Re: Traditional sculpting to improve digital sculpting
I can't talk about traditional sculpting classes themselves because I never took one, but you can get a sense of how sculpting could help you by getting your hands on cheap clay, a couple of popsicle-like sticks and just trying it. Sculpting can be a very cheap hobby, you just need the time and patience. The reason I'm… -
Re: The other half of the Starving Artist experience: Homeless Artist
Good luck GarageBay9, I know exactly where you're coming from. I struggled working in the games industry for only 4-5 years (I'd been an animator/illustrator in online publishing previously) and decided to leave a full time gig at a small studio where I was the only artist and got no leave/super entitlements and had no… -
Re: Degree's and Internships
What Ikken said. You have to re-evaluate your priorities. Do you really need to go to school? Even if its free? Its just like saying you want to get a degree in Engineering as a backup plan. It will take all your time for the next 4 years, putting you 4 years behind the competition in the game industry. Most people here… -
Re: Breaking into the Industry: School Vs Self Taught
Found work as a 3d modeler for a local company. Didn't last long when economy went bust, but I'm currently on a sweet gig for a defense contractor (plus the drawing job). In between 3d gigs (studio animator to modeler) I did unrelated jobs to pay the rent and work on my 2d skills off hours. Low pay for sure than what I was… -
Re: TRON - VEHICLE - Conor
Yeah man, I am working at BigAnt studios. What a small world. I was chatting with a mate at work you might remember him from the old Tantalus days. David Morrissey, anyway he tells me you teach at RMIT, way to go. I studied multimedia there before getting into the games world. I have to say when I have had my fill of games… -
Re: Learning Modo by myself...give me some input, please.
I want to mostly hard surface stuff first and stick with it for a while. I started out by studying studio art with tons of figure drawings, but I always loved to draw and design robots. Now I am kinda stuck in a rut and need to build a new skill just to keep my brain rolling. Actually that was the very reason why I started… -
Re: Question about working Game Industry (as 3D Artist)
There is a GIGANTIC difference between doing absolutely whatever you want, exploring your creativity, vs holding down a gig at a game studio. If you end up studying Computer Science, and get work as a programmer, and then do cool game art on your own, you might be much happier than your previous plan. Working as a game… -
Re: What are you working on? 2014 Edition
Awesome work and studies guys!:poly121: A color and light study from a photo ref: N&B values study from N.C Wyeth's work. This kind of study is one of the fastest and best "101 illustration practice habit" I can think of : (edit: hmm, should this had been posted in the "sketch" thread? I'm kind of confused cause I see more… -
