I think you have wrong texture for the ice. This ice looks too thick, too cold. It's out of place. Will add some interest and realistic detail if you had broken bits of translucent ice. Also makes sense as this seems to be an area of human traffic. this ref isn't exactly what I have in mind but gives an idea. Sometimes you…
Trim textures are a great technique, just recently learned about them. Considering the scope of the scene, and what's going to be presented, it wouldn't hurt to add some more edge loops on the curved part of the arch, and maybe one more level for circular window frame too in the context of this challenge. In regards to…
Beat me too it. Look up Kukris, perfect reference, the exact same blade shape you are going for. Some of the best all around melee weapons of all time for sure. If you have ever held/used one before (I have, and am talking from experience, after using many sidearms that my grandfather owns and being able to hold a cold…
I've done follow ups for all the retail jobs I've gotten, and it helped me get the job. Certain industries like retail this is definitely a key to getting a job. The game industry is different though. I've gotten both of my game industry jobs at reputable companies by sending in my application in response to job postings…
Thank you very much Shogun3d I have been working very hard at making my portfolio stronger and honing my skills. I agree with you about the lighting I want to cool it down a bit because it pop's out my crimson banners that are mounted on the structural pillars but it always looks too bland. So I will give a cold…
I have to agree. The notion that "our" jobs are better than others and every perceived attack on our dreams has to come from a position of bitterness is a pretty arrogant one. It might be true in some cases, especially when the person in question had similar dreams and failed, but the majority of people don't really know…
The project has been slowly progressing. I've made some changes to the original design, though because of that I've had to redo some things, after I realized I wasn't happy with the design. I've tried to figure out how different individual parts should fit together and how I should construct them, which is guided by…
This is looking awesome, Helder! What I'm really liking here is the balance of natural elements with the sci-fi stuff. The composition shows this nicely, going from the metallic darks with sourced lighting from above to the giant window with warm natural lighting and beyond to the fields where it's at its most organic. The…
I really like the belt and the cape on the carnival assassin, and the neck part is also neat. But if you dont mind, that orange color just doesnt fit. I would try a cold yellow, or bloodred instead. The problem is probably that PA is not really a colorful character, shes sort of blending in with that greyish teal and…
Neither is sweatshop work if you go purely by it's definition. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery But does that make it any different? It's psychological slavery and simply abusive. What would you call being forced (be it through peer pressure, fear of losing your job or whatever) to work 100-120h weeks with a mininal…
