Re: Im an artist
there's no lifedrawing in your sketchbook thread here, and work that you've posted largely suggests lack of it. if you want to do illustration/concept art type of jobs, having a solid observational drawing foundation is a must. keep whatever job you're employed at right now, save money and hire a mentor who would… -
Re: Stability in the game industry worry
I've been at the same place since 2006, super stable, great pay and we hardly work over a 40hr week and crunch is a few days every 3-6mo. I've got a wife and a daughter and the job doesn't impact the time I spend with my family at all. But then again I'd give up the industry if it became unstable for me. I'd go back to… -
Re: -- Belly Off Club --
205 lbs / 93 kg - ~5'8 / 176cm joining in. Aiming to get down to ~170 lbs. I exercise quite a bit because of my hobby Tricking [look it up in youtube and a name you might know Anis Cheurfa (tricker who played Rinzler in Tron Legacy)] and MMA sparring with a friend. So I guess I just need to lose the habit of drinking lot… -
Re: Your thoughts on financial double-dipping in games
I feel your pain, but then again that is why they are making the game to make money. Though you do not have to pay for the "extra items", the monthly subscription thing could be sorted out better to actual game time so people don't feel ass raped every month for not even playing 2 days worth of that month... DLC's and that… -
Re: Ths sculpted-cloth killer app?
I know someone who thinks like that. He absolutely hates being subservient to other people and would prefer never having to work any kind of job (I had to drill through his logic to get to that admission, forcing him to realize the problem with it). Look, you don't have to do this for a living. You can drive a garbage… -
Re: Female Template Body [proportion tweaks and pose]
Thank you Seraphinn! You´re right about the hands. For future work they are not ideal. I have to remake them anyway because I used dynamesh to merge them to the body and therefore lost the crease in the armpits... not the best idea on second guess, haha^^ I agree with you @Wendy de Boer! For an artist in the business it… -
Re: Does a good 3D Artist need to be a good 2D Artist?
You can practice and hone your anatomy, composition, color and lighting skills a hell of a lot faster in a 2d format than you can in 3d, and what you learn carries over pretty much perfectly. It's not a requirement, but it shows employers that you're more motivated and interested in art than people who don't have… -
Re: Let's talk about weekends!
warrenm: of course this is just my opinon, no actual science or anything, but im just assuming that we are somewhat alike as human beings, and living a varied life is good thing for all of us. i never so far meet a person in real life, who did the same thing everyday that seemed happy. im not saying that you have to enyoy… -
Re: The Job climate for character artists
Whooof. It looks like I might be returning to the job market in another month or two. Nothing I did, thankfully enough. Just another casualty of downsizing brought on by an agressively bad economy. I'm actually lucky to have gotten a heads-up on this once several months in advance. (no official announcement has been made,… -
Re: Will it ever be
The only two arguements I'm hearing in favor of a degree is: 1. to get a Visa. 2. to get the teamwork experience. And they're good arguements. Ridiculous, but good. You can learn to become an artist without being instructed...unless you have no motivation, in which case, perhaps you shouldn't be doing art. Maybe you just…
