Re: Normal maps, Engines and dull colour palettes!
Ignore the haters, it's an interesting subject. But I do feel that people are just criticizing certain game art because it uses a limited palette, which I think isn't entirely fair.

Re: Worthless Women and the Men Who Create Them
I wrote up a huge rant/post before but i shortened it up, it was a lil pessimistic. but ill just sum it up. good points article with extremely valid things about respect and the objectification of women etc , the author just sounds either incredibly naive, trying hard to be sensitive to get laid, or just doesn't realize… -
Re: ILM workers protest proposed pay cut
Look at it this way, you're a game developer (or FX company) and you've got $120k/yr to hire new artists. You can hire two experienced artists for $60k/yr each, or one at $60k/yr and two college grads at $30k/yr, and you get the guy (or girl) with experience to watch over the other two.

Re: Most useless professions?
I won't get into the relativity of what professions are most 'useless', since individual 'usage' varies tremendously. I will get into the perception that some professions are overpaid.

Call for 3D fish models

Re: Concept artist Portfolio looking for critics !
Hi there! I can relate to your motivations as recently I had been considering whether to pursue 3D Character Art or stick with my original passion of Concept Art. I am leaning towards Concept Art right now as I agree that the feeling is more satisfying and creative. :) For the first alien design, I know it is probably not… -
Re: I need an advice in the beginning of my career
Concept art isn't my specialization, but I can offer some basic breaking in advice. - Look up a handful of game studios career pages and read over any postings for concept artists. Hopefully you can pick out some common themes in the sort of work that's in demand. Even if you don't apply for a studio job, that sort of work… -
Re: Learning About Character Modeling
Hi KrissyB, Welcome to Polycount!!!! :) That's cool that you came up with a bit of a back story for your character.
