I went to E3 this year and had a great time, it was great to see a lot of original games instead of a bunch of sequels! Yes there were still more sequels than original games but its encouraging to see some developers broadening there horizons even within specific genres, there seemed to be something for everyone. For the…
I'm running a i5-4690K, a GTX 970, and 16GB of DDR3 RAM. So I understand having to work around your computer limitations. Though I don't do character work, just environment stuff. Understand that you don't always have to have an insane polycount in Zbrush to get good bakes. It's tempting to crank up the Sub-Ds until each…
In my opinion there is no such thing as "stylized character artists" or "realistic character artists" especially with no experience There should only be "character artist able to deliver great characters no matter what challenge is thrown at him" You've got dudes known for a particular style but usually these guys have 10…
summary: stay on target....stay on target.... longer version/random points: You seem to have a good grasp of what your situation is. You seem to have a good idea of how to proceed.

Ok cool, well the price shouldn't be all that bad then. I did not extensively compare the X100 to the XE-1, I only used the X100 breifly in the store so I can't give an in depth review or anything.

Hey Jim looking far better then it did the first time you posted it which is great. Right now a lot of your textures are overly grungy when there is no point in them being so. Remeber to make something look worn and used you dont need a ton of dirt added too it. That just makes things look like there in some super ghetto…
By perspective they might have meant, locked like a side scroller or RTS. Or moving around and thru the smoke like a flight sim or first person shooter. Since you are asking for VOLUMETRIC clouds I'm a bit confused since thats not really an artist thing? From my experience with smoke there are a few ways to do it and most…
Thanks for the replies guys :) Here's some early progress from my sculpting adventure: There a lot of work in front of me; some parts are still looking a bit blobby and other are not even touched yet. But regardless, I'm fairly happy with the way it's progressing so far. MrBear: Haha, let's hope I will be able to replicate…
Like others have said, you are off to a good footing by posting here and being open about critique. Some resources to get into character art from the beginning: Learn anatomy. Step back from doing anything pertaining to creatures and non-humanoid studies/pieces, or at least do not make them a focus until you can grasp the…
