Pretty much all i wanted to say has already been said so im going to keep it short. Im down with whipSwitch on this one, just work on your artwork and don't stress about the website yet. A good idea i think would be to start your own digital sketchbook thread here, ask for help and stuff and when you start getting good…
For £20 it's a good effort?: On a lower wage that's maybe 3-4 hours work, but obviously this will depend slightly on country (even though I believe everyone is entitled to the same no matter their country) If you're hitting for improvements then you could do with some buttons for the shirt, and shoes; as well as some…
Paper. Folders full of A3 sheets in fact. :p For things I need to do digitally I use Rainlendars TODO list feature. So as you where asking for software you should check that out. It certainly saved me countless times from forgetting to implement some functionality/model or whatever. I used some online service to keep track…
@Firith: It's ways nice to see someone trying to learn something new! My tips would be to use allot of gradients/blending so your values look nice. (tut about values: [ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9U64rzCn78"]48 Digital Painting Sketching with Values - YouTube[/ame]) And a good way to learn handpainting is to…
Pretty much this. Sony especially seems to be trying really hard to get more indies on their platform and they seem to be very proactive in reaching out to them. Hell, having The Witness shown during the PS4 presentation already shows that a shift is happening. I think we'll see more and more of niche titles. Games like…
Nice additions! I'll be using both of these daily, I'm sure, especially the batch renamer. Funny - I was actually just thinking about harassing you about a new feature yesterday morning. I work mostly in ZPRs and tend to save out incremental versions manually (mimicking Maya's incremental save feature) until I'm done with…
Your choice seems to be just 1 yes and 3 no's. What about something in between like "Useful once in a while" lol... The experience, connections and things I learned are helpful to this day. Not the degree itself. I was only asked for my degree once applying for a position at a digital television channel…
I never said AAA is going away. Top blockbuster games make tons of money, that business will continue. It's the bottom 70% of the retail market that is disappearing. We saw lots of studio closings this generation that showed that. However, a healthy market for blockbuster AAA is not a big enough reason for MS and Sony to…
SAIC is a great art school, but it's an art school. They have a reputation for fine arts; I'm not saying this is a bad thing (I got a BFA and put on some fulfilling exhibitions my senior year and very much enjoy art museums) but I'm not sure they'll know what to do with a portfolio of gray Colt 1911s and sci-fi blenders. I…
Nice. While your work is on the simpler, more geometric side, you're doing a good job at catching the planes of the face on a surprisingly expressive bust. And don't worry about the end product differing what you intended-- it happens to me all the time, so unless you have some very specific guidelines it's good to roll…
