Hey right on! You got your normals sorted out. It's turned out really nice, great work! The only few nit picky things I can come up with would be trying to get more AA in there for your final presentation shots, messing around with the ambient light so it's more of a colour value instead of a black/white value, and the…
If you want to go nuts and improve drastically, I'll tell you what we did in my digital painting course where everyone improved drastically. One week we'd paint 6 different kinds of stone textures (granite, stone slabs, obsidian, etc --or even a couple the same kind), then the next week do 6 different kinds of wood…
Yeah +1 for a MacBook Pro here. Been using 'em for 5 years now and they've never let me down. Built like tanks, rock solid. Sure they're not officially top of the 'spec leaderboards' but I've gotten some pretty heavy work done on them without problem. Heck my current model has an ATI 6750 card an I still haven't seen a…
Here's something to keep in mind while working on personal stuff : Why are you doing the project? It should either be for your portfolio or practice. If its for your portfolio, have a good idea what you will be showing, etc.... dont detail out things that will never be seen. Or at least limit the time on the unimportant…
Thank you for the replies. I did search, Mr.Chacdwick. But the one I want is not a simple "top down camera" system. I've searched the Net and only found simple mini-map systems (not even the GPS ones) - Even the one that laforced posted here is a topdown camera one, I appreciate and thank him for the link though - however…
You will be a production artist, that means you will more than likely end up doing some things that you don't want to do. Every job even the job where you get to do the things you like will probably come with some things you don't like, that's just how it goes. Unless you plan to freelance and only take up the stuff that…
The beginnings of a dog ecorche. One of my five dogs, who happens to be the best and greatest and most cleverest and most beautifullest girl in the world, is the model. This will make getting everything perfect easier as I've got the real life reference at full disposal. Progress will be real slow with this as it's a side…
I never said you or beetrootChan stole it!:s Only said it looked simular.. So your making a big point of something that I clearly don't.. And be happy I told you it looked awesome, just wanted to be sure it was just a coincidence. Also a lot of ppl have simular ideas and you can't browse every game or concept on the net or…
I really like the style of the character, @vavavoom! I think you've captured the look of Sungmin Jung's concept really well, and my only critiques are suuper nit-picky. It could be a nice breakup if you made her cheeks or cheekbones a little fuller from the 3/4 angle. Not so much that it would change much of the front…
OMG BOOBEYES nice skin hollowmind - i like the gothy netting stuff, and the costume. i think the highlights on her flesh need some more saturation and colour variation though, just to give her a little more "life". the hair is really well done, I reckon - nice work there! the boots could maybe use a little more design and…
