It's an interesting read Ben and is most definitely sound advice for the most part. I do feel it could use a little 'optimization' though. It's just a little on the fat side. Also I think it's written slightly too much from your personal perspective with your experiences woven in there as If it were fact. For example I…
choo-choo-doo, choo-choo-doo, katamari da-ma-sheeeeeeeee-ee-eeee is what i say to mr. frumpy pants who wrote the article in question. if it doesnt speak to you anymore, might be time to find a new hobby, 'cause games still make me feel like a kid edit: sure the industry has problems and there's a lot of retreading old…

A typeart is called font. And there are multiple kinds of fonts, but the most important difference is with serif and sans serif fonts.…
Some thoughts in no particular order: * Put your contact details at the very first page somewhere unobtrusive, minor gripe, * ("The Survivor" and "Cartoon Warrior") Skip the characters. They feel unfinished and a bit flat, lacking anatomy and structure. Unless your goal right this minute is to become a character artist,…
