One additional thing to try is to do some pixel art with a predefined palette. Ofcourse, with pixel art you use no blending at all, just the pencil tool at 100% opacity, which makes for an interesting challenge. Here's some I tried myself: This character was drawn using only colors from the Avatar Palace, which is a…
the thing about chess is it is extremely intuitive and easy to learn the rules. This moves like that, this moves like that, now try to take the king. Learning how to play is simple with very few barriers to new players, it's the interactions between pieces which creates the enormous depth. I strongly believe that…
This isn't your unearthly challenge is it? Because all entries must be displayed in real time. http://www.unearthlychallenge.com/2009/challenge/en_rules.php Yea it wasn't that way the first week or so of the contest.

Here's the few WIP shots I already have with some comments.…

I'll try to post as often as I can and any critiques or comments are welcome. To start, here's all the references / mood boards I'm using. To start, here's the clothes…
This is something I revived a little over a week ago. I first started her back in May for one of the Polycount Challenges and never finished, but recently decided to give her a make over. The plan is to import her into UT2k4. But the recently announced "War General" challenge is going to delay that, so I'm showing her now.…
I've had an interesting experience with Monster Hunter Freedom U this last couple weeks and wanted to hear your own humorous but equally disturbing stories on the subject of game inspired fits of psycho behaviour. I've never been too susceptible to raging whilst gaming, but man... Monster Hunter. Actually broke my PSP…
Wait, come back - this isn't another 'lack of motivation' thread! More so the reasoning behind people's motivation to their art. I started talking with a few people on polycount noob challenge Skype group about this and got some interesting points about why they do game art and what makes them keep wanting to continue with…
Boy, It's been a while. Moved countries. Switched lives. Time to post again. I challange you to guess and IP this guy's from. I figured, one - I now have a favorite one dimensional character. For a hire-modeler, a portfolio should telegraph the right messaging.
