I`m not a modeller or anything, but I do think there is a vast difference between Stylized Art and Eastern Art. When I hear Eastern Art, I immediately think anime. But I wouldnt classify the pictures you just posted as anime. Stylized, for sure. Not not anime. I've seen portfolios thrown out (or deleted) MANY times because…
Well, the most difficult part of the anime style is the face without a doubt. If you are serious about making this type of characters without a doubt you must sit down and and sculpt/retopo anime style faces whenever you can. Believe me you'll understand :)
I think too Stylized and Eastern Art are different. Especially with anime, but when a 3d model of anime comes into my mind i first think of 3d printed models and not so many games, it fits better with 2d i guess. But if you talk about idealism i find eastern games have more of that, many MMO's or even Final Fantasy series…
technical route may be a bit more difficult...or maybe not... experience or a good folio that shows skill is what counts. For example, finding people who're good in Max, Maya, ZB, is easy. What's difficult to find? People who can create shaders, lighting or do optimization in UE4. Stuff that often requires some actual…
Yeah... I need to work on variety soon. But damn I love modeling this cute shit so much! I don't know why. This is something that I kinda want to aim to. The thing with anime art in the west is that most people look down on you for it (well that's the impression I've got over the years). I think because most people who try…
So from what i understand, it is not common for westerners to go and work there, but it isn't out of the question. The anime industry in the last decade has really opened up to it. If you are good at Japanese here is what you do. Find every Japanese games company you like the look of, write them an email in Japanese,…
Hmm i think i saw it too, i think you need a professional title so they give you one to work outside your country. I'm getting a software engineer title in 1 year but does it coun't if i'm traveling for an art position? shakerzero i don't have portfolio yet, started like 2 years ago into 3d but actually i'm working on…
there is no harm in having a personal style of art that you love to see or do. But if you want to make it in this industry, you absolutely must be open minded and flexible enough to create any style of art that you're asked to make.
Muzz - That would have come into my mind if i had found at least 1 website that shows they are recruiting to work there. I've been studying japanese for 4 years, my eyes haven't morph yet but is decent to survive in Japan. Do you know any site that actually post jobs to go there?
