Re: Do you freelance or work at a studio?
I personally got quite lucky! I was working at a studio at the time and I knew that, 3 weeks later I would be giving my two week notice to my company and moving to another city. I had to find myself some freelance work and I wasn't too sure how, especially didn't want my company to know at that point. I just got kinda… -
Re: [Portfolio] Tricia Herbert, Environment Artist
I'm feeling conversational so I'll put in my 2c. Regarding your website: - Bigger thumbnails that show off more of the asset (First thing I noticed) - Contact info in each image (at the very least the beauty shot) - High poly models (This is a big deal) - Consistent presentation (mentioned already) - Scrap the 2D all… -
Re: Behance as a Portfolio
Mainly used by Graphist's although you will find the occasional big talent from Bioware or Blizzard on there. The biggest issue it currently has (like most other services) is that it doesn't have a unified picture system. You click on one set, but you can barely see the others, there is no simple way for someone to know… -
Re: Microsoft's Longhorn OS, now 'Vista', announced
It is not a 'nanny mentality' but a security necessarity... but I guess that are just fundamentally different concepts of how an OS should be designed. And configuration isn't really needed, everything is configurated automaticly more or less (concerning the hardware), and where it isn't there are graphical configuration… -
Specialising Art Skills
Firstly. Sorry for long post. Hope it aint too boring or pointless. Ok. I'm a "Jack of all trades, Master of None". Which has proven to be very handy, as I like being able to adapt to new skills and it also helps me get jobs having a wide variety of skill. But its always been my goal to specialise at some point. I've been… -
Re: Mime's Animation Sketchbook
Oh awesome! Love that you`re digging into animation as an enviro artist! These really are a great start! It shows you've got a good understanding of animation already, which is always a plus! Bounce 1: It's a little hard to crit with a flat texture like that. Without being able to see the spin, it seems like it's sliding… -
Re: Getting into the Game Industry (Inspiration of a different kind)
The early years: I've always liked video games but my dream was to work in the music industry and I (stubbornly) pursued it for many years. I eventually decided that I wanted to get into music production and engineering. More years were spent and I ended up as an intern, or better known as a "runner", for a local recording… -
Re: Monster Concepts!
Hey there, Nicko. I've been looking at these and I think it's a good start. A couple things come to mind, which I guess relate to one point- Your designs haven't convinced me these monsters are going to function well. 1. In 2007, Game Informer had a cover story where they interviewed the makers of Fallout 3. Something from… -
Re: Anyone work at Atari?
Yup, this is where I work. We are hiring temp work for the holiday rush. At the most it might last until Feb. Now for the bad news. (as if a short contract wasn't bad enough) I think they filled all the open slots already last week. I will check tomorrow. You might want to send me your resume "markd at atari.com" so I can… -
Re: recent portfolio fodder (NWS)
thanks for the comments, guys. i think i will stress my mechanical design work more prominently in my portfolio as it probably is my strongest work. i've got a whole lot more vehicle concepts from last year that i'm not able to show because they're under NDA. slipstream: thanks, the walking toilet concept was something i…
