Hey man, very nice stuff :) Weapon looks great, although again the values seem kinda subtle and dark - I feel like you could really push the contrast to make the details pop more (obviously would like to hear other's opinions about this.) This is a bit of a botched job as I just stuck a brightness/contrast filter on it,…
This looks like a good start! I agree with the above about adding in some more contrast, a lot of the pop you get from contrast in value can be achieved from the light direction, which feels a bit ambiguous at the moment. If the light direction is hitting from top down, you need to reflect that in all the materials more…
keep working hard man, and if you really push yourself you will eventually get there! In my opinion, the "trick" to getting a job is really all about making yourself a better artist in the shortest amount of time possible. Of course, you need to crank out hours and hours of work everyday, but really making the best of that…
