This looks really cool. But it's very very dark, hard to see all the hard work you put into it. Generally I like to avoid pure blacks, since it's really just filling the frame with a whole lot of nothing. You can still get dramatic lighting without crushing all the shadows into nothingness. I'd suggest adding a soft…
In concept art I've always taken the term hook to just mean an idea which differentiates a design from others of a generic type. I associate the term with double reads and wit in graphic design and advertising more than concept art though. design with hooks in: http://www.turnerduckworth.com/large_screen.html vs style…
Just an heads up, we found our new musician through newgrounds. :) Crazy. There is nothing stopping a person from being both a designer and an artist. There can be overlap. Does being an artist make one automatically a better designer? Hell no, I agree. It does take something more than emulating something else or whatever…
If the aim is to show off level design, then use a placeholder character with default animations. Unless I'm misunderstanding your design intentions, you shouldn't be designing the character animations at all. Your job as level designer is the interactivity and flow of the level itself. That's what you'll be judged on for…
And now you totally lost me ! First of all if no contract was ever involved, then the designs belong to the person who created them, obviously. But if things were being done properly there was a contract signed between the designer and the client clearly stipulating what kind of rights were being granted to the client for…
Hey Mitchell, Here's an essay for you (I don't expect anybody else to read this so I'll address it to you! ;) There's little to no documentation on this area so I'll make a start now. It's too big for me to look through properly but I'll update it if I have anything to add :) I do a bit of UI art at work so I figure I'd…
That's what I've started to pick up on. When I first really got into 3D and making ambitious projects, I felt like the time that it took was just "baked" into the project itself. i.e. you want to make a real-time character? well then it takes xyz amount of hours no matter what. Now I've realized that you could make a…
Yeah it really does free you to experiment constantly with the design, you can change the properties of the fabric on the fly, can literally change the design and sowing patterns and watch the design change in real time. To the people saying this is like cheating, that's comparable to saying designing and making clothing…
Other than usual loc's and only for fun and after obtaining (old designs if available, no1 even talks about) never open the packages (maybe 1 or two i have out of all the ones i did get, only to see what people can do, in the "obtaining" department..), since to busy making my own stuff. Can almost say i never ripped…
Hi ! Great concepts these have really interesting ideas, i think it could get better with more visual cues about their function , make it really clear to the viewer "this device clearns air" this could be combining the antena design with other more function recognizable devices like conditioner airs and dehumidifiers, Also…
