Re: Examples of artists who've started later in life and found success?
I used to fling out 2 examples to my students that don't really seem to exist online anymore. Del Walker (Sr Character Artist at Rocksteady). http://drawingyourdreams.com - When I first saw Del's work, it was "rough". Pretty much the textbook definition of amateur artist. Thing was.. he worked hard. Every month he… -
Re: Stepping in the Game Artist World
It depends on a lot of things, but I think generally speaking its just about the portfolio. So when you read 'a minimum of 3 years' it actually means that they expect your portfolio to be on par with people working in that field with 3 years of experience. Still when it comes to visa things are different. Little general… -
Re: Giving feedback when it isn't asked for
A professional artist should be able to take artistic critiques from anyone, whether there an industry vet, someone new or someone not into art at all. A critique is someones OPINION on what they see in the art. It doesn't mean there right, and because of there talent level, doesn't mean there wrong. Its there viewpoint on… -
Re: Architecture to Level Design
peanut: Relax, he's just introducing himself and his background. There are plenty of students around these forums that say the same thing only, I'm about to graduate Uni in 3D Game Art blah blah. I for one think it's awesome you have a degree in Architecture. As an Environment artist understanding how things work and are… -
Re: ♣ Toronto Meet-up ♣ Friday, October 23rd ♣
19+ since it happens at a bar. And be sure to always pay your bar tab! that's really all there is to it. In terms of etiquette at socials like this, it's generally a good idea to not treat them like a job fair, but rather use them as a time to get to know the people you meet on a more personal level. We've never really had… -
Re: Payment and Freelance questions.
Too many variables really. Where does the artist live? What sort of education/experience? What does his portfolio look like? I've seen many a young artist with a better portfolio than senior level industry pros, and I've seen student work that is nowhere near professional level. Like I said above, most artists, probably in… -
Re: When did you start applying for game industry jobs?
I got my first job in a small studio barely 10 months into learning 3d. Now you could think that I must have been amazing or something, but while I was probably better than most students with less than a year experience I was definitely lightyears away from anything that would wow you (and still am). Truth is it tells you… -
Re: I makes a Epic GUN
I don't think anyone doubted that the thread was a joke from the get go. We all know the guy is an art teacher and that the model is well done. Obviously a good number missed the issue completely. As one person mentioned something about "flaming"; let me answer that. If you think a well thought out post with no profanity,… -
Re: Animation Instruction?
http://www.animationmentor.com/ Animation Mentor focuses just on animation, it mostly follows a feature film workflow with most of it's mentors coming from Disney, Pixar, Dreamworks and BlueSky and most of it's top talent students landing jobs at those places. It's fairly pricey but what you get out is top notch. I know… -
Re: [Portfolio] (3d interactive): Hendrik-Jan Schoenmaker, MM|VR-Designer
just hit the [space] key - it then does what you just described. Hit it again to disable that mode. no all unique unwrapped and textured (every little corner, wire, stone,...). It was done by 2 students me beeing the character modeler and texture artist and the other one beeing responsible for most of the environment work-…
