Really cool proportions on this; you don't need to be ultra close just to read the details. If I can offer a crit, it seems the early texturing is reading more like a plastic because of the white (lighter) wear, when I'd expect more of a painted metal look. And I hate to mention this so late into a project, and because…
I agree with you guys. There isn't really a lot of very general "tutorials" or guides out there for the env artists tbh. But I think that is also because it is very hard to write good general enviroment art tutorials IMO. Env creation differs so much depending on the type of game you work on, engine, limitatations (target…
Yeah really the main thing you need to keep in mind is how interest works. 5K @ 10 years(10 years is a really long loan term for a loan of that size btw) wouldn't be $41(5000/10/12) every month. Its $41 + interest every month. Lets say you get an 8% interest rate ( have no idea what personal loan rates are there, but this…
If you have no money at all, you can use programs like Wings and Blender to learn 3d without spending a cent. They're remarkably capable and the artistic concepts will transfer from program to program. If you're a student and have no money, you can join Autodesk's student site and download free 6-month trials of 3ds Max…
Yeah, I'm a Dexter fan as well. The first season was amazing, the second would have been as well, if they didn't introduce that Lila character. Doakes kicks a lot of ass. I liked season three, but Dexter started losing his edge there. I don't like what they've done with the Rita character since season 2. She's a mega-bitch…
Just skimming the conversation here; all good advice. To add my tidbit; I usually feel more tired throughout the day in the winter months here (winters can be long and cold in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan). I've found that taking an extra dose of vitamin D (5000 IU), makes a huge difference. If you're not getting much…
If the page where you contact HR isn't in English, then chances are there aren't gonna deal with you. Interviews would be in Japanese. I am sure someone speaks English on staff, but meetings and emails will be in Japanese, and they don't run a day-care. One company contacted me and said they like my work, but I need to be…
I did Freelance for a year between Ensemble and Ironlore. This was 9 years ago. At the time, everyone was telling me that you have to be careful, as finding consistent work would be very hard. This scared me to the point that I had a problem of not being able to say no to people. I actually ended up taking on way too much…
If you, like me, love bloopers and have been watching the old Red Dwarfs, you gotta watch the outtakes as well. I just LOVE when Rimmer cracks up, its the best. And you gotta love the arnold song:) Season 1 bloopers: [ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STen5rnqkuI"]Red Dwarf Series 1 Smeg-Ups - YouTube[/ame] Season 2…
Hey Harry! :D I'm really digging this! First, I think I agree with you in that your timing is pretty solid. Second, I think you are super close to really defining this character! I think the run is probably the best animation you have going for this guy (more a fan of the arms moving run than the arms back run (though that…
