If you're just using Photoshop, CC is awesome. Its $10/m for current versions of Photoshop and Lightroom - awesome if you do any photo editing. Lightroom itself is about $120, PS, what $700 or so? It would take about 7 years of paying for CC for it to be a bad deal. OTOH, if you're happy with your current version, or you…
I'm no character artist but here's a blunt crit: Top 6-7 pieces, you know... the ones that pop up first made me want to just close out the site. That's what a recruiter would do anyways. I scrolled down and am like, wow ok you've got some sick sculpts. I'd put those at the top. The game-res stuff is just badly presented,…
Alright, I think I'm almost done. Speak now or forever hold your peace, I'm about to start sorting out how I'm going to present this all. I only have a few little texture tweaks (mmmn seams), then in my eyes, I'm more or less done. I've been working on this for 7 million years and I'm a little tired of it. If anyone has…
I'm at a non-games company now. Wayfair. I help run a group of around 70 artists doing 3d rendering. Every single person (except receptionist) has a standing desk. There are about 3200 people here, 7 floors filled with standing desks! It's insane how much they spend on office equip and supplies. But hey it's corporate…
I like the way you've done the leaves on the silver birches, but the trunks look like they could do with a few more poly's to get it looking a bit more natural: the trunks should be more bendy and thin. I like your hard surfaces, could you show us the spec and normal maps for the robot? Also, there's nothing to give the…
Be sure if you can work with kids. I had some practice in school and hell no. I'm definately not good kids teacher. Or teacher at all. And age group matters. From my little experience it was best to teach really young ones like 7-9 years old. Less noisy, easier to get some attention and excitement from them, which is…

I don't think you're necessary obligated to play games to improve your art. But you should never feel obligated to NOT play games. Or feel guilty for playing a game. Can't make art 24/7, you need to relax sometimes. Just don't play for 8 hours a day. Personally I do think I have benefited a lot from observing how they do…
Hey. Im big fan of ancient Rome and in particular of the game Ryse Son of Rome. Even after 7 years game looks incredible! I admire people who made it. I choose concept from Karakter (thank you!), which they did for Crytek. In general, no changes, except for cut off parts (to get in the correct aspect ratio), which I will…
