I didnt start till 30 ish. Age means nothing in the creative industry. If your portfolio is good you'll get work. I dont think age comes into it when you are an artist. I doubt i'll ever retire. I might slow down a bit in old age. But i'll always be creating something. I expect at 65 i'll be freelance and hopefully i'll be…
Sorry to hear that Obscura...here's my take on it. There are plenty of fish in the sea. When it comes to being an artist who needs to maximize their creativity without any negative energy, then usually the best course is to nip it in the bud, before it gets out of hand. You both will end up being the better for it. I mean…
Yes. They have me on contract. I want to work for them full time, because it means stability and more pay. But I also want to look for full time positions at other companies while I work at this vfx place full time. Using the work I've created for them to advertise myself. the VFX gig is nice, but not creative in the…
Yea, this definitely depends on the studio. My previous company had a great AD and character lead who gave feedback while the character artists often exchanged critique. It was an amazing environment to work in, learn in, and grow from. Right now, I have a slightly different situation in which the feedback process consists…
Still messin. Don't know if i'm diggin the shoulders, but i wanna push the silhouette somehow..... PeterK: Thanks man! I'm still not totally happy with them, doesn't feel like it flows too well. Vinterdragen: Cheers! Any thoughts on how I can push it further? The contest looks to be drawing in some good talent, and I…

So today I doodled up two "intent" drawings, which I like to do when I have a good feeling about how I want to go about a project. I do this before I look up reference as to not fill the pot and let my own creativity flow. Now that I have a visual idea of where I'd like to go with these two skin Ideas, I'm going to start…
Lots of character to this walk :) Only minor things i'm picking up on are a few knee/leg pops, more obvious in his right leg. There doesn't appear to be any overlap or not enough on his back hand on one of the cycles. I understand you're trying to keep things asymmetric but maybe that needs a bit more movement? Then the…
While I agree that "fighting through it" can be a good attitude, I think it's important to realize that when a creative act feels painful, it most likely is because one is not giving oneself the proper means required to reach the desired goal. For instance "I suck at drawing/painting/modeling profiles ! Therefore I must…
Loved that game. Wasn't it done by like one guy aswell? Double Fine is easily my fav studio right now. The creativity and games coming out of them are out of this world. I'd easily go there if I ever got the chance and a fair deal :) Fun fact: My girlfriend who's not a gamer is a big fan of every (Maybe not iron brigade)…
