Re: Character Artist Demo Reel - 2009
Hey there, Well, I'm sorry to say I think you are going about this wrong. First off, demo reels are generally a bad idea.

Re: How effective are game design courses?
There are very very few degree programs worth their weight, 99% of them are taught by people not in the industry with old information you can readily get elsewhere on the net for free or via sites like gnomon, digitaltutors, eat3d, etc... none of the schools out there are worth $70k to $100k+ for a degree in games.

Re: Art-Machine's RPG Weapons Thread
Thanks guys, glad you like that last one. You're right they are wimpy, let me explain why : The 3 arrows around the top i imagined to be from a more elvish kind of shooter, that shoot very accurately and so use very light arrows to penetrate gaps in armor etc. You'll notice the lower 2 are fatter and less elegant, I… -
Re: Trying to put together a portfolio, need advice
1) Its all worth keeping 2) if by refining you mean finishing then yes. 3) Ashbust = great for practice. BUT having to comment out that your work was based off another's (even as much work as you did to it) is still a tiny black mark in my eyes. It will help if you post a link to an image of the ashbust so they can see how… -

Re: Life choices : crappy job + art at side or any other job + art on the back burner
I had an interesting talk with Del a longass time ago. Being a part time teacher for an American school, there's a bit of perspective I want to share: Imagine you had $250,000 dollars sitting in your bank account right now. Then say to yourself "I want to spend every single penny of this, on an EDUCATION! What do you…
