Re: "The Industry" and Art Tests.
I was given two art tests for the job I currently have. One for environment art, that was to model and texture a NY style apartment/rowhome/brownstone facade and some stuff around it to give it character, and another for concept art, which was to do orthos for a modern day/near future business man and a paramilitary guy.… -
Re: Portfolio Advice
Your portfolio does have a bit of 'Jack of all trades' vibe to it. It can be a lot of fun to create many different kinds of art, but to compete professionally in 3-5 art disciplines, be prepared to put 3-5 times as much time and effort to advance your skills. You mentioned that you are primarily looking for work as a… -

Re: Another portfolio site in need of critique
You need to do more with your normalmaps. Try your hand at some organic highpoly modeling. The statue would really benefit from better normals. Or you could do a beat-up highpoly version of the locker and redo your spec map (try some color in it, look at tinmans stuff) to see the technque in use. All of your work still… -
Re: Sketch Thread 2006
The diver woke up suddenly in this white, drole world after his plummet to death. Sitting up, he shrugged off the unbearable pain amassing in his joints. Pulling himself to his feet with a cracking noise, he glanced about. Nothing. Just white occupied this plain of existence. Was it heaven, was it hell? If this was truly… -
