Before you dive into all the myriad of software and techniques out there, learn the fundamentals. Its way too easy to get overwhelmed with the amount of software out there. If you decided you wanted to be a pilot, would you start by flying fighter jets from an aircraft carrier - worrying about which one to use first? No,…
Hey Everyone! Alright, so I've gotten to sketch and paint around on this bad boy for the last couple nights. So I guess I'll just share my experience so far. Packaging was very nice. It seemed very secure and nicely protected. It came with a pen, no extra nibs, a pen holder that clips into the back of the monitor,…
Finally finished this gosh darn thang. Still lots of room for improvement and things I want to add and tweak, but it's time to move on. The scene was designed with a point and click adventure in mind, so this is the angle it would appear in game. I laid it out in a way so that they player would always be visible. The…
My entry will be in pdf when I submit it to Riot; here's the pasted story in case anyone wants to read it. ***** I could feel the purple one's energy miles away, reaching out to me on humming violet tendrils. By the thorned gods, she was fantastic! I was drunk on her essence before she reached the birdhouse, clattering…
After switching my portfolio galleries over to SimpleViewer, I decided to revamp my portfolio for 2008. As I was going back over some of the stuff, I realized most of it is from late 2006 or before and starting to show its age. Zero, spec, or bump maps to be seen, and no high poly sculpting... I haven't been slacking so I…
I want to start this post by saying why this would be so rewarding and fun for any fantastic character artists reading this post: I have already created a host of fish: cute coral fish, orca whales, piranha's... Their base meshes are solid, the Uv's are good to go, and I use a decal system embedded in the fish shader to…
Hi everyone. There is kind of a rant with the drawings of this post so here is the tl;dr version : I never finish my drawings and I really want to complete this one, I think it is the right place to show it and make it better. So here I am with a sketch that I drew during last night Overwatch Contenders (Rogue was quite…
What Farfarer said. You can't expect people to view your Website with a maximized browser, assuming they are viewing it on a PC at all. Ideally it should shift its formatting based on the browser size. I believe the term is "responsive web design." I would recommend a sans-serif typeface, as they are cleaner and easier to…
Hi Everybody - I´ve been silent far too long, but now it is time to break the silence. One of the reasons that I´ve been so silent is the fact that I´ve been far too lazy those last months, I don´t have much to show - but I intend to change that. Some short words about me (the long and boring edition can be found in the…
Thanks so far everyone. Slum,first off, I would say going with a polymer clay rather than earth clay. That is definently a personal prefrence. But I enjoy working with something that is virtually mess free, and doesn't need to have wet rags placed over it when you're done working on it for the day. Plus you don't need a…
