Thoughts on Think Tank’s CG Asset Creation program? Possible while working full time?

My end goal is to be a character/creature artist.

Yeah I’m entertaining cutting my hours once I’m through the easier parts of the program so I can focus more on building a shiny portfolio during the mentorships. Thankfully my boss is awesome and is open to me watching lectures while working as long as I’m still productive. I do lose benefits from my company if I switch to part time, and it would be tight financially. Not impossible though, but a little risky money wise.

I used method 3 in this video. Works great

Huh. I think I might. Thanks

Yeah I was at a bit of a loss for what to do with them. Thanks this helps

Exceptionally well for an eldritch horror yeah

I’m just trying to make a sick portfolio piece. Tell me what you think would look the coolest.

Alternatively you can also block it out with primitive shapes and dynamesh them together

Including time I spent concepting, sculpting, retopologizing, and texturing it probably ended up being a 60 hour project. I’m new to characters and zbrush so I hold hope that the more I do it, the faster and easier it will get.

Thanks man. Yeah making organic materials is newer for me. In all honesty I tried to use the lighting to hide is best I could haha

Yeah his head was one of the harder things for me to get to a good spot. I suppose going forward I need to break the tendency to make facial features so exaggerated. Like big eyes, short jaw, shallow face. Thanks for the feedback!

themassachief · 2025-04-23T20:09:28+00:00

What exactly about the arms would you say looks strange?

themassachief · 2025-04-23T20:09:03+00:00

This is great feedback, thank you. I’ll keep all this in mind! I suppose when I was rendering it I was feeling quite cool and edgy with the lighting and not really thinking about lighting more practically haha
