I'll throw in my 2 cents : The fact that DDO doesn't seem to have a "save project as" function is really problematic and is one of the reasons why I don't find it safe to use. Saving iterations is pretty much the most basic way of working safely when not having access to a revision control system. Now the tech itself is…
There's always plenty of work for a character artist to do whether it's full-time or freelance. You just have to have work good enough for people to want to hire you. And chances are if you're at a good studio you aren't going to be sitting there waiting very long for your next task, that's why jobs like art managers and…
@BagelHero, I can't thank you enough for the advice! There was a tutorial from a guy named Matt Thorup who made a video called "Intro to Zbrush and Character Design" who emphasized on how the planes of the face are important before trying to detail everything. Since then, the same reference you linked was the one he…
[ QUOTE ] Thats the job of concept artists/ [/ QUOTE ] Hmmm.. Well.. Hmmm.. I admit the guy who told me was a designer, and not in the art department. (He tried calling over a animator about my modeling questions at first.. heh). This was with Flying Labs who is working on a MMOG 16th/17th century pirates game. So all…
Not sure why everyone's bent out of shape on what the specs may or may not be. We're talking about a handheld that has, at the very least, better than wii u graphics. This should excite anyone who works in games, just from the standpoint of interaction. How many titles on steam have only local multiplayer ?Towerfall…
[ QUOTE ] The cost is negotiable, or if you are extremely good, I can pay you for your work. [/ QUOTE ] It may have helped to include that in your first post. Probably everyone who posted in this thread before me is more than capable enough to make money off of their work, and, while I'm not sure, I wouldn't be suprised if…
Getting people to think about good thoughtful real world, functional design isn't really a bad thing. It's one thing to make something that looks badass, and its another to make something badass that's functional. As someone who continually cleans up messes of people who don't ever think about motion or function I have to…
I dont want to keep getting off topic but.... You missed my point. The argument that sprunghunt was making was that God himself sanctioned rape. When Lot had the two male guests (who were angels) the whole city came and wanted to rape the two male guests. Lot made a terrible suggestion of offering his two daughters to…
48 hours is six working days. Not unusual for an art test. Unpaid, there are arguments for and against. https://polycount.com/discussion/214245/unpaid-art-tests-why-is-this-even-a-thing Publishing the results of the test is extremely unusual. I would not agree to this, no matter how eager I was to work for them. Showing it…
We've had this recent discussion with one of my friends. It's such a complex discussion but I think we have to talk about it. I don't know about you guys, but when I say I wanna work in CG art, nobody takes my career choice seriously (not even my parents sadly). For my friends who study in engineering and science, I'm…
