Wow bowled over by the genuine support and helpful crits guys I really appreciate you taking the time to take a look through the folio and give me your thoughts. I’ve more work to do it seems and grown a bit complacent without regular contact with industry types. I’ll look at ways to improve that and make more connections.…
I've spent the last 18 months freelancing on kid's TV pilots - one last year had a multi-ethnicity cast with a black lead and at least two of the major broadcasters have refused to pick it up for it being 'too ethnic'. The latest one I've been working on I pushed hard to have any kind of ethnic characters represented at…
Hi Alexandra, A few notes, I think for the lighting if you look at the shadow under the nose of the concept and match that, you will hit the lighting. for chaos' face (funny writing that) finding some good reference of a face you like could help you make decisions. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/83598136814095860/ or the…
@sltrOlsson - To be honest, I don't even know how those rocks got made man. There is only one explanation. Haha, so I put together a little tut for the rock today. I won't be getting too much into the specifics of the sculpting process, as that is kind of different for everyone, but I will talk about the brushes and…
ok Gavin... you ready buddy? While we all know I am no character artist so I wont pretend to know anything about trapezius medius deltoid cockus muscles or any of that nonsense. So on with the crits on what I see. First up is your cave dude. I really love the style of this guy. I think he can become a very interesting and…
Looking good, that UV unwrap job is a nice one good use of space =) The Ben nailed what I was talking about. You don't need to go as extreme as painting the entire background one color. Just put 1-2px of padding that matches the pieces color around each piece so the alpha mask doesn't pick up and try to blend with the…
Hey Paul, Lovely work so far ! I was looking at your concept final pose and I was thinking you could push it a bit further. I know this is all wip but here is my input :) I feel the horse is lacking the awesome characterization you have given your dark rider. Don't give it a expression but try and push in the noble and…
I think it's decent so far. Just make sure to eliminate the boxiness that can come from working exclusively orthographic. In other words, start manually moving some of the centered edges outwards to give form. No one just starting craps out perfection on the first, second or hundredth attempt. Keep going. Just learn a…
The Great Hall of Trondheim was my first large task for this project. The concept needed to be grounded and striking to the viewer. The idea was that this hall housed all the yarls of neighboring towns when raiding season came about in the summer. It did not belong to one yarl in particular but instead was declared sacred…
Back again and unfortunately I had no time to do these over the past few days. So back on it again for day 13. Quite a bad comeback too in my opinion, the goal was to try and focus on one object solely. and see what would come of it. Im not disappointed per se at the results. But this one actually cut to 40-minutes…
