Not entirely sold on this Nova ink practice. Not quite ready for a looser penciler. Fun to try all of these this week

Did some new renders of an old sculpt, the new ones look waaaay better lighting and material wise compared to my old attempt, and past me was like an otter with with its hands glued together. #Sculpt #3DCharacter #gameart #3D #Toolbag

Thank you :) I'm happy things are easy to read. Some designs can be a struggle

Thanks! It took me a while to get the design to a happy place, but we got there eventually.

Hmm, I know there was never a full book for mgs 3, so fingers crossed, it's all in the I-IV book.

Charles Metze III @the3dcharles.bsky.social · 31/10/2024

I'm crossing my fingers that you find a copy at a good price. Did the I-IV book have much MGS 3 art in it?

Charles Metze III @the3dcharles.bsky.social · 31/10/2024

I feel super lucky to have been checking prices at the right time!

Charles Metze III @the3dcharles.bsky.social · 31/10/2024

I literally gasped when I saw the listing lol, it'd an awesome book!

Charles Metze III @the3dcharles.bsky.social · 31/10/2024

Last week I found a copy of The Art of Metal Gear Solid 2 for an insanely good price (been looking for a copy at a good price for like 15+ years) and grabbed it immediately. It just got here yesterday and it's so awesome having the books for mgs1 and mgs2 sitting side by side on my shelf now.

Weekend progress, I think the lighting works and the pose clicks. I built him to be somewhat modular so I still need to get a separate composition with all 3 (Priest, Cleric, Warden) together. #3dart #characterart #gameart

Hey everyone! I figured I'd do a proper intro since I got a whole mess of new followers over the weekend. My name's Dave. I'm a professional concept artist from Puerto Rico. I love sci-fi and am heavily inspired by 90s anime. I'm currently working on fleshing out a long-running personal project.

Charles Metze III @the3dcharles.bsky.social · 25/10/2024

I've been wondering about this myself over the past year and still don't think I've had an answer I'm happy with, so I defaulted to trying to include them on some of my things, especially if I want to drive home how efficiently they were made, but not all.
