Re: How to draw
Going from personal experience here as i've started to do a lot more drawing too. Please note that i'm not an expert in the matter, however over the years I have neglected 2D (focusing on the 3D) so consider me someone whose just starting out too. The exercises that I try to do each day are (Usually 1 or 2 of the below… -
Re: Portfolio Feedback (3D Modeling)
Mmn. I have trouble weighing in because character artist probably IS riskier (WAY less jobs), and possibly a bit harder. But imho? Your eye for character work is MUCH stronger than your eye for stylized props. Your character work still needs work, but I can see where you're going with it and especially with the priestess… -
Re: What would an European exit mean for the UK games industry?

A first principle approach to drawing.
EDIT: I rewrote this first part for clarity. If you are a beginner and you are watching a skilled artist draw, you will probably notice that they are skilled at creating depth, yet they are not using complex perspective construction to do this.

However, my degree is not in "Game Design" but in "Technology,"… -
Re: 7Plus - Awesome free program
I read that feed too and tried using it to see if I can replace my FastStone Capture for image sharing. They both have the ability to "printscr and upload to ftp and copy url"; Pros (and cons) of each as an image sharing app: 7Plus: * Is free (faststone capture is shareware, costs $20) * Lets you type in the file name for… -
