Re: Skyline
I downloaded this last night, yeah yeah save the argument about how piracy is horrible and I have no soul. I was up super late working on an art test and figured hey toss it up on my second screen and watch / listen while I work. I should have kept listening to the sweet harmony of Phil Collins. Looks sexy but other then… -
Re: [WIP] Brass Knuckle Shotgun!!
Yea, this really doesn't jive well. You have too many elements that just don't make sense. Functionality is pretty important. I can't remember playing any games, real, scifi, steam punk, or fantasy where the weapons didn't look functional. Concept guys are pretty big on functionality so they make sure a weapon is designed… -
Re: GDC 2016 Vault Talks?
Hmm. An Architects Guide to Creating Expressive Game Environments Pretty interesting overall. A few parts felt a bit dry to me but the examples she went through (Bioshock, Dark Souls, etc) were pretty spot on. Both of the Lawbreakers talks (Surrounded by 800lb Gorillas+ 360 art direction) were great. The former is… -
Re: Hand Painted Textures
I'd agree with this. Texturing used to be my weakest point, but once I took some time to learn painting in general (basically did a bunch of portraits over a few months), and got more confident at using the brush/photoshop, I used those same skills (observation mainly) and applied them to hand painted textures. It's… -
Re: [COMPLETED] Female Fighter
Final post for the warrior girl. Unfortunately I ran out of steam for this character, so I don't know if I'll get back to pushing it some more and reworking some textures, or just take the knowledge that I gained from this and move on (probably the later of the two). It was my first attempt at bringing something into… -
Re: HOW TO stand out to potential employers
Remove all doubt that you can do the work. Prove that you can produce on your own. Sell stuff on the Unity asset store. Sell stuff on Turbo Squid. Make stuff for the Steam workshop. If you can produce a large volume of work for profit on your own, you will be in a tiny minority of game artists. Nothing says "bullshitter"… -
Re: Motivation is Bull
This wouldn't work in the office//studio but at home, I am constantly moving back and forth from work to internet to blow off "boredom steam" and to give myself mental refreshers. I work on my stuff at least a couple of hours a day pretty much every day but probably never more than 10 hours in any given day. One project at… -
Re: Where's my drive at man
Wow. Sounds weird, but I just don't have nearly the amount of time to do all the stuff I want to do. I'm currently working on 3 side projects, but have another 12 ideas ready to go, along with 3 really solid collaborative ideas. This does not mention the 12 games I have sitting in cellophane on my coffee table, and 20+… -
Re: CryEngine or Unity?
CryEngine has a huge number of successful mmo licensees in the eastern market afaik and comes with an FPS Game code by default. The community has actually just now started creating presets for other game types (http://www.crydev.net/newspage.php?news=124671) The CryEngine pipeline is super quick for artists once you have… -
Re: "Unpaid crunch deserves no sympathy"
It's shit like this that has pretty much made me one of the people I'd never thought I'd become... someone who worked in the game industry, got burned, and until shit like this gets sorted is in no rush to go jumping back in. I make more as a buyer for a small tech company than I did working as an fx artist. I definitely…
