Re: Polyphasic Sleep
I tried a polyphasic sleep schedule about 5 years ago and kept up with it for about 8 months. If I remember right, I did a 1.5 hr nap around midnight, then several naps throughout the day to total up about 3 hrs a sleep a day. I mostly did it just to see if I could. It was an interesting experience to say the least, and I… -
Re: Bicycle Suggestions
Hey oXYnary, I used to do a ton of commuting, and it was all on a commencal hardtail with front suspension. I wouldn't use a suspension fork on a commuting rig ever again. I commuted through all weather and I don't know about Seattle but where I was the salt on the road wrecked havok on the bike. In particular the… -
Re: Need Advice
Hey man, welcome to Polycount. First and foremost drawing and painting skills won't be your primary skills working in 3D. You can totally make up for it with skills in other areas. Texturing, Composition, color theory, lighting and just regular awesome 3d modelling skills. So I usually say that people should at least try… -
Re: Portfolio feedback needed
Well, your last post is a relief...applying with that will prob not get you far. I realize that is harsh but it is the reality. You need a lot more assets. judging from what you have now, I would make at least 2-3 high level assets...just go realistic. You could do like 2 super realistic props and 1 stylized hand painted… -
Re: Arenanet Character Art Test - Norn Armor
Really strong work, @Avelyne, she's looking quite nice. I'm really liking the slightly exaggerated lip in the interwoven armor pieces. Helps give them a bit more weight and should help keep them from being too subtle in your textures and normals. I'm gonna go ahead and second pretty much all of Alemja's suggestions. I… -
Re: Saw a very young kid being sold a copy of MW3 in Gamestop today.
If I read the original post correctly it was sold to the parent not the child, they bought it after being told what the rating was? If the parent had bought it on their own would you have bothered to get upset? Potentially every adult buying games could be a parent who could give their child access to rated content! I… -
Re: [UDK] Guild Wars 2 Concepts
I think it's coming along well, good work. I think some minor tweaks with the tunnel forms would help it get more of the feeling of the concept. Which is to say that the main tunnel entrance doesn't look as wide and imposing as the concept suggests, though certainly FOV/distance plays a role here. A suggestion--I think the… -

Rob's Dota Junk!
Hey all! My name is Rob and I'm a concept artist as well as a big Dota fan. I've been tossing around the idea of creating some items as a way to keep busy after work. I'd also like to use this as a way to teach myself Zbrush and all the other bits of the process I never get to touch at my day job. I've been creeping these… -
