Hello everyone. I was recently talking to a sculptor about various topics in art. He looked at my work and notated that I was too fixated on precision. One thing he mentioned was that conveying the message and character was actually more important, even at the expense of not following the reference exactly if not at all.…
Greetings ladies and gentlemen. I am Filip Albert "Whiskered_Gentelman" Grabowski or for short Whiskered. I am recent graduate in the 3D modelling and animation, but I had some commissions done before. Looking to improve my art skills and urgently looking for a employment due, murky home situation. I'm pretty much always…
I know next to nothing about art, apart from I used to paint oil based lanscapes some time ago. Recently I bought an Intuous Pro to do landscapes digitally, but since I play league I thought this sounded fun. I have no artistic training, talent or skill but I'm enjoying the little I've done so far. I am finding it very…
It turns out one of my previous projects was a bit too much for my skill level so I've had to draw it back quite a bit and start on something a bit smaller scale.

help me refine an art style for some objects I am trying to model. Simply put, I am looking to model an already existing object
of one game in a modified style similar to another game. Currently, I have
trouble changing the…
Info The idea of this thread is to recycle some of my old concepts and see what I would make from them today. I will try to go into detail about every step I take from the original sketch to making modular meshes, fit for UDK and other realtime engines. I'd apreciate your feedback and thoughts/suggestions and hope we can…
Hey all. My journey through game art self-learning has been going along with my Polycount activity, it made sense to post this here, since these forums have always been an awesome resource and hub to connect, and a place that I feel everyone is always kind to me, for some reason! I was wondering if any of you would feel…
