My general advice for portfolios that work the best- create the portfolio for the job you want. Most art directors when looking at portfolios look for things the resonate with the project they are working on. For example, if your portfolio has a few top notch gun models, an AD making a real world FPS game would be more…
Ultimately, I am unhappy with the final result, though this is more down to my own limitations and inexperience as an artist. Though it did not turn out as envisioned, I do still like the complete design. Many aspects were ultimately missing from my final renders because I did not allow myself enough time to finish…
Please note that I am not upset or angry or (fill in emotional response to critique) before reading further. It would be quite unnecessary for me to go through all of your feedback point by point and illustrate how I have taken into account past feedback (it is simply not noticeable to you or perhaps many others). The only…
How is going back to the gold standard even considered sane or possible? There is a reason he's the only guy talking about shutting down the fed. No one in their right mind can even consider a good scenario where we go back to the gold standard. Even Paul himself has backed away from the issue after being confronted again…
Hey y'all. I am AI graduates in San Francisco myself. Well, I never regret of any of my time going there. I am studying Environment Artist myself. I was new student and knowing nothing about 3D platforms and low quality at hand-drawing sketch, to be honest.. i'd rate myself bit better than just stick-man drawing on my…
Great topic! I've struggeled with the same questions man, as a gamer and as an aspiring game artist. It's interesting to think about... in the beggining game art was a slave to gameplay and things were evolving all the time so nothing really "stuck" and became cliche, in fact game art was absurd. Just go back 20 years and…
What do your studios do for crunch/overtime? Do you normally death march? Do you have 'scheduled crunch' where you schedule for a week every few a year or so out? When you crunch, are you required to stay or can you go when you finish your stuff or don't have something to do? We've certainly had our share of death marches,…
[ QUOTE ] Well done Jo, I know you had it shitty time back there for a bit. I get 5 weeks, and a good salary. [/ QUOTE ] Thanks man, thankfully it all fell into place at the right time, two things i wanted from my next job was a good/proper studio and an exciting project to work on. I found out about this job and studio…
⚒ Spectre Divide - Commons Environment Art ⚒ https://www.artstation.com/artwork/ob3g9q This was the first map that I got my own area of the map (Laundromat, and the Street with the Box Lift) to take from blockout all the way to final art pass (Thank you Jeff and Andy for all the feedback). I spent alot of long nights…
Yeah I just tested it in XP it's fine so yes it's a Vista/Sevenz thing. Maaaaan whenever you will switch (if you ever do!!) be prepared for a lot of little things like that hehe. Especially in Explorer (doesn't remember view settings, doesnt remember categories like Date Modified and such, a pain to stri pdown visually,…
