@sinusoid Seeing as my responses thus far have not been particularly constructive I will add this: Portal, Antichamber, FEZ, Braid, and Quantum Conundrum. You'll notice that these are all puzzle games. Portal being particularly noteworthy because it has actually been used in research and demonstrated to improve cognitive…
I really love the details such as the companion´s skull, the small trap on the belt and the hook on the shoulder piece, really made me smile! The bone gauntlets also look really cool and interesting. If she has such a "deep" connection or affection for bones, you could also make her weapon out of a creature which was most…
Thanks to some suggestions from 3levan, I decided to add a new set of fins to the Siren, and also to make a slight redesign for them as well. The new fins are attached to her feet, which I originally avoided because I was worried any sort of fins on the feet would hamper mobility on the land [I'm envisioning her as an…
well they have the permission and support of ea to do it and enter the contest, a loing while it was not sure if they could enter because of the copyrights rules for the contest, but ea talked to epic and they are now allowed as they don't break any copyright laws. I think they could do better with less copyxing of the…
Long story short... started up a BRAWL entry (which can be found here), and after getting a little bit into it, decided that the piece would benefit most from working together with my good friend Eric Priestley on the concept art. Seeing as BRAWL is a strictly one man show, I am dropping out of the BRAWL competition and…

I did have some issues with my bakes which could have been remedied by spending more time tweaking values. Overall I spent maybe only 1 hour (including all baking time) in order to generate maps from my high polys without using…
So much has happened this week in and around our community and if you've been living under a rock or just twiddling your thumbs waiting for it to rain skittles, then this re-cap is for you! The week kicked off with a bang with the long awaited launch of the new Polycount. Not only did our members get treated with a new…
LC - while I totally understand where you are going with this (examining existing models is by all means a great way to learn about the technicalities of game art), I think the elephant in the room is that one would expect a Uni teaching game art to already have access to such content to begin with. If I am not mistaken…
Totally agree with that, people will not randomly get to your Gumroad profile and buy stuff, it's not like let's say the UE4 marketplace where people have a chance of browsing and find your work. In the end, it's as good as you can promote it. That seems like an over-simplification to me. Maybe you are selling the best…
