I have two suggestions 1: Small Bluetooth Apple Magic Keyboard. It's thin, small, and a review said it successfully paired with Windows 7. I would research further on Windows compatibility. If the build quality is anything like their classic wired aluminum keyboard, it should last. Only downside might be the arrangement of…
I would get rid of the following: * Gunner - the anatomy is not great, and the piece is not finished * Humpback whale - It's just a sculpt and I don't think it's as strong as other pieces * Climber - only the images with the snow, I can kinda tell the snow was rushed as it doesn't look like how snow would rest on a…
Ok well for those looking at this thread anew, yeah I've piked out on that crystal creature up top. I might redo it at some point, of course facilitating some of the feedback I was given for it. Stuff that happened: I got my Degree in Communication Design (I may as well say Graphics Design, since I'm so sick of the…
I do read fantasy a bit too much but the sketchbooks i fill from these are worth it. Visual library for the win. I've polished off a few book series this year already: - The first law series - - Very dark and grimy fantasy taking the idea of heros and really fucking with it. Ends justify the means and progress has a…
If I where you, I would pull down some menial job that pays the bills while you work like a mad scientist on your portfolio. If you move to LA you'll be competing for menial labor with all the out of work and would-be actors and actresses. The good news is that with the housing market crash finding a cheap place to live…
Yes. This is awesomesauce. Could even go the route of using shadow as a game play element. I think the slight ambient from the moonlight bringing the stark blacks out of the shadows is exactly what this needed. In your first outdoor screenshots, you had BLACK shadows. One way to combat this (was thinking about this after…

I've been working for about 3-4 years with a manual chamfer workflow and the last 2 years with opensubd, so here are my pros and cons: opensubd (or similar): pros: - cleaner basemesh, much easier to make tweaks and changes (no redoing support loops) - cleaner subdivided mesh, much better for sculpting since faces are…
Yeah there are a few reasons, one is that sitting all the time isn't very good for you, keeps you sedentary, the angle that we normally sit in chairs isn't particularly good for your joints/posture, it never struck me as particularly natural to sit hunched over like we do all the time and I read through a few things that…
Strengths: 1. Nice site design which fits screen. 2. Nice to see textures and normal maps for a change. A lot of people don't show that. Weaknesses: 1. Not sure I like the words "Portfolio site of a Environment/Game artist. Instead I'd have "Portfolio - Environment Artist". The reason is, you seem to be in the middle…
