The studio may have been inexperienced and maybe they were not sure how long it takes to create high quality game ready characters. If you were interested you could have requested more time on this project, explaining you would need more to produce a certain level of quality. Maybe this wasn't the right gig for you, but at…
I can't say much about blender because I haven't actually used it, just heard people talking about it. Maybe its gotten better since I first got into the industry 7 years ago? But 3ds max has been a industry standard for many years now, and its not easy to switch everyone from one program to another especially when people…
I think I have the opposite where I want to make everything and alot of the time I have too many things running through my head that its hard to pick what to do or even the good ideas from the bad ones. I don't see it as a 'block' but more like design development. When at uni I learnt it's important to get your ideas on…
I'm structural engineer (have done some freelancing on the side) which is quite stressful depending on what type of project I'm on. My job requires a high amount of focus, consequence responsibility along side short deadlines, one of the reasons I'm trying to change careers is the high stress load. Not that I would think a…

I think sexism and intolerance against various sexualities…

Sorry I haven't had the chance to respond to everyone's input. I've been spending the last week moving across the country. I'm finally getting settled into my new home and can get back to work on my art. PyrZern: The UVs are mirrored, but the hard edge down the center was an intentional design choice. I hope it doesn't…
Well the thing is making portfolio art and being a game developer are different things, I didn't fully realize this until I started working on a full project outside of freelancing and basic "just art" stuff, even with a heavy modding background it was only then I truly grasped the difference. There's alot of things you…
haha thats the course I took :P I originally went when it was in it's second year of existence, so they were still working things out. Was pretty bad overall with maybe 1 or 2 exceptions, and it's made me hate higher education in general. I took a job in new zealand around my second year and came back 1 year later and the…
