Re: Forever novice looking for suggestions/crits
+1 TwoListen The reason you are stuck on drawing cartoon characters is because the foundations are missing. Cartoons are the simplification/exaggeration of realism. You need to know it's there before you can take it away. It really is about how much you study, not just practice, because doing the same mistake over and over… -
Re: Dragon Breath (Sword)
Ok to answer your questions: Because this is a fantasy sword I felt I could bend some of the rules without actually breaking them to get the result I was after. I wanted to combine a stylised/semi realism feel to it, I understand that doesn't sound practical but its something I wanted to try to achieve because of my… -
Re: [CE3] Sci-fi Machine Room
A lot of work has obviously gone into this, but like others have said your pallet and your lighting model is so over the top that the viewer really has no focal point. Ideally good lighting should lead the player. Take this image for example, there are really only three things of importance (at least from what I see) to… -
Re: n88tr's art dump thread
n88tr, sorry in advance for being harsh, but you've been on this forum for 4yrs and posted over 1,000 times in what, General Discussion? FOUR years and you don't know -eye bleedingly- entry level basics? What exactly is your purpose on coming to this forum if not to gain knowledge as a game artist? All of this information… -
Re: Cool painting - Bad concept - What 3d artists are looking for in concept art
I'm going to post this again just becuase I keep seeing the assumption that line art is faster and some how quick. It really isn't. Not only does it take years of training and practice compared to photobashing but even the best line artist generate stuff very slowly compared to what a relatively new digital painter using… -
Re: Game Industry even worth it ?
As long as you put in the hours to make yourself improve I think its fine to have a social life or other hobbies as long as you can fit them in. As others have said once you get in you might not need to do personal work as often if you don't want to but that is up to each individual. If both people are in the industry and… -
Re: School is sucking the life out of me
So lemme get this right...you spent you summer(s) just wondering what to do? Even though you knew that you were highly in to the 3d realm. I think my situation is same as yours, except I am enforcing myself to get the software engineering degree as well as learn 3d stuff / practice them, and work on the weekend. If you… -
Re: Planar Headsculpt Critique - Beginning steps
It looks super neat! The surface smoothness adds a stylised effect while maintaining the recognisable face planes, although the pinch on the cheek and sternomastoid is a little too pinched. In regard to the eyes being sculpted open, It all depends on weather the character will be rigged. Half open eyes are best for… -
Re: How is it viewed over all? (downloading mesh and mixing it with yours to create something new?
I know that many sculptors use base mesh and then change it and not always create everything from scratch. Example. I am trying to sculpt based on Wei Wang Conecpt 2d picture. (have only front view image). And this is what i have atm (that is created by me looking at ref image and trying to sculpt based on image). And then… -
Re: Need specific advice on getting into the industry
Hi Yamsha, I think Kaktuzlime summed it up pretty great. One thought about doing portfolio work to get an indie job. I worked as a 3d artist doing hand painted stuff for the first 3 years of my career (I too wanted to become a concept artist doing sci fi stuff). It was pretty fun and working at small studios gave me a…
