carlo_c: they're a fair time commitment, tbh... I think it could be why more people don't do them. They range between a month and 3-4 months. Goblin guy took about a month. Busts just don't take as long as full maquettes. Lucien was about 3. Hyena guy was a bit more than 2. pior: thanks! Yeah, I do have the dremmel and the…
Hey guys, been a second. Got thrown a bit of a curveball, so I've gotten about 4ish days of work done in the past 12 days haha. This means i'll bust my deadline, but even from when I was able to work on it like I planned it showed me exactly where I need improvement, so that's a good thing :smile: Anywho, I have a couple…
For artists, get a degree if you can, especially if its paid for and if it will help you outside of the industry, just in case it ever folds or you get tired of working in it. Studios within the industry go boom and bust fairly regularly and that instability gets old for a lot of people. With that said, getting a degree…
Dustinbrown is right on the money again. But since you asked for some crits here you go... -The ears look really weird, even if the sillohette is correct based on your reference (which is extremely abnormal) Im sure the thickness is not correct, it looks paper thin in areas that are usually thicker and fleshy. -The eyebrow…

I was hired by a local animation studio before I was able to finish the academic program, but my being hired…

Edit: Updated service packs. When I open my Maya file I get an error message followed by a blank scene. Can't see anything in the outliner. Anyone know the problem? file -f -new; // Warning: file: C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2018/scripts/startup/rememberViewportSettings.mel line 29: Active stereo does not work with Aero…
Hi all, Just posted this on Zbrushcentral and thought I'd post it here as well... Being a production artist at EA, I rarely get the opportunity/time to push one final image to completion. This is my second piece using render layers from Zbrush. My goal this time around was to focus on lighting and mood. Something that…
UPDATE No_01 Finished the first dress in MD from the series! And also started working on 3 others already! I have looots of references of the outfits I want to recreate, so I decided to create the outfits in small batches of 3-4 outfits in MD at once before moving to Zbrush for clean-up and later texturing. This way I'll…
You're gonna get a bunch of 'man up, we've heard it before' threads, I'll prewarn you. I'll comment because I've suffered with the kind of thing you're talking about, and it really fucking sucks. There are people who can just get through anything and 'man up', but some of us (myself included) suffer more than others and…
