Ideas are never original. Combinations of ideas are original. Failure to understand this makes creativity difficult. Creativity is a rather simple process. Take things you know and add things you normally wouldn't expect to go with them. Analyze, experiment, refine, repeat. It doesn't have to be rigid on in that order, but…
Hey! Wow, people got really fast on this one ! @PeculiarSana, nice blockout! One thing I see on your work for now is that it doesn't feel like the tree roots are sitting on the ground as much as they do on the concept. I'd say you could make their point of contact with the ground much closer to the tree, a bit like that (I…
Yea I agree. One can of soda weighing in at 160 calories, it's a killer. Liquid calories are the worst for ya, they metabolize faster than things your body has to work to break down and because it runs right through your stomach, you get this quick full bloated feeling then that quickly disappears and you're still hungry…
For improving the first thing you need to do is lookup some basic understanding of proportions and female anatomy. I personally like Andrew Loomis books but there are plenty of other sources. The average female height is typically considered 7 - 7.5 heads and so on, proportions of every limb is measured by the character…
See there's your problem, Richard. Attitudes towards women? Minorities? You read into it WAAAAAY too much. Was Avatar awesome? Yes. Was it a "good" movie? No. Shitty story, shitty acting. "Unobtainium"? Give me a break. But it was FUN. Same with Tron Legacy. Same with every Rambo movie. Same with Star Wars or Running Man…
Hmmm, I work many hours per week on my modelling/texturing job. I have plenty of ideas swimming around in my head for what I would like to create for myself...just isn't enough time. I want to get better at digital painting and drawing, so whenever an opportunity arises I sit down and draw/paint and post here. I can't help…
Hello Polycount! Kenton_TS and I are teaming up to create a very special throne: A Techno Lich's! The core idea is a throne that uses incredibly advanced machinery to keep whomever sits upon it alive. The King that possesses this throne would be completely insulated from death by the wonders of technology, free to rule…
I just used html5 as an example... and the development of html5 has involved all the browser brands. In the end, they all agreed on these standards, yet MS is still not sticking to them. They didn't in the past either. I develop with ASP.net too... currently for web applications. I rarely use any of the asp controls…
Thanks to all who commented! Ocarian: Slage is looking pretty sweet! Also, thanks for the link to the prop sheets! They'll be helpful when I get around to texturing my props! I have a link to a texture artist from Naughty Dog who has some awesome textures on his site. I'm going to be using them as reference, but the link…
I would echo the previous comments about the WiPs, to me it feels as though you are jumping to the portfolio presentation stage a little too early. I'd suggest focusing on giving yourself a set time frame to complete 1,2 maybe 3 pieces of work to the highest standard. Whilst you're completing them, take the usual…
