Glad to hear that, Toy Story 3 was my last game at Disney Interactive. Anyways, I totally agree with you. I find myself purchasing only 2-3 games a year, and it's usually because of the art and rarely because of the gameplay. I'm tired of 'kill the enemy' being the core mechanic with some type of super power side mechanic…
Seems like he did. The major thing you kept was a cone tipped cylinder shape. Like snader said, the original has 9 doors, yours 3. The original has a balcony around it above the doors, yours has none... Not knocking yours, I love tiki and it will be cool to see what you end up with. But if they are looking for a model with…
The current wave of hidden object game is primarily driven by the big dogs (Zynga,EA,Disney) trying to find other mechanics to monetize. The peak of farming/city base games is past us and the larger companies are trying to find unique game types that the general mass may be interested in; hidden object games being one of…
I dunno, this thing about paying $70,000 for connections... Personally I met quite a few people in the industry going to a community college. Though I didn't take full advantage of it like I should have. One of my instructors was from Dreamworks, one from Disney, another had worked on a couple of feature films. I met some…
Man, I loved this game. I really think this game could represent a pivotal moment in video game history. Maybe, it's just me, but I doubt it. I don't usually pay much attention to stories in games because they just usually don't warrant it. I loved the first Bioshock, but I really felt like this game took video game…
Ya, using a tablet is suppose to help a lot. It has something to do with bending your wrist up and down instead of side to side. If oyu look at a lot of the old time animators at like disney and stuff, they didnt have nearly the problems you see today. At least, not as quickly, and not as often. Apparnetly moving your…
It'll probably take time to get work if at all, This industry is a struggle. If you're going for Character artist just keep doing characters and finishing them, at this point the only general thing we can tell you in regards to your skills is just keep practicing. As for increasing your chances, get some really stylized…
Campbell is a Disney freak. Hughs is awesome. Turner sucks....it's as simple as that. And Neal Adams kicks ass and you should kiss his feet. Really, you guys should look at jeffrey jones, syd mead, and john foster before you start love'n hack storyboard artists. http://www.jonfoster.com/ Alot of people called john…
Not a bad start i must say. Sculpting plated armor with organic shapes is tough by hand. When i worked at Atomic Monkey i worked on the new (at the time) Perfect Dark maquette for their production team. IT was tough to get those forms and edges and things looking symmetrical. Not sure how much you have sculpted but i…
Dear Artists, So a while back I had a though to turn a Disney character into a realistic game ready character model, Ive been playing around in maya and zbrush trying tp achieve ancient Chinese dynasty armour. Of-course i am using all sorts of references, including the anatomy of the character. I really have not got far…
