott: I absolutly agree that the main aim of most art, visual or otherwise, is communication. Even when done as a sort of cathartic release or therapy it's still about perhaps finding a way to communicate with yourself ( i know that sounds alittle touchy feely, but I'm of the opinion that theraputic stuff like diaries and…
We are looking for a talented sculptor, low poly modeler and hand painted/stylized texture artist. If you are an experienced freelancer and have a strong portfolio, please send me a message with some examples of your work.
Hi! This is my first time posting here, but I just wanted to see if I could get some feedback for my current environment project. The concept of this project is entirely original, mainly inspired by some places visited on holiday and environment art in Warhorse's Kingdom Come: Deliverance. The ultimate goal for this…
Hey guys, My dream is to create my own game with impressing environment which uses stylized/hand painted textures, cool animations and camera movement and a complex combat system. So I asked myself where should I start and I think the best is to learn modeling/sculpting and texturing first and later I can learn animation…
