I think I'm burnt out along with other things...
Hello! To start, a bit about me! I'm currently 42 and started working in games about 7 years ago when I was 35. I had been dabbling in 3D for about 10 years before that always wanting to work in games, but the city I live in had little to no game studios. So my options were to either move or work other 3D type jobs not… -
Re: gamedev English
It's more to do with studio size and regulation. once you get past a certain size you legally need HR and once you have HR you have rules about how you speak to people and they're enforced by people who are payed to not have a sense of humour -

Re: game / film subsidies. the race to the bottom and how to protect your profession.
@Bibendum there are things that overlap and some that don't. unfortunately all of the bad practices that started in vfx spread to games. the business models for bidding in some vfx are not the same. but the trend is also happening is the large studios that do animated features with original ip such as dreamworks etc. in… -
Re: Sketchbook: Veneq
PFFAN91 - Thanks! Appreaciated! Kerroh - Thank you! It's all just eyeballing things with a blank canvas up next to the reference photo. No tracing or color picking allowed.

To make an attractive character you are going to need to study form, volume, structure and gesture. Being just a little off with a female… -
Re: Please come with criticism and point out correcting "zbrus head"

Re: Best method for properly learning anatomy and its relation to art?
Best way is life drawing combined with studying good anatomical diagrams, plus drawing some prosected cadavers. A medical school where you can get close to or touch the cadavers is best. Bit icky, but there you go. It's what I did, and it made me truly *get* anatomy in a way I never did before. You don't forget what we're… -
Re: Female Face Problem
I didn't mean he should use photo references as a modeling crutch, I meant that he should use photo references as a study resource for understanding forms. Your proportions are fine, at least in the front view. What is wrong is everything else: shapes of the bones, planes of the face, shapes of the features…
