How much time do you spend networking, going to meetups and contributing to online communities? that is another essential part of the equation. The chances of you having someone recommend you for a position (this is like a golden ticket) go way up the more value you provide to others. I would look on meetup.com and start…
I know that this post is old. But if it helps you, for pixel art painting in substance painter you can use the PIXEL8R paid plugin by ActionDawg, it is very versatile and you can even make pixel normals with it. A lot of games are currently using…
Thats right I made a box for my first Polycount post :) It helped me get more comfortable with modeling and mapping and baking normals. Been following the forums for a long time and thought it was about time to join em and post, even if it is just a box. I'll have more interesting works in the future. Thats all, thanks for…
Hello everybody! I'm new to the forum. I have been looking at some stuff posted here and I must say generally the quality of works here is sky high! Let me introduce myself. I have been working as a game artist from the year 2000. Before that I did more some nasty advertising gfx stuff. I started freelancing 2005 and for…
At a glance, wondering if the OP had posted the wrong image given their context for this thread is game asset modeling practice so perhaps high poly version?

I do agree the thing you posted looks great but realistically I imagine it took this person much longer than 3-4 days to make, something I…

I've been wanting to post some things I've been working on for my portfolio. I was wondering what is the best way to post images in pimping and previews. i notice sometimes you have to click a link, I would like my work to appear on the screen. thanks rockd
I really do appreciate the direct feedback from everyone. There’s a lot in here that’s useful, even if some of it is coming in a bit hot. A few clarifications and a couple things I clearly need to improve. This is a not-for-profit endeavor that started out as a discussion with other design professionals and when I found…
