Yo yo, sick gun :) I think you need a break up of materials. It looks like a metal smart material was drag n dropped onto the whole thing and called done. If you search up submachine gun on artstation, I'd suggest getting references from there.
Hi, I'm in need of a little bit of life advice here. This is going to be long as I want to cover everything of importance so you get a good understanding of who I am and where in life. If it's too long or boring for you to read I apologize but I would be happy for every advice I get. I am a 24-year-old student of "media…
I wrote this a while ago in response to a thread about feeling lack of motivation for projects. It seems to be pretty relevant again several months later, so I'm posting it as a standalone post/topic: One of the most common questions I see in art and design communities comes from beginning artists who want to know: How do…
Small update for the project. I completed the basic layout of the area, from start to finish. Of course there's still a lot of stuff to add, but at least the basic structure is done, here is a video showing the character going from the entrance to the exit of the area: https://youtu.be/iYYroquuPG4?si=ujOsXcSzDI6bQq6V Also,…
Well, it's finally done. First project on my portfolio and a whole chapter of my life concluded. I'll take a break for a bit, then start running through tutorials.

Hi! I recently got laid off as an art lead / art director at a small studio and decided that for a new portfolio piece I would create a short film from an idea that I have kicking around in my head for a little while now. I don't want to give away the whole story but its a pretty short idea- about 3-4 minutes and Its going…
Hey everyone, I'd like to document the progress of Mer-Mates, a collaborative art project that gemmasuen and I have started. The aim of Mer-Mates is to gain xp creating fun stylized designs and ultimately model up a sketchfab or marmoset viewer diorama. So I'll start off by sharing the idea Gemma sketched up for the…
Hey guys, I'm newly registered to the forum but I've snagged plenty of help out of the archives over the past several months. I'm an engineer and recently started dabbling in the world of 3d character design and find that I do many things very well but I believe I've confused myself on the proper workflow. This is what I…
Hello there! I thought Id start a sketchbook as I'm pretty new to all this modelling and texturing lark and some critical feedback is always needed and welcome, as of now I only have a few months of experience, I'm currently studying computer games design at Uni and we started producing assets late September 2012 and I had…
