Sounds like you need a tweak to your shadows, and to your ambient cube map. Shadowed areas shouldn’t be affected by the key light (sun), but should still be hit by ambient (cube map) and masked by specular occlusion. Some example screenshots would help here, in actual prototype game levels, not just single mesh shader…
The poses don't always have to match all the way through the pipeline. It might be more beneficial for artists to bend the arms in A pose and curl the fingers so they can be at the mid point of deformation like poopipe mentioned. But depending on the rigging system, that might be a nightmare to rig. I like to think of the…

You should update your portfolio aswell since you feature work from 2 years ago, the pokeball has very sharp edges for example. Other than that, look around the web to improve your skills! For a prop artist, I suggest looking into environment art and…
Hi everyone! I seem to have found the cause and the solution for this problem. For me this "bug" appears after I select certain brushes, namely BLUR brush, which obviously doesnt have any applicable material. Though to resolve this issue without restarting the program you simply should click on any other brush with a…
you can stencil things - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiQ_JLJKi0M but i tihnk you're already doing that I dont really understand what isn't working - is it that the pixelated version doesn't completely cover the un-pixelated version? if so can you show an example without the offset
