Hi! I thought to make this thread to discuss what to include in a portfolio presentation and how much is needed to start applying to job opportunities. I've noticed a lot of variation in portfolio content and presentation and have collected a few examples of artist portfolios at various levels. To start here is my…
I've been doing coloring and background art for a Adult Visual Novel for the past year, it pays well and I really enjoy working on it. Eventually they asked what I would like to be called on the credits, if I had an Alias or not. And then I realized I never considered that at all. The other artist on the project has to use…
For some creative efforts, you pretty much have to go there. Reading a novel or comic source ahead of time can definitely skew your reception of their cinematic interpretation. I'll even offer my own personal example. A lot of people I know like the movie Starship Troppers. It is obviously a bit campy, but the action is…

I feel like a possible approach could probably be : Epic releases the core canvas for the game, with well defined movement, shooting mechanics and gun types (probably traced over the UDK game demo, with a hint of ut2k3).

Renaming my thread. The original thread didn't follow the conventional naming way. Here's what I posted a few weeks ago. And here's an update this week.

>The front page isn't to make anyone "special" its just to show some good content >Articles do come up (tournament announcements, tragedies, etc). I've seen around 3 art dumps within a month's period. But the only reason why its not showing up more, is because those threads don't come up often. In my opinion, discussions…
Earlier this year I decided that I wanted to learn how to make maps and models for the great Team Fortress 2. I'm still getting te hang of it and I learn as I go, but this is where I got so far: There is quite a bit of custom content on this one. Here are a few images of some of the models used on the map (the trees and…
In my personal opinion, it's not funny. The art = terrible The writing = terrible The strip = terrible + terrible = terrible. I enjoy comics that use a simplistic visual style, when the writing is exceptionally clever. http://xkcd.com/ On the flip side, I enjoy well developed artistic style even if the strip must often be…
