Re: Looking for an artist perspective on the art asset marketplace.
you just said it, turbo squid. they have been selling crap models for 12 years and counting. there the Amazon of gutter 3d assets. i don't keep a list of failed model store websites. but if you do a search on this board or any other art board you will probably find loads. about every two months someone shows up with the… -
Re: Sketchbook: Veneq
Erik - Thanks! And thanks for checking out my SB! You do too. Gestures. Bridgman. Gestures. Loomis. Gestures. Gestures. Gestures. Daily diet, right? Anyway... Something different but fun! I freelanced for about 1.5 years almost exclusively in the music industry creating art for shirts - this is one I finished recently and… -
Re: sort of motivational post... sort of.
well, i have paid freelance gigs, so i'm not "technically" unemployed. but those are starting to dry up as clients want to work more with outsourcing studios and less with solo artists. i attribute this to, as a client grows, so do their needs, and i recognize that although i have a lot to offer any client who needs my… -
Re: Ever had your name taken out of the game credits post launch?
I recall some companies asking for credits from films. I don't remember what company it was but for them it was a guarantee of you working on that film. As for OP; I've had that happen to me too on a film and some commercials. From what I hear they won't put your name in the credits list if you've been working for the game… -
Re: Im a 3d artist that wants to be a 2d artist and need advice!
hey Immanuel, I would suggest looking through all the level up for techniques or info muzz has mentionned, and as far career advice, just start building a portfolio right now and get some crits, either from here or the level up hangout as that is what will make you progress the fatest. Just going for it and start working… -
Re: Electronic Arts named the worst company in America again
Which branch are we talking about? We have an EA branch here in Salt Lake, and everyone I've known who works for them and used to work for them (a few professors at school, and some local freelancers) say it was a good environment, and they enjoyed their job. I wouldn't say that Mr. potato Head party games is exactly a AAA… -
Re: ArenaNet Art Test cancelled for the Environment Artist Intern position?
Wow, I'd been putting in a lot of time on that. I have a 40 hour work week plus freelance obligations I worked around (who needs sleep anyway?) But you know what? Along the way I learned how to make a pretty decent tiling texture in Zbrush (which I still need to learn more about), and was learning a lot about the program… -
Re: Cartoon Busts
Sorry I disappeared for a couple weeks; I had a large chunk of overtime work, and had to play catch-up on some freelance work after. Armpitlazers and Pmiller01: Nani is probably my favorite so far, and also the one I think looks the weirdest. *shrug* Lucospade: The eyes are nothing special, just the toy plastic material… -
Re: Overseas? To go or not
You seem to have the right attitude. I'll give you another advice since I'm hoping karma would allow me to close a prospective freelance gig (art related, fit body not required :poly124:). Get a shift schedule job like being a waiter at a busy restaurant (tips!), your off time make DOTA2 or TF2 models to sell. Valve… -
Re: [Portfolio] Amauri Ploteixa, Illustrator and Character Artist
Thank you Texelion and bugo. Very valuable feedback. In fact, I always preferred to mantain my blogfolio as a general portfolio, not game oriented. The reason for this is because here in Brazil, where I live, we don't have significative game companies. I work here most of time as illustrator or designer. But... games are a…
