im sorry but if anyone believes that the upside down cross directly means satanism, then you need to do some research. it is the Cross of St. Peter http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_of_St._Peter "In Roman Catholicism the Petrine Cross is not seen as Satanic in any way. However, an inverted crucifix (a Latin cross with an…
Posted a character earlier and I finished the vases and patterns that I was talking about. This place's black interface obviously works best with some value and color since the contrast against a white base makes my eyes buuurrn (I toned it down a little by resizing). Anyway I really like the production sheets circulating…
Hey guys, thanks for the feedback. @Afklamer: Good points on the value of the props. I think I got a little carried away with contrast working on the props by themselves. I tried a quick pass to knock it down a bit. Better? I think it may need to go darker still. As for the geometry, I think it could be optimized quite a…
Wisdom teeth, all 4 at the same time. I remember waking up at home and my wife was pulling out wad after wad of bloody gauze, it was like a clown car at a Kotex sponsored circus. 1 botched root canal that later needed to be fixed, they didn't clean out all the roots, one root had a "funny" twist and they missed some nerve…
very good advice poop, hopefully once this article is finished it can be circulated and help many a noob. As for crits, what you have so far is pretty solid. I'd suggest adding some more options for aspiring artists, such as mod work. Great way to hone your skills in a pseudo-production environment, and meet and network…
[ QUOTE ] i agree that some games should be "taken further", but all your examples are mostly just existing franchises made into different, existing games. [/ QUOTE ] Thats really all you can do.. there are only 2 forms of creation.. variation of theme.. what cochtl just explained.. and something completly new.. and that…
An idea might be for people to try and push threads that have dropped to the bottom of the pages. Where there isn't much activity going on. So that there is a good circulation going with all the threads instead of the most updated taking top spot all the time. It's too easy to just click on a thread thats fresh and be the…
[EDIT-- many of the links of the first page are gone but i've replaced most later on in the thread] Howdy howdy everybody. Been meaning to put my stuff up to public scorn for a while here, and now I'm finally getting around to it. I'm all 2D, at least for now, and of that most of my stuff is divided between photoshop…
The problem as many put it is simply the change from the "glory" days of Steam to the current market condition. In the old days (Circa 2012) a FAILURE game on Steam would net the developer 30k. Seriously, the WORST selling games would still make 30k. This was because the supply was limited by Valve's ability to review…
Back on track of topic: My wife works for Gamestop and we have discussions on this fairly often. I make a point to not buy games used when I can. I like to support the studios and honestly don't mind paying the regular retail price as opposed to saving a whopping $5. Pre-ordering helps other people buy new as well since…
