Can't call Mass Effect 2 an RPG, it was so stripped down you can simply call it an Action Game. The Witcher 2 might be the best RPG since Planescape Torment simple as that.
I understand that bones require far more work with every new head, but don't we all agree that blendshapes seriously handicap facial animation opportunities, especially in games like Skyrim (oh god hideous)?
For me, it's not an "either or" situation where there must be only one king of the hill. IMO, the hill is big enough for multiple apps. Blender and Maya can trace their roots back nearly 30 years. Maya's dominance and foothold is really an issue of timing more than anything else. In Maya's case, it origins go as far back…
Came here to say this too, was surprised to see fan art of Annah make an appearance! She's an interesting character though, will be keen to see how this progresses! Since you haven't, you should definitely play Planescape: Torment :)

I'm pretty much in agreement with Warren M. on the state of 901 at launch. With both 701 and 801 I rarely had a crash if at all, so 901 came as a…

I really want to push my self this year. Too much have I been my own handicap. Everything else like getting a job will fall into place once I really start pushing myself as a artist
Your work is improving vastly from the stuff on your webpage! Great job. I would suggest using a next gen engine for showing off your work instead of max. It is severely handicapping your final art piece.
