@piorAlso didn't have a drawing tablet at the time, actually still don't but currently looking at XPen's Artist 12 for what I want to do plus within budget of what is affordable. As for using AD to sketch with, well once I became comfortable dealing with each layer - masked curve grouping and various output settings this…

The core gameplay loop, UI, and Newtonian physics are already coded in and playable using programmer-art greyboxes.I need a hard surface artist to step in and replace those greyboxes so I can…
Hello everyone! I would like to announce that we’ve finally completed our final year project film! I haven’t updated this thread in a while since we were fully focused on production and polishing for submission, but I wanted to share the final result along with some behind-the-scenes progress. Huge thanks to everyone…
I’ve been trying to get cleaner highlight flow on this model, but I keep running into issues where the highlights feel muddy or break abruptly — especially on larger surfaces and edges. I’m working in Toolbag using HDRI + a few lights. From a modeling standpoint the surfaces should be clean, but the highlight flow still…

If you want to…
I think you've already got a good understanding of how this kind of anime post-processing works based on your initial post (a faint blurring on a duplicate of the lines layer, some glow effects on the flats, some color correction, and so on). But, attempting to recreate it on your own lines and flats loosely based on a ref…
I'll reframe your post a bit of what I understood, correct me if I'm off or wrong : " I want a job that actually moves me forward not just a resume filler, but experience I can be proud of and showcase. At the same time, I need fair pay and a stable company, not one that exploits me or might collapse any day. I’m looking…
I'm coming back to the US after more than a decade abroad, would like to work in a walkable/bikeable city on the west coast. I'll be available in a couple months. I will partake of the free office coffee and you guys can hear me swear whenever Zbrush crashes, it'll be great fun. I do a lot of scifi and fantasy stuff. I've…
Thanks for the feedback and the great references, really appreciate it. @Eric Chadwick =) You’re right about the mid-level shapes feeling a bit blobby, I went back in and focused on cleaning up the forms, defining planes more clearly, and adding sharper breaks between layers. Also pushed the silhouettes a bit more and…
