I am a long time lurker on these forums and a very infrequent poster. But I really want to get better at this whole "ART" thing. I am going to be honest what actually motivated me to even start trying to enter this contest was a YouTube Video that (I wish I could remember the specific one) said that the way that he got so…

So I am going to dip my toe into the cesspool here. Admittedly I have only skimmed the thread so I have probably missed some good discussion. One of the biggest mistakes any particular person could make I feel is forcing a particular viewpoint onto anyone else (which hey is part of why this thread exist in the first…

I put together a bunch of helmet designs that are now up for grabs ; some are already attributed but there are…
Hey @finchrupert! I think it can be as simple as knowing what sites are better known by online art communities or which ones do a yearly or monthly (or once in a while) challenge. ArtStation, Cubebrush, and Polycount have contests now and again, so I would keep an eye on their forums, twitters, or facebook pages and wait…

While you were on very detailed things, progression looked really slow (by "slow" I mean "quick as a lightning" compared to me ^^) but just the blocking of the armor already looks like a big step forward. It's sad that you can't make it before the end of the contest but I…
