I want to build an all-steel 1500lb+ draw weight hand-held arbalest that shoots bolts at 400+fps. Probably not going to happen until I get a job though. Other than that, pretty much what @Zacd said, minus GDC since I'm in China =/
Those Korean monitors are really just good for getting a 2560x1440 ips display for cheap, Monoprice.com has the same panel (I think) for $400 with a 5 dead pixel policy, but still the same cheap stand issues. Some sellers with those panels are starting to show up on Amazon.
For whatever reason I'm unable to see your latest images (last two posts). This makes me a sad panda. Same in every browser I've tried (ie. opera. chrome) I get the 403 error from DB when i try to follow the link manually.
This took me between 15 and 20 minutes to make from scratch - just eyeballing your image. You can't tell me that you seriously cannot optimize that model any better without losing detail. 400 tris, btw. So you've got something to aim for ;)
You can do a lot in photoshop with just a mouse, but concept art isn't one of them. Get a tablet. Wacom has some really affordable tablets that work fine. Don't think you need the $400 beasties. Their cheap tablets are great and will be an excellent investment in your learning.
Add some weight, to make it look more natural, now it looks empty, or like there's no gravity. Also it looks like a new one, never used. Polycount seems quite high for such object (I mean it looks like 400-500tris maximum). Besides above, it looks good. :)
I'm also making one of these, a deffkopta from Warhammer 40k, never liked warhammer, trying to like it now ^^ edit: and oh yeah, its a bit different on the two sides, so its not mirrored, i'll render from the other side next time if im not lazy :P

To do this: - open MAxscript Editor - Put this two lines actionMan.executeAction 0 "40264" -- Views: Expert Mode Toggle actionMan.executeAction 0 "408" -- show command panel - Save this as a script with desired name. For example ExpertModeWithCommandPanel.ms - paste ExpertModeWithCommandPanel.ms to maxroot/scripts/startup…
First Draft - Unedited Edits to make: * Cut 400 words * Specify more why Taliyah needs to learn how to control ice * Specify the fact that Ashe is away from home, closer north (her war camp is between Lissandra and Sejuani's domains) * Grammer/word edits
