You can practice and hone your anatomy, composition, color and lighting skills a hell of a lot faster in a 2d format than you can in 3d, and what you learn carries over pretty much perfectly. It's not a requirement, but it shows employers that you're more motivated and interested in art than people who don't have…
No, i don't have a portfolio. I have been doing 3D for about 2 years as a simple hobby, but only recently started doing it a bit seriously. I was simply wondering because i see a lot of portfolios with single pieces like the ones i showed. Out of curiosity i was trying to find the level i needed to be at by getting some…
Oops, been working on 3D mostly, getting kinda sloppy keeping up with my personal 2D. Got a teeny bit of time to touch an old hobby: [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZ1Ah7HdG5U[/ame] The art I used in the video: A quick sketch to try and figure out what the character looked like before I did the final: (this one is in…
there's no lifedrawing in your sketchbook thread here, and work that you've posted largely suggests lack of it. if you want to do illustration/concept art type of jobs, having a solid observational drawing foundation is a must. keep whatever job you're employed at right now, save money and hire a mentor who would…
Thank you Seraphinn! You´re right about the hands. For future work they are not ideal. I have to remake them anyway because I used dynamesh to merge them to the body and therefore lost the crease in the armpits... not the best idea on second guess, haha^^ I agree with you @"Wendy de Boer"! For an artist in the business it…
I feel your pain, but then again that is why they are making the game to make money. Though you do not have to pay for the "extra items", the monthly subscription thing could be sorted out better to actual game time so people don't feel ass raped every month for not even playing 2 days worth of that month... DLC's and that…
I've been at the same place since 2006, super stable, great pay and we hardly work over a 40hr week and crunch is a few days every 3-6mo. I've got a wife and a daughter and the job doesn't impact the time I spend with my family at all. But then again I'd give up the industry if it became unstable for me. I'd go back to…
With so many games using the same gameplay elements, if you've played one (or a dozen), why play another? I don't think games are meant to be as popular as they're becoming. It should be just like any other hobby. This is the way I look at the industry. Why buy Disney Monopoly, when I already own Simpsons Monopoly? Sure a…
[ QUOTE ] I wonder how they'll work this ending. I mean it has to be the most anticlimatic ending ever... The Aliens are about to conquer the world..... and then they die. No hero. No big explosions. No countdown to oblivion. I just don't get how they're gonna make that work for the common movie goer. [/ QUOTE ] Probably…
I did buy the model off the guy that sent it to me and I am spending my money on the materials and time to make these customs. I have purchased all my busts. A lot of guys in the custom scene started in the exact same way I am. I'm not doing this to make a living and it's just a hobby. I have made trades with other people…
