Hi there - There has been a lot of great advice given already about how to approach things as a whole, so I will try to focus on something very specific. The first piece of your folio is a Demon Centaur. In itself that's a great subject, full of potential. Looking at it, I suppose that you most likely spent quite some time…
The true wording of copyright laws can be vague, however this is a fairly clear cut case of illegal distribution. You do NOT need to generate income in order to break copyright law. Downloading/Exporting a file in order to fiddle around with in Max or Maya is completely legal, as it could easily be explained as "for use in…
Hey folks - since some folks found my last post interesting or helpful - I thought I would post another one - to the same student as before - Discalimer: These are just my thoughts, ideas, perspectives etc. - I don't claim to know everything or anything - Some things be debatable, or might not be PC or whatever - But it's…
If you're inexperienced, particularly in terms of traditional drawing I'll suggest reading comments I had offered on a couple of similarly aligned posts from people seeking guidance where to begin: Starting to learn to draw, i feel lost from start, how to start. (scroll to 4th reply) Some help getting started (scroll to…
Very interesting subject matter. I agree most of the issues in the back and forth are generic issues. At ND we outsource many assets and yes having to review assets on a daily basis for just our individual levels is time consuming. That is one part of the subject that was not really shown here is that the review process…
Well I'm glad you can't take both at the same time cause then you would be defeated, since they take too much time to get any work done and also learn new things with the medium. Drawing is a bitch to take if you don't know how to do so already. Why, because you'll be comparing yourself to other students that know how to…
Given that your character is made largely of human components for the overall form, bone, and muscle structure, I would recommend an in-depth study of human anatomy. You have the basic landmarks there, you just need to really push your understanding of the forms surrounding these land marks. You can find a lot of free…
This is more or less what happened with the economy cards, those who did have one received quite a few. I believe between us Red Moon guys we got at least 150 over the course of the four days. During our Showcase booth we would actually do a rock/scissor/paper battle to decide if they win a card, or if we ran into someone…
"Better WYSIWIG editors to increase people making content (is this good or bad?)" Well, from a business perspective, having more people using your service/product, increasing traffic to your site, and so forth - is a good thing. People will have the ability to express themselves through a variety mediums and learn about…
