Well, everyone loves being creative. I don't mean to say those are the only people who would enjoy it, just that it is a way for anyone who isn't a modeler to really work their creative juices and make a digital character. But you also get the benefits of being able to use the character in the game, which is great. But the…
My excuse is I'm working towards getting myself in the position to be creative again. My current circumstances are not conductive to me wanting to create. For several years I nearly lost ALL of my motivation for art and only recently its been a driving force again. For me not having a physical space in which to make art,…
Your drawing and painting looks really strong, I would try to find a way to make that very clear on your portfolio first and foremost. I agree with almighty_gir about making 2 more character pieces. Your first character mushroom guy, is cool but I feel a little too creative honestly. I also feel that your wow type guy is a…
If you have the choice between Zbrush and Mudbox, choose Zbrush. Zbrush has a steeper learning curve than Mudbox but its overall package greatly streamlines the creative process.

Same for racing games. X-Box live is giving console gamers even greater multiplayer options. The holy grail of hyper-realism is coming…
Why blame the suits at Disney? When it's the customers (or lack thereof) that speak with their wallets. The Toy Story 3 game cost a TON to make, and had over 80% on Metacritic, and was by all means considered a HUGE critical success.... and the sales have been a bit of a flop. Huge open world sandbox game with a high…
120hrs in a 5 day work week - 40 for work - 40 for sleep - 7.5 for travel - 2.5 for dinner30hrs left over each work week to do whatever you want. That breaks down to 6hrs per day. Toss kids in the mix and I'm pretty sure you end up in the hole on hours some where. To me that doesn't seem like a lot of time to recharge your…
I'd recommend balancing out equally the technical side with the "art" side. Make sure the students are doing regular life drawing or even just traditional art lesson modules alongside the more technical game-oriented stuff. It will produce more creativity and understanding of art than just sitting them in front of…
