Re: Are 3D character artists less in demand than environment artists?
* mega post inbound :P * I never said you have to be at raf grassettis level to get a job or have a hope of getting a job, I said thats what top tier talent looks like, and the closer you can get your skills to that level the easier things become.

Re: Feeling lost and hopeless out of education as a games artist

Re: [Portfolio] Ezra Lau, 3D Artist
Then why do you have a dedicated website? Ontopic: Presentation Your content is spread too thin. You have 3 slow turnarounds per character. A 10k-poly normal mapped character + zbrush sculpt warrants that. A 2k-triangle, 512² lowpoly model doesn't. I also don't care enough about pears to look at one for six seconds. I'm… -
Re: Article on Formal Art Training
Hmmm, I don't know if you understood the article correctly if you think I'm telling people not to get a formal education. I think they are quite valuable when done right.
