I think your work looks good and it shows technical proficiency. The thing that stands out to me on the Oak Island piece is that it feels too symmetrical. You have these elements with nice accent colors, but they are all evenly distributed throughout the space, which distracts from the focal point imo. I'd try applying the…
I gotta hand it to you, I didn't think anyone could do it. But you did. This is the worst piece of crap I ever seen. You just single-handedly destroyed video-game art. This piece is so bad, that it's offensive to our very art form. Really can't imagine anything worse than this. It's offensive to the senses. The Hindenburg…
If you are aiming for real cool scifi look, you should add a lot more details on your mesh ! http://videogame-art.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/VideoGameArt_ScifiGun_Ely02_TorFrick.jpg http://digital-art-gallery.com/oid/17/1280x960_4749_Gun_3d_sci_fi_gun_weapon_picture_image_digital_art.jpg…
It doesn't look like it tiles perfectly as you seem to have a duplicate row right at the edge. I also thin the color variation on the individual stones are too strong and the transition needs to be a lot smoother as well. The bigger color variation with different colored bricks is good, but if you were to tile this 20…
i sat down thinking id just play for 20 mins. 2 hrs later.... So far this game is fucking awesome. I love the geotags, world events, etc! I need more people on my friend's list playing the game though! I also really, really like how they suggest things to you. Its a really cool touch! They get you shopping and buying this…
I would optimize sections like these simply for the sake of my viewport fps. I don't think anyone would care about the polycount until you start getting past the 20 million zone. If you wanted to reduce anyway you could delete the flat sides and selectively polysmooth only the teeth since it is the only part that benefits,…
Yeah, as mentioned. A alright portfolio won't really take you anywhere now a days. You'r portfolio is a bit blurry to. The mod pictures doesn't tell me anything. The HL2 printscreens looks like, like HL2 screens. But then your portfolio doesn't work in chrome, or the gallery don't, so what do i know. Remember that like 20%…
I think one day being an art director would be a long term goal of mine. hard to say when I haven't even had an industry job yet to experience production for myself. Which leads in to my major goal right now. Get a job working as a modeler in the games industry. Otherwise my goals would just be to work at studios I really…
Find a copy of Die Gestalt des Menschen by Gottfried Bammes. It's the best reference you can find on paper. It's in German, but all you need is the reference images in the book. Ain't cheap, but out of the 20 anatomy books I own, it's the only one I would even recommend if you're serious about learning this stuff. Make…
You're actually in luck. Digging through my Gears3 folders I see that I saved about 20 or so WIP files that I can do grabs from and show some of the stages I went though. There will be a lot of shots where it will feel like one of those cheap 'here's one I made earlier' deals. Normally, I save a lot of versions while it is…
