Anyways, take a look at the program and tell me if you guys think: 1st term math logic programming algorithms computer architecture computer programming creativity and expression multimedia production localization 2nd term interface and gameplay digital gaming physics computer… -
Re: ScottMichaelH portfolio critique take 3
Regarding the sword, It looks pretty good, and to be honest I'm leaning towards you keeping it. It's simple and polished.... But you'll need to present it better, I think. That plain light grey background does it no favors whatsoever. Get creative. Stick it in a stone or some dirt, or display it with better lighting (IBL… -
Re: Becoming a 3D Character Artist, what is your opinion?
Some great advice in this thread from industry vets. I would just like to add that you should absolutely pursue traditional art skills, not only because they are crucially important to being a great character artist, but also because drawing, painting, and sculpting are incredibly fun! I feel lucky to be working in a time… -
Re: Are character artists higher skilled than Environment artists?
I think that many character artists could create better environments because of their mastery of organic modelling. When it comes to specifics its probably going to be a side job for them.

Re: Choice of tools for self-teaching artists
@Poly_bob I've never heard of a company wanting a concept artist that can also do 3d The brief of a concept task might not require it, but being able to put together a quick 3d blockout once an overall design is well established is extremely useful if the client/production team requires tight orthos. That said, 3d is… -
Re: Question : The Ideal Portfolio - The Do's and Don'ts
"I actually have a really good write up somewhere which I'll post if I find it, but basically you want to avoid things that have been done a billion times before (big boobed amazon warriors, post apocalyptic scenes and space operas come to mind), that is unless you have some super original twist on the theme." Is this… -
Re: New year's resolutions for 2013!
1. Finish up my treatment and take control over my goddamn life again. 2. Realize I'm a dead man walking and might as well take more chances. 3. Rekindle my love for doing creative shit and actually putting time and effort into it. 4. Moving down to the coast again. 5. Take care of myself physically as well as mentally. If… -
Re: Jungle Guerilla Headquarters
I like the creativity and direction you're taking this. Adventure land is definitely one of my favorite places in Disneyland because of the jungle/lush environment, it screams exploration and frontier. The composition from your shot here with your blockout looks great. For the foliage, I would create clumps of various… -
Re: [Advice] Buying a new computer desk
Ikea is great for a variety of reasons. You can also hack stuff together and create your own custom stuff quite easily. There is a whole site dedicated to it here http://www.ikeahackers.net http://www.ikeahackers.net/2012/05/creative-ikea-desk.html http://www.ikeahackers.net/2012/05/biginfrikinhevi-red-and-black-home.html… -
Re: Non-violent video games
Takes too much creativity to make a non-violent game. ^_^ I've straight up worked with designers that have said 'It's impossible to make a game without violence', when given complete Carte Blanche. I love Braid Rhythm games: Notably Elite Beat Agents, and Parappa the Rappa Sports games: Skate / Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3/…
