Yeah it is up to you if you accept the commission. The promise of more work like this is moot because more work at the same rate isnt really attractive. Mostly I say it is time better spent looking for good clients or improving your folio. I think we all underestimate the effort needed to establish a good client base. As…
Starting on Dec. 23rd, I'm driving to Cincinnati, Ohio (13 hours) for a vacation with my girlfriend's family. Plans are made to visit local attractions including the Zoo, and several art museums and galleries. I'm taking my sketchbook and several pens and pencils. Hope to practise some sketching and character concepts for…
I had fun sculpting and polypainted one of the ghost/thing/spirit/monster from the manga, Mieruko-chan, by the author Izumi Tomoki. I saw this spirit in chapter 14 and got the urge to sculpt it during my free time. The manga is good too. It starts as a simple fun premise about a girl who suddenly starts seeing spirits all…
Hey everyone, I was looking tequila work's new game: Rime. The artstyle is great and I was especially attracted to the trees in that game. I started doodeling away in maya but I couldn't get close enough for my liking. Does any of you art wizards know how I can achieve a similar effect? I love how soft the lighting looks…

So, since the thread about rotating normalmaps is attracting a fair few knowledgeable members, I thought I'd post about this thing I'd been thinking about: Often when I have to make changes to textures when the Normalmap, Spec and Diffuse have all been finished, I curse the fact that I can't clone-stamp multiple layers at…
I'm not saying this is the wisest method at all, but here's some data from my experience: Spent 10 weeks making an indie game in super niche market and published to steam with zero marketing. Game is of decent quality and has attractive graphics. Last about 5-30 hours depending on user. Released last summer, has earned…
You can still talk about your struggles, but keep it professional. No matter where. As an Artist, try to be professional everywhere you present your work. For example you can write a blog post about what you struggled most with. But then do a detailed breakdown of it and write an analysis of what you can do better next…
Hey, the suit is starting to look interesting. However, you might reconsider those shapes on her boots. Right now, they seem very impractical and prone to hamper her range of motion. Maybe mirror those arches and take away stuff from the inside. Right now, the upper body seems to be missing a similar silhouette breakup…
If I were to run that fanless cooler, then I would upgrade the rear fan for sure (rear fan is replaced with the H70). I did some measurements and I think it would fit with my normal profile memory. Here's a shot of in the case (mATX in a P180): Right now, it's at a cool 22c with ambient temps of 25c. That fanless might be…
