I think the cynical beauty of this fad is that it targets a very naive and young audience hooked to their phones, who think they know everything about the world yet have no idea that there are such things as contracts for freelance work, declaring revenue to the IRS, and IP rights. By making them believe that "they can get…
I typically do two things to stay motivated on work. If I notice I'm bored or struggling with a project I'll see if there is anything on our queue I can throw some hours at to mix it up. If I'm working on modeling a building are there any tiling textures I can knock out? Maybe a prop or two? Just shifting gears for two…
The DOTA2 walk is pretty good! The feet needs more roll off the toes on the push off in each step. Favor the pelvis vertical toward the top of the arc in each step, that will make the leg straighten out a little more for each heel plant. I'd pull back the jaw movement a bit so it's very subtle. The overlapping motion in…
Well, the way I see it is as follows : Rather than : "a synced baker-engine pair won't save you from the worst possible gradients", it's more like : "a synced baker-engine pair allows you to not even have to worry about what your normalmap looks like". Now again I totally understand that not every scenario is the same, and…
That's the great thing about art, you can express yourself and your art tothe best of your ability and post it online. People don't know if you are a male or female, but they can enjoy your work regardless! When I started doing my dota2 art I never corrected people if they said I was male or female. I streamed with no cam…
Wow, that was quite powerful, thanks! it certainly makes a lot of sense when put that way. I guess the freelance work was just to confirm to me that what i'm doing is worth something. I know that sounds pitiful but what i mean is that i don't want to rock up to a company and think i'm excellent if my portfolio is rubbish…
Hey everyone I've recently started the 3rd year of my BA Games Art course and with it my dissertation. I'm currently researching into my chosen topic and creating a video pitch, I already have a good chunk of research to get me started but thought I'd try and tap into the wealth of knowledge on these forums to. The…
Hey everyone. I am quite green in the world of low-poly yet I have chosen I wanna do a little scene with a character that is gonna be somewhat like dota2 or the like in poly count and texture size. I hope to get some valuable feedback from you guys here :) !.. I gotta deliver this in about 10 days from now and so far I am…

hey guys! I've finally taken the plunge and jumped into making some Dota 2 items! I'm really loving the game too (tried to just research it for this purpose but it ended up sucking me in). I wanted to use the Chinese New Year event as my excuse to jump in with a timelimit and heres my WIP for my first piece! a Faceless…
