Alright guys, another week, another set of images. So after doing some additional studying on lighting I fixed some of my issues I had with being able to spot the modular assets from the lightmaps alone. Along with going through and making sure I broke up a lot of perpendicular lines that I have (recognizing that Persona 3…
@Greg Westphal Thank a lot Greg! Those are very encouraging words :) It's true that I didn't wanted to stick 100% to the original ref and there's a few "stylized" parts. It's great you can notice that. Again, thanks for the kind words! Continuing with the "dark fantasy" project, here you have a frog lineup I designed to…
@PyrZern Looks like some pretty solid modelling work to me. I love the concept, but I really like stylized figures so there ya go. I think taking the feel of a character and pushing it is a great challenge and exercise. I think the comment on the thickness of the armor is a good one. The only crit I would have is the…
That's more like it :) Cheers. Personally dude, if you get the time, Go check out some fantasy tales/books. Take some inspiration and just make personal alterations. Erabor is indeed an awesome name, you just don't want people viewing your project and going ''hey, wheres the stone dwarves?, where's laketown?'' Like i said…
This cutscene right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjJNvjAKjJI My first system was a NES and I mainly stuck to platformers. But I got a playstation for chirstmas and rented Final Fantasy 8. I lived on a tiny farm in the middle of nowhere so it was very easy to myself getting severely entranced by the setting and…
"MMO", Blender, a few spelling errors, 1st post... (welcome to Polycount! btw...) and most importantly for a project trying to get help on an art forum, no screenshots of progress made so far. Sadly I don't think you're going to get much of a helpful response around here with that :( For some Blender specific help I…
Really nice thread Teriyaki. Maybe here is something you could add to the list, well it kinda enters in the "detail exploration" section, I don't know : concept artists should think in 3D, and think about how what they are drawing works. I've seen a lot of concepts that just couldn't work in real life, or in 3D. They put…
Jonas: Thanks a lot for the feedback! I definitely agree with you about the wood - I'll try and really push that warped effect with the wood elements! I keep having to remind myself to really push the quirky, fantasy elements of the piece :) Owl: Wow I really appreciate your incredibly thorough feedback, this is exactly…
I was lurking through all of your pages saving an environment piece that inspired me about every other page or so planning on just going on about my day, but then I ended up saving so much I figured i just HAD to comment, i love a bunch of your stuff and some of my favorite are your silhouettes, and even better how you…
You mentioned you wanted some more character in the scene, so i think you just got to write a little story in your head and then build the scene to show it. Maybe it's son and father frying the loin after a successful hunt, maybe they are getting breakfast while laying out all the gear to get ready to go out for the day...…
