Hey, thanks a lot for taking the time to reply, I really appreciate it. Getting feedback like this actually means a lot to me, especially because I’m working on this project in the evenings after long workdays (I run my own business), so staying motivated can be tough sometimes. Even just one solid reply like yours really…
using the object pivot point as base for adjusting normals from gives a nice soft look for foliage but when this material is used on foliage instances, the normals break. Pretty sure it is because the object pivot point is not per instance, so it's probably at 0,0,0 or something. Does anybody know if there is a way to get…
Hi guys, first time here so I'm not sure if this is the right place to post my question and I hope there are plenty of Handpaint artists around here that can give me some nice tips to improve myself.

Its something I've been putting off for some time, probably because I'm not sure where to start and what the best way to approach it is. I've got a mental block on it as a result. Does anyone have some good advice on techniques, starting points? Should I start purely with perspective or replicate photographs? Interior…
ThisisVictoriaZ I kept the medical piece in mostly to show that I’ve actually worked on shipped projects, since they’re pretty hard to find or play otherwise. Do you think taking it out would make the portfolio weaker? About the environment, I totally get what you’re saying. Those are older projects and back then I didn’t…
I agree with Sectaurs on mulitple points, also look into digital painting tutorials such as the ones found here http://www.furiae.com/index.php?view=gallery they helped me a lot
I'm having some weird problems with image quality when opening an image in anything really. I've tried with Photoshop, Paint and Photo Viewer.
