Re: Concept Artist graduate - advice, critique, etc welcome

Re: I am the only one who notice the stagnation in 3d software development!
Exactly. There's so much attention to detail and micro-managing going on, it feels like our bodies are being overworked more than they should be. I was thinking to myself the other day, why was I able to take on so many projects around 2015-2016 but without actually feeling tired from doing it? Even when I was working a… -
Re: there's a new pope!
