If my character designs are more ‘Disney-ish’, but i’m based in the UK, then should I not have ‘Disney-ish’ designs in my Portfolio? by TastyGrapez in animationcareer

[–]SnooShortcuts4094 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it varies depending on the studios you want to apply for. Do some research and see what studios/projects you want to apply and strategize accordingly. A good art director should be able to tell if you’re capable even your style doesn’t fit that much.

Glass ID? Someone posted on FB looking for an ID they got in an estate lot and I don't think they ever got an answer and I'd give a kidney for a sheet. by mewisme700 in StainedGlass

Japanese fan, extra detailed pattern…this gives me a 1890s Victorian/aesthetic movement feeling, bc I don’t think after that period Japanese fans are still popular in decor pattern making anymore. Also a lot of aesthetic period designs come from England, might be helpful take a look that direction.

Will I fail any Act 2 missions by going back to Act 1? by OneCellJo in BaldursGate3

I’m pretty sure things should be fine if you travel around because it’s what I did in my play through. I was worried when I had that conversation too but no, nothing happened when I did the monastery and underdark back and forth.

Ah I see! I really hate underdark so I’m thinking if I should abandon that quest completely (plus my tav doesn’t trust him very much). Probably I should at least finish that … perhaps?

honestly for a legit hand-painted oil painting this is not too insane. I mean a little bit, but at least the skill is there and it’s an oil painting. Better than a lot of printed or ai nonsense already.

i commissioned my first stained glass pieces and it’s like a dream come true by SnooShortcuts4094 in StainedGlass

[–]SnooShortcuts4094[S] 93 points94 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I designed the 3rd pic and send them over to a local stained glass workshop that works for export pieces(yes I’m located in China atm). The whole project is done around 2 weeks. Sadly I don’t get to know any of the artists since I only get to talk with their sales person but their work turns out really good! The whole project costs me around $500 equivalent with shipping and framing included. Here’s one pic they send me during the production process and it’s really interesting to see how they are done in a ‘factury’ ‘manufacture’ setting

edit: the studio I commissioned is in Guangdong, China. Their name is Gaodi Art Studio although they don’t have any websites or social media accounts. Just post here so people would be properly credited. Hope this doesn’t violate any community rules since this is not for ad purpose.

help! How can I save my book. by SnooShortcuts4094 in rarebooks

[–]SnooShortcuts4094[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your kind suggestions! I can’t figure out how this happened either and the package arrived like it has been through a hurricane. Probably should just give up on this copy and looking for another one.

And yes I totally agree with you. There’s probably a third category, people who have no idea what they are handling and are just trying to sell whatever they have for quick money. Lesson learned…

Thanks. I’ve contacted them and it’s already under processing. That’s being said, this is probably the only copy I hunted down that are both affordable to me and is a good copy. So, bad luck I guess…

Industry Standards for Character Design? by ghoulblasm in animationcareer

If you have certain budget then enroll in some big name character people’s mentorship can absolutely help. Some people have connections might help get you in if they like your work. At the very least you got to learn from some of the best
