And thanks for the compliments everyone! I didn't have time to respond to you all last night, so here I go. :) Oh that's cool! After Wandake he was doing mainly freelance, so I shouldn't be surprised. Ryan is a great guy, and a fantastic artist. I hope to be able to work with him again soon. All the artists at Wandake were…
For a storyboard artist you want to show excellent composition and flow. IMO, If you have collaborated with animators, I would like to see storyboards side by side with the finished scene to show how your compositions contributed to the project. I understand that you might not have a project like that to show. If not, then…
The trash can is very high-poly in relation to the rest of the scene -taking over a third of your total budget. The scene seems a bit flat, especially along the lockers. If you're using a normal map, then I'd work on the edges between lockers; if not, then I'd add one. :) The ceiling tiles and the lights seem very small.…
ps. as someone who was in your situation 4 years ago (wannabe 3d artist going into computer science) I said to myself that I would practice 3d during school and hopefully when i got out i could pick whichever path i chose. it's important to mention that i wasn't a 3d beginner at the time (been doing it for fun since I was…
3 faction pvp is the only thing to shine the light on really, everything else is standard fair. With Guild wars 2 coming out, which also has 3 way pvp but a progression based 3 server pvp will take it beyond what TES:O is doing right now. I was present for the original DAOC 1000+ man 3 way milegate battles and to say it…
Might be slightly valid if the position was paying, but for a royalty based design you really have to have faith in the project, people stating why they wouldn't have faith in the project should be useful to such a person who needs artists. I could just list off a ton of reasons why its one to avoid, from the ambitious…
Currency exchange is always fun. I still have a bag of coins from my trips overseas and crossing borders. I've always found it quite interesting though how America is a bitch when it comes to foreign currency. I go out of the country and people are like "give me whatcha got. we're good. $5.00 u.s.? cool, here's a shitload…
Thanks again guys, I'll reply to everyone in a minute. Been using the down time to take up a new sport, get some personal pieces done...generally trying to level up my life. Here's the art... Commission work, not too happy with the way it turned out but at least the client was ecstatic, and I got the cash moneys! Corporate…
As rooster said, feed your imagination. Blaizer is right in that you should be thinking about this stuff more, but it's not enough just to sit in an empty room and just think furiously for an hour or two - while that might work now and then, most of the time you need some fuel for the "design fire", as it were. That's what…
Jimmies learning 3d modeling isn't a walk in the park. I'm not sure if you have learned to think in 3d but it took me a very long time to get used to seeing four views and not get confused. But I like the freaking thing instantly and the fact that it was hard as shit for me just made me more determined to learn it. I used…
