I started out at a tiny 3D graphics company, doing flying logos and pre-rendered game animation. That was a lot of work, but fun, and I learned a ton. We were all tired of being poor, so we shut dow ...

I don't recommend it.

Thanks for the great comments everyone. I did do the lineart, a long time ago, and just recently got around to coloring it. There was a color-off on IGN a couple months after I first posted it, so I ...

You know the drill. Critique and berate until your fingers are numb.

Yup, all digital.

"Sorayama in the making..." *Blushes* Aw, you flatter me. I've got SUCH a long way to go before I'm worthy of praise like that. Thank you.

Thanks, everyone! Great comments so far. I'm gonna go back in a tweak a few things, as mentioned, and put in a better background.

Yeah, I did end up winning the color-off. And there were a bunch ...

I did this for a coloring contest on a comic art board. The pencils were by a talented fellow that goes by Babycakes. Inks and color by me.

I'm pretty happy with this one. But I know there's plent ...

I think it boils down to style. I've used Max since it's inception, I've used Maya every day since it's inception, I've occasionally used Lightwave. Nendo or Nichiman I can't speak for. I used Max ...

Ok the topic totally strayed. But since it strayed to religeon, the Salt Lake City boy must ring in.

Hey! I really dig most of the people getting dissed here.

Brom is one of my favorites, in fact. He's got a dark, rough, edgy feel to everything he does, and his anatomy, while very gaunt and sinu ...

The medium is just good old fashioned pencil on Bristol paper.

It's never too late to fix something when you've got Photoshop.

This was more of a doodle that ended up cooler than the others on the ...

It is very sad. This is pretty much the only thing I've drawn in a month. *Sigh...*

Why must we work for a living?

But anyway, here's my sketch! (Self-portrait.)

That is REALLY nice work. I love the bold highlighting, and the way you handle texture.

My layer stack very closely resembles the tower of Babel. I use a gazillion layers, grouped into sets (characters, foreground, background, etc). And here's why: You can make really quick adjustment ...

(Ok, I'm stupid. You already did all that. I need to learn how to read.)

I get a recurring problem where my pressure settings stop working when I'm out of virtual memory. But I doubt that's it.

(Duh, XP... Nevemind...)

First, find out whether the pressure sensitivity is working, outside of PS. Open up the control panel - Wacom tablet settings, and see if it's working in the little scratch pad. Process of eliminati ...

I'm trying to figure out how to color this succubus o' mine, (posted here a couple weeks ago http://home.attbi.com/~steveargyle/succubuslights1.jpg

Erm... I guess he is missing an arm isn't he? WAIT! It's just that he's copping a pinch... yeah... That's it...

You guys might remember my post with the pencils to this. It's my first attempt at an anime style. Here's how it turned out:

GREAT comments! Very helpful, thanks.

KOryH: Thank you! That really illustrates some of the changes that would help this pic. You da MAN!

This is the prelim drawing for a painting. I'm going for a sexy but scary look. The sort of thing where you know she's literally a devil, and will drain your soul. But it seems like a fair price... ...

This is from a color contest on a comic art forum. I didn't draw or ink it, just colors. Lemme know what you think!

Very nice article. Thanks for pointing it out!

Hi Fledgling,

I started at 19, in a CG house of 9 people, at $6 an hour. I had very little skill or experience with the software they used, but I had a strong portfolio, and that's what will get you ...
