Asking for feedback is sensible - the downside is that occasionally I have some free time to give it ;) I don't see any glaring technical problems with your work. There are two main things you need to improve on from my perspective (its been 5 years since I was last hiring artists at a first party studio so might be a bit…
Ah ok. I was more curious about your location in case we happened to be close thus be able to actually physically meet (I'm in Brisbane) :) As for your issue, it's a bit difficult to say. If your applications have mostly been going overseas, then I would be guessing the time differences would have a pretty major impact on…
I would download the program PureRef. It's free and an amazing reference/mood board program. It takes about 10 minutes to learn how to use it, and you'll find you're using it super frequently. After that, I suggest spending a few hours collecting references. This includes stylized materials, models, etc. Then, reference…
Think of design. The ratio between visually noisy areas and visually clean areas. A perfect balance (I think its 80/20?) between those two is more visually appealing to the eye. And where are you getting your 90% figure? Sounds kind of pulled out of your ass. If this has been troubling you for some time then you should…
Thanks for the great comments everyone, and for the suggestions :D I'm really pleased with how its going so really appreciate that. Really want to push it as far as I can. Hi Shrike thanks for the constructive comments :) the meat first :) 1.Modeled and unwrapped in Max 2.Texture -In ZBrush I projected a series of images…
Hey Lamb, I think you've just moved into that intermediate-level, where you aren't a complete newbie, but you aren't a rockstar yet. Newbies need to work on pretty much everything, and it's easy to give a quick critique that can help a ton. Intermediate guys are too advanced for a quick critique and require much more work…
I'mma give it to you straight. This is a good model that you've done. Well job'd! I'm enjoying the entirety of it except the m4 stock adapter piece. It looks blobby and lacks definition in it's shape as if you didn't have good references for it, #sorry. Mspaint is the shit, yo. The weakest part of this is the…
Sorry for the absence, been meaning to post more updates, but kept getting distracted. It really is an uphill battle, fighting against the part of yourself that doesn't want to move forward for whatever reasons, fear, a need to be perfect, etc. I've been refining the model, using another technique from the Pavlovich videos…
Ok this is honestly my last post on this matter. Loggie24 yes you are allowed to express your opinion, but when someone post the same thing over and over and over again, calling us liars, thieves its not expressing your opinion its a simple a childish immature bashing. This is not the only thread certain individuals posted…
So awhile back (90's) a lot of places in the area ran like how the handbook depicts but a little less refined if you can even call it that ha. The place I currently work at just a few blocks from Valve, founded about the same time, works mostly like that but with some hints of classic corporate structure imposed. People at…
