Re: Character Art Progress Report and Creativity vs. Commercial Appeal
Thanks everybody for the advice so far. @DemonPrincess, I'll definitely take your advice to heart on my recent project. I'm looking to dive head first into Unity for rendering.

I think the modeling is pretty good and so are your diffuse textures. Right now though, your characters look like they only have diffuse textures. I would really focus on material definition.

I like the modeling and its good to show of all the maps and wireframe. But i miss alittle more detail in the textures. They look pretty clean. So I would improve more on the textures by putting more wear and tear on it or you could drop all the textures and make nice clayrenders. That way you will bring the best out of…
