He talked about asset flipping and how a lot of artists try to avoid using other people's assets or downloading free assets or even downloading the assets and modifying them. I'm kind of the same way. I feel like I have to make everything 100% myself or else I will never get a job or that it's dishonest. I'm starting to…
Ok, I've created UVs and projected the polypaint into texture files for the different parts. I've also hollowed out each part to drastically reduce the costs. But since it now seems that we have to keep the printing costs below 250$ (tho I am sure that when I started this two months ago in the prizes all it said was Wacom…
Hello and welcome to my digital sketchbook! My name is Davey Woodward also known by YettiCrush. I'm starting this sketchbook to document my progress as an artist with a goal to improve through both practice and criticism. Please feel free to be as harsh and picky as possible! My Bio: My life as an artist started as a…
Hello. I've always enjoyed drawing. I've done it ever since I was a kid (i'm 32 presently,) but I never got beyond drawing cartoons. I also haven't had any traditional art training or have ever gone to classes. I know practice makes perfect, and I do try and draw every day for a little bit, but for the past few years I've…

few questions: 1) is it working with non square textures now? like 1024x2048? We hardly have any square ones at all. 2) Can I scale any mask /bitmap layer not only by integers? Rather any rational number too, something like 2,35 and cope with the seams higher on the stack. 3) Can I do Photoshop style layers/ floaters also…
Send him this topic and let him read what we wrote, but here is my opinion about. It's pretty rude and in poor taste to hold your brother as a hostage on what simply is an OS choice, and to let his fanboysim be such a point that he would be even a douche to his own brother. Windows 7 is better then XP due to the fact that…
Absolutely 100% worth it even if you are doing "crap jobs". Gaining actual industry experience puts you above every single person who has 0. Your work speed will increase because you will be forced to work to industry standards instead of the "when ever you feel like it" approach to school and personal work. The a…
