Re: Man I'm sometimes freaking the fuck out
My recommendation is to set yourself projects with the idea of practicing or learning something specific. Like as a character artist if I want to practice making hair for example I'll focus on a project based around that, or if I want to practice human anatomy I'll make a character that requires good knowledge of that.

Maintaining Texel Density Across Multiple Props - How To
The recent thread asking how to maintain texel density got me thinking, as many of the answers were needlessly complex or the opposite, i.e. just eyeball it.

Usually they rely on knowing something about the way the image was… -
Re: Looking for critique on my stylized material sculpting
I wasn't necessarily referring to the hammering (though pinching is a very good keyword) but that's probably my bad for not expressing it better. Basically, the lamp isn't one big chunk of metal, and while nicks and notches (like the one in your sword) and blunted bits might be found as well, it's much more likely to dent… -
