Hi! I'm not an environment artist (yet) but I'm also working towards becoming one. I've been diving into tutorials online, and I found this resource being recommended on reddit: http://www.environmentartist2b.com/index.html It has a ton of great tutorials. When I started learning I worked from tutorial to tutorial, but I'd…
Sorry guys your right about not having background on this. Well in all honesty I did want this to be an oasis type area...date palms and some walls and buildings as if this was some kind of middle class residence over in the Mideast. My end goal is to use this on a new demo reel as a background environment to place a US…
I agree that these are simply the best environments I've experienced in a game. And another thing about the environments is how tightly the game play revolves around them. In every scene I feel like I'm really getting to crawl all over every wall and surface. Remember the puzzle with the gigantic dagger hanging in the air?…
Seems like someone took a bunch of assets out of an asset storefront and cobbled this together. Has sci-fi type light beams on the bookcases, yet the light fixtures in the room and on the tables scream early century. The end of the rooms and archway don't match the architecture, and no way this got built without windows on…
It really depends on the studio you work at and the contract you get. You could end up at a studio that mainly outsources, like me, and they have multiple projects at once and you can get offered another project if you work well on your first. Alternatively you could end up at a studio that has only a few games on the go,…
First, I envy you for having time to do something this awesome Second, I envy you for doing this as I love Zelda and it never crossed my mind to even try and do this Third, I think you've done an awesome job! :D Fourth, I'm sure you've covered it somewhere in this thread but I gotta get ready for work and don't have time…
I agree it should end in January, but we could also start now and just let it run to the end of Jan (bonus time!). Then just have it a solid month for each month following the Dec/Jan challenge. Also, are we going to be working off of the same concept picture like the environment noob challenges or are we going to just…
I still want Stalker quite a bit actually, the game still looks DAMN good, sorry it's not Crysis . It looks great because more FPS games need to be open ended like STALKER aims to be, I want more FPS games to incorporate those RPG elements in a open ended environment, something rare unfortunately. Something comparable to…
I'm just curious, but how is being an artist or programmer not being a developer? You can have a game without an artist but you can't have a game without a programmer, but the fact is, if you want to make anything that comes close to meeting modern game standards, then good luck doing it without dedicated artists. As for…
Thanks for critiques. Applied the critiques you mentioned (except for the pose, will probably work on that next) focusing on the environment. And also some critiques other people gave me. First Version: Second Version:
