@Tom_Axler The time frame is there to provide that structure that can be useful when simply trying to overcome the choice paralysis of where to start that's so easy to get into. In the end though, reaching the finish line is the most important part and I'm grateful that both you and @LeonDreiling kept at it. Just finishing…
If you are going to revamp your folio, I would suggest making brand new pieces...not just trying to update your current ones. As mentioned, there is a lot wrong with those from the base anatomical and proportional phase. You would literally have to redo the hires sculpts to improve them drastically. If you are going to fix…
Hi All, I'ts been a very long time since I've done any animation and have been wanting to get back into it. I use to do it when I got my BS in Video Game Art and Design. Been a while though because I've focused on concept art/illustration but I want to get back into animation. Need some updated reminders on where to get…
Evening folks, after selling my machine and relocating, it's time to get a new one now that I have settled in. What I need some help with is what monitor to get. Not a big deal but figured I'd check if anyone has something to recommend. My previous monitor was a 22" wide with 1680x1050 res. If anyone know of a good wide…

So I'm just getting my toes wet in ZBrush. I've learned most of the major opening pit falls from getting something on screen that you can actually edit, to knowing how to correctly save a project. I've got something I want to sculpt and a concept for it: From what I understand about the program I'm going to need to learn…
I work in finance right now. Getting jobs in finance is completely different to getting jobs in art. With finance you need to have shiny words on your resume. With art you need a shiny portfolio. Get crackin' on that portfolio and don't listen to your brother's advice! Once I get a job as an artist, I'm not making anybody…
So trying to use muticut to add the muscle shapes i've ended up with tri's but can never work out how to get rid of tri's :( If I collapse an edge the tri disappears but the next quad along becomes a tri. If I cut a tri in half all I get is a 2nd tri. Maybe getting rid of the tri's is something for later and I shouldn't be…
You're not an art machine (unless you actually are then I'm sorry your a robot) so don't get down for being human. It's natural to have a flow to things. Instead of fighting it and making bad art and not enjoying it, take a break. Watch movies, play games, paint, draw, and surf polycount is usually what I do when I get in…
