all i can say, and this is totally a biased opinion, is to not let anime fans take control... there is a local art / sketch group that has been around for a long while, and when the originators left for fulltime jobs, a couple of anime fanatics took control.. meetings turned from focusing on good drawing to "hey you check…
I'm a huge fan. I got to meet Dave back in Oct. at Gigantour, and pre-ordered the album. The new songs sound great, and I've been rocking out to them every morning at work. Sleepwalker is my favorite so far. Can't wait to play along to it. The World Needs a Hero was a nice change of pace, but grew old quickly. The System…
Appreciate the replies. I think maybe what I'm missing is the jaw muscles. I also think the start of the neck (erm, body?) is too far away from the end of the mouth, looking at refs the mouth almost hinges right at that point. The piece itself is much more square than this however. He also seems to be a bit lumpy at the…
Hello! Thread started for another portfolio piece, the 'overland jeep' a mishmash of parts and custom fabbed parts, I wanted to visualize a build before I started cutting/grinding/welding in the garage... Well the months went on and my current income doesn't allow for anything but glacial-slow parts/tools acquisitions- so…
it was always characters but yes, eventually if you really enjoy stuff you "fan" out to the other aspect of the creation pipeline which is a good change of pace and could help with the "main" choice. For drawing anyway i took and environmental idea and made those into characters so meshing the two works for me here is an…
I understand, but what about shapes like that: http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/12301129/aview/MAKO-FAB-MIKI_1.jpg ? I am talking about these 9 "plates", or "parts" under main body of this grip. I tried to do them like in screens in my first post, and lp looks pretty good, I have nice silhouette thanks to that technique but…
There's not really much you can do about it unfortunately. Pretty much any job you look at will have hundreds of people applying within hours of the job ad being posted so you wont be getting away from that even if you change careers. AI is threatening all fields so there's no getting away from that either unless you want…
Just wanted to write down my thoughts and what I’ve learn so far I don’t really feel like there’s many good tutorials on how to capture a likeness probably cause the main talent it requires is observation. At this stage I’m really trying to come up with a step by step process that doesn’t have me aimlessly sculpting, I…

Hey Everybody!! I've just been posting this process so far in discords but I thought I'd make a post here to document the whole process a bit better. This scene started out as a blocktober piece, but I got really stuck into it the past few nights and now I'm planning on taking it to a fully finished scene. I am a big fan…
