The final project of this semester was focused on recreating an environment from reference, of which I chose a part of the subway environment from Stray. Unlike my previous project related to an environment, there was a clear number of things to do and guidelines for how to set up the scene. The sheer number of items to…
I can't say I'm as enthusiastic as the rest. For a large part, that just stems from a dislike for WoW's art style (and a tiredness of it, with all those chips or armour taken out... blegh) The whole of the armour is just a mish-mash of grey lines going into every direction and they fail to support the silhouette in any…

You absolutely have a point here, but as you know, I can't really do anything about it. And today my professor told me the same thing about the bricks in the corners and the bottom. I will try a few things I have in mind. But if those don't work, I guess I have to stick with this. The good thing is that most of the bottom…
rooster, you can make any pockets you want, the function and placement are irrelevant. what they need is to be part of the form of the pants. i figuered id try and paint on it.. and then dragged to other stuff so the other things are: try placing some remarkable (noticeable) marks around the highlights for details, that's…
