Small update, haven't really had much time to work on this, had my first freelance type gig and also quit my salary job so I can try and devote the most possible time to getting better at 3D. Scary times! Here is just a quick update, I struggle the most with colour, how to pick colour themes and knowing what works well…
Blaming the games industry because you don't have any meaningful relationships or friends? It was his choice to move that many times. There are bad jobs and there are good jobs, and there is also freelancing and going indie. All which are perfectly viable options IF you get good enough. Whats awesome about the being a…
I have business and web/print design degree, but I'm employed as a 3d artist. I took a 10 week Maya class after teaching myself 3ds Max for 3 years but have no other formal training. I've worked with a number of folks that don't have a degree, either - it is definitely possible to find work in the 3d world without a…
My advice would be that you gotta understand that even though an artist want to, it's hard to dedicate alot of spare time for a free project. I've been in a modding team where the leader expected me to dedicate 8 hours every day to the project, while under an NDA that didn't allow me to show my work after it was done.…
I know of a few useless professions unique to the building I work in: Art Manager without Art background ( speaks for itself. Waaaaay more trouble than benefit ) Level Co-ordinator ( erm, some spotty intern kid with delusions of grandeur that runs around with a clipboard asking various people working on level content…
Hahaha, sorry 3DGuy . I was wondering if I'd get that response :P. Anyway, thanks for the compliments guys. They wanted the character around 8000 tris, so they went towards anything and everything that effected the silhouette; some more subtle than others. Wires on my site if you're interested. As for the pose, I agree -…
Hi, We need a lead concept artist for a fantasy and sci-fi miniatures project, full time but even freelance is welcome. The ability to process old cliches into fresh and compelling ideas is a must. A background as a miniature concept artist is very welcome; a knowledge of the major sci-fi and fantasy setting is a must.…
Hey there,crazyfingers, thanks a lot dude. No really. I can see that you care and that means a lot for me. I'll have to paint you a present someday.) Even though I took my time to think about it, but yeah. You make a lot of sense. Thanks a lot for your advices. I've been thinking about similar stuff before, but when you…
Try to avoid being US centric when giving advice. Over here schooling can run you the cost of a house, skipping school is justifiable because you already live in a country with a large game industry presence AND quite possibly one of the hardest countries to emigrate to. But what if you live in a country that schooling is…
Ha yes, i have been trying to get his head shape better to not get that dog feel :/ I need to see how i could change that more. Here is side view: I think i might need to make the front of his face smaller: I have lots of troubles to get the face look right... If anything i would like it to look more like those…
