just apply and see how they respond, in the end you will never know until you try. I think it always comes down to experience, something like a degree shows a certain devotion to the subject and experience more or less. Sadly many people I know that went to some kind of collage or did some kind of bachelor simply suck and…
i would take the advice above i would also add that if you want to work in a studio at some point. dont get into freelancing. i made the mistake of thinking getting experience through freelancing would help me get a studio gig. it actually did the opposite :( studios will not hire you for entry level junior rolls if you…
Bullshit alert - this was written by someone who doesn't actually know anything, at a time he probably shouldn't have written anything. The posts below are the most informative, but if you must read this one, just know that it doesn't necessarily reflect reality. -- TL/DR: Go to school and get a regular degree, because if…
i use youtube/pinterest (pin: shows where to find the artists usually & stuff i did not think to look for that can help) for stuff & perhaps things not thought of if you are going for "buildings" "environment", looking into how they are constructed will help before building. (eventually people add live-ables into their…
I think it might be the other way around. Of course I'm getting you. In my first post above I commended you for using a basemesh with edgeflow. What I'm trying to explain to you is that if you haven't captured the correct proportions/forms on a sub-10K mesh then it doesn't matter how many subdivs you add to render it out,…
No biggies on the comments, females be difficult yo! (for me) That is why i am learning the, how to's, probably should've done those studies before the dudes but well, as said in the threads i went to "heroic types". Anywho, i said i'd come back and have since this is a long trek of learning things i do not do or nor have…
@oXYnary I studied at a community college in the DC area and Corcoran School of Art for two years combined after that VFS in Canada. I have known people from mica, art institute, emily carr and a few other places I cant recall. I focused mainly on foundation in my first two years and that really saved me when I came to…
Hello everyone, I am starting my studies of digital sculpting, initially start with many studies of anatomy, but always with something "a little different". To start I tried to play around with the tool, just trying to have some fun. I started with a study of the bust likeness of a creature created by Jacob Corrick I quite…
The first few pieces on your portfolio are your weakest, I'd lose them as others have said. I can tell you after being on the hiring side of things what I wish I had put in my own portfolio now that I better understand what's required of a character artist. Would of probably been easier to break into the industry earlier…
Hi Diana! I really like your voodo character. If I have a critic, I recommend you to study your characters silhouette before adding details, the reading of the pose must be clear. Your voodo guy body is falling to the left and people won't know if he's floating or standing in one foot (I assume by the pressure of the foot…
