Set dressing process! I move the characters to the edge of our collider and make sure there is stuff in-camera. This is about 20 mins of work condensed down to 56 seconds. Next, we do mesh, texture, and light bakes! #indiedev #gamedev #videogames #indiegames #leveldesign #3dart #jrpg #gravastar

I know you're all out there grinding, trying to be the best artist you can be. But don't forget to stop and take time to play. Have fun. Fun gives you purpose. Fun reminds you why you want to draw in the first place.

For all the artists out there. What is your favorite tablet to use? I used to use a Cintiq but kind of found I preferred an Intuos pro. I find that I get a bit too hyper focused on details too quickly with a Screen tablet. Does anyone else relate to that?

Is creating content around the creation of your art part of the process or is it a result of what feeds social media? I am curious on peoples thoughts on the added layer of “content” creation that surrounds making art and sharing it online.

Finally wrapped up the texture and rendering on Thor. Had a lot of fun with this and had a blast during my time in the Heroic sculpting class taught by Mike Thompson at the Stylus League Not time to learn about cutting and keying so I can make a big ol print of this guy. Glad to be back in zbrush

Professionals use art reference. Hobbyists use art reference. Newbies use art reference. Teachers use art reference. Everyone uses reference. Use reference for your art. You're not cheating.

And I will venture that it's the last make up FX / puppet extravaganza we will see in our lifetime. Dozens upon dozens of creations- many of them elaborate animatronics were created for this film. We utilized several make up FX studios and gave almost every creature a cameo in which to shine. Sigh

I created this painting "Dinosaur Parade" in 1990, before I invented the whole concept of Dinotopia. I just wanted to give a glimpse of a lost empire that humans shared with peaceful dinosaurs. Jumping through that picture frame and living inside the painting changed my life.
