Re: Sd.Kfz.182 Pz.Kpfw.VI Ausf.B "Königstiger" (Henschel Turret)
Hi Sacboi Looking good! Quick question though, is this thus far just the high poly and you intend to bake down into a game ready version? If so, i have a couple of comments. Keep an eye on those edges, you may want to overemphasize them, so while not being as real world accurate, they will bake down in the normal map… -
Re: David Milligan Sketchbook
A good rule of thumb with your occlusion pass - especially where it is applied to skin - don't leave it a flat black. It's the same logic when you're painting, you never want to paint shadows or really anything a flat black, it pulls the life out of the piece and looks unnatural. This could help out -… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly CHARACTER ART Challenge | August- September
Greetings. I'm a bit stuck right now so I was wondering if somebody has some time to give me some C&C. I'm not going to deep on details or I m trying not to, as I want to try to make them as I texture don't really know if its the right answer but I want to try that out. I feel like something is wrong like a lot of thing's… -
Re: How to inspire artists to learn?
I don't have specific experience beyond some people back in high school with similar mentalities. For them this kind of thing was mostly personal, the kind of thing where a "Where do you see yourself in 5 years" would clearly reveal. If you're trying to reach her, I think finding out what she want's out of her work is step… -
Re: Focusing on Blizzard's hand painted style?
You shouldnt have to make those either or decisions, while its ok to start with one and lead to another, I think the worst thing any artist can do is limit themselves as it both reflects on professional options and artistic results. For career purposes, focus on environment and be able to hit both handpainted and… -
Re: Lowpoly handpainted little RPG scene
You might want to look at controlling the pallet a little more. Maybe create some colour swatches so you know the range you are going for to help keep things blended. You can see Diablo and Sungeon Siege used blues/greens in the rock and wood textures to keep them all feeling the same. Objects that are useable often stand… -
Re: Switching contracts
The above, but some thoughts from me. Freelance work works both ways. A client can dismiss you tomorrow which is why it is interesting for customers to use temporary artists. If you are being underpaid or mistreated you can stop work anytime you please. If your current client is asking a lot of volume for little return you… -
Re: UDK Castle interior (Image Heavy)
@seir - Yeah man, I was going through some screenshots for uncharted and love the vibrance of their foliage. I guess I went a little overboard!! I´ll knock it back a little to keep things cohesive. @Noors - Hey man, those torches are actually from one of the standard UDK maps but I agree they are a bit on the intense side,… -
Re: Noobie Mistakes
Hey Schrodinger's Backface (Cool name, BTW), Welcome to Polycount. Regarding portfolios, I think you want to know about environment artist portfolios, correct? People tend to put way to many things on them with a varying degree of quality. You only want to put your best work on your portfolio, don't dilute your… -
Re: [Portfolio Review Humble Request] Brian Choi - Character Artist
On your resume, I'd lose the gray rectangle around the headings (EDUCATION, WORK EXPERIENCE, etc.) - bold and caps make the titles stand out already, and if you need more than indent the content. You should probably get a new email address - there's no guarantee that USC will keep the account active, and it makes it appear…
