My nit pick. At the moment my eyes are drawn to the lanterns and I feel as if I should be paying attention to his face. His face however just is not as interesting, so I think either making the eyes brighter or the lanterns darker may compensate. Adding detail to his facial region such as glowing runes that he could…
I have to second a particle system eventually. The advantages to having a minis scene are great. For example: Let us say that I was presenting an arena net art test, and I wanted to have a fire effect, it would add a decent amount of atmosphere mixed with smoke coming out the back. Animated texture things, I could make the…
I tried recording a rock sculpt I was doing at work... it kept crashing my Zbrush then deleted the saved mov file... >.> I think something external (ie Fraps) might be better... The one thing I am noticing with mostly everyone's rocks here (cept Bugo's) is that they are too carefully carved out. Rocks are nature, nature is…
First off- great job this is seriously pimp. Your materials, in comparison to the concept shot... they seem to be missing something and I can't quite put my finger on what it is... the concept seems to have slightly noisier materials than the ones in your scene... but it's not a fine point noise... it's kindof a splotchy…
Lol yep. Even with no direct coordination with AS the end result would be the same. Most artists are excited to post their professional work. Sometimes when you do paid work you have to wait years to show it off, sometimes you're never given permission to claim it as your own. So naturally, as soon as the gag order is…
I agree with ZacD, dont be afraid to start over, I know its an assignment so starting over is probably out of the question, but in the future remember anatomy and reference are your best friends especially when your doing faces. Believe me I had the same assignment when I was in High School and it came out about the same…
Praetus I actually like latest update you posted. Forms play nicely together there and that's all you could wish for. I don't like making crits about proportions because that's often arguable and you can pretty much sell any crazy shape with some skill. Only thing I'd do is identify some tension points where form turns…
His skin lacks the armored appearance that's distinct to crocodillians; at the moment, he looks more like a lizard-man than a 'gator. Take a look at actual alligator skins; the ridges along the back are the most prominent, but all of the scales have a noticeable separation from their neighbor: The feet feel rather blobby…
I'm no pro but here goes my critique and advice. More reference! I think having an entire folder of reference helps with any design/concept/sculpt. Get around 20 or pictures of the tank and look at it very closely. I think the main thing that jumps out at me is that you're overlooking the details. You have a good overall…
thb I think the price level for cgma courses are a steal. Traditional art school is what....$10k-60k a year? a couple cgma courses for $1.2k or whatever they are, focused on your niche and you could be well on the way to being industry ready. you are literally learning from pros actually in the industry and not some old…
