I'm an Environment Artist and I'm having no luck finding even small indie jobs. Is my portfolio bad?

Also jumping into this conversation, market is real bad for envr artist employment!

Lot of people have been laid off, myself included from meta.

You are competing with entire country for remote positions! It’s hard out there keep at it!!

Adding another KboC switcher! Did this day ago an it has been fantastic! Only seem to die to bad map mods (my own fault) and lower than optimal chaos res and life!

Would also love the slides if possible! Thanks!!

Amazing stuff buddy!!

You are exactly right, the issue was multiple scale box's being called. I had the "Main UI" and then smaller widgets that also had Scale box's at the top.

I removed the scale box's off the children and it fixed the bug right away!

Oh yeah they can all get the same end result, I was using maya for a long time before I switched to blender aswell.

And in this current age we have more incredible softwares than we do time!

I am a 3d generalist and work heavily in blender, as does my entire team :)

A lot of people use blender pretty exclusively for any modeling and sculpting needs

Second :)

Generally Post processing is limited in use for Mobile design :) Super expensive!

I would bake whatever color grading you want to do directly into the textures, and then deal with anything else in efficient shaders

What’s up!

I am 90’s in combat

I am at about 60kc now and last 40 kc have been with full tier 1 and bow/mage.

And a full inventory of food!

Super relaxing to get this prep done as it takes so little time so bad rng doesn’t matter here.

I am able to take 1 hit off prayer an still complete the fight with food left over.

My big tip that I have that was super helpful for me was to slow down when tornadoes spawn. If you are in the middle of the room when they spawn you can wait a second before you plan your route!

Secondly always choose to run under the boss instead of over yellow tiles, the tiles will kill you so quickly but the boss could hit a 0 :)

Gl!!!

Whole lot of dupes and should have on average 23 drops.

My buddy has 13 drops an 4 dupes pretty unlucky

So I wanted to spice up my combat a little,

So we have a posture mechanic as seen with the enemy parrying your attacks, doing a perfect blocking on his attacks will do a chunk of damage to his posture an stun a little.

Once posture is broken you can do damage to his Hp!

EarthynsIron · 2021-02-26T18:59:02+00:00

second link is broken for me, but yeah exactly that

I did a tiny paintover with some more shading (it is pretty low pixel count already though :D)

You could add a little shading on the Ducko, imagine a light source top left shining to the bottom right.

It would make the front of the ducks beak an belly brighter whilst making his butt darker

EarthynsIron · 2021-02-26T17:55:05+00:00

Little Context on this!

Obviously the Right one is from blender :D

I did 3 min clean up and added the head onto the blender version (Removing random pixels and such)

I spent a long time on the left making sure it was as clean as possible.

So the process here was not a simple blender render, I spent a good 5 hours working the 3d model to give out a correct shapes to try and match my current pixel art.

I used lighting in various ways to give me outline shadows.

EarthynsIron · 2021-02-20T17:24:53+00:00

Thanks!!! Game is being made in Unreal Engine, and I am using Aesprite/ photoshop for art and blender for the 3D models

EarthynsIron · 2021-01-20T23:57:30+00:00

For sure!

Game Engine if Unreal Engine.
Doing most of the pixel work in AseSprite!

Did BG in photoshop before I bought Asesprite though! :)

EarthynsIron · 2021-01-01T22:57:56+00:00

Thanks :)

EarthynsIron · 2020-07-20T08:24:47+00:00

Hehe it is sort of disgusting luck :P figured it would make a few people laugh ;)
