most people use marvelous designer for folds. If you want to hand sculpt them though, you can drop in some alpha map detail to use as a 'base', then clean up and sculpt over that. It's a good method, I use it myself for basically everything. You can find them for a few bucks (or even free sometimes) just need to watch for…
tapeworm in the brain means you somehow ingested feces containing tapeworm eggs, this usually occurs in countries that use human poop as fertilizer (WTF!?) Occurrences of tapeworms from undercooked pork in the US is so rare, the safe cooking temperature was recently dropped from 160 F (cooked to a dry puck) to 145 F…

The layout and composition of the environment is really strong, reminds me of a really high class coffee house that you find in central cities so that is coming along really well. As for the lighting, it is highlighting specific POI areas quite well but the shadows are way too dark, therefore creating negative space. To…
in order of personal preference Ruined lab > Bar > Apple computer > tape recorder thingo a nice linear progression. I'm facing my very own "onslaught of rejections" myself, so I'm speaking from a place of comradery(if that's a word, firefox isn't convinced it is) You seem very technically competent, you seem to have this…
Alright I decided since my work has kind of slowed due to my contract working picking up that I will update this on a weekly or biweekly basis. I Trimmed stuff down a bit more, I opted to get rid of the green triangle in the back and instead work more within the rockface based off the reference I have. From there I watched…
