Regardless of what you might think personally, Rockstar's PR strategies buys them more word of mouth than even EA could ever afford to buy via advertisements.
Makes good business sense...

Well done. Good luck! Sounds like a nice little hottie to get your hands under the hood with!

GOING OVERBOARD?!?KEEP GOING!
KEEP GOING!
Okay, okay. It is just that I have like thousands of these textures. Okay, maybe not that many, but A LOT! So I don't want to tire people of the same stuff over and over again. When the talk is back to that grungy Quake/Doom look, I will have very little to say. And at any rate it is better to have people wanting to see your toe than your heel.

Sorry for going so much over board, but this is the area of texturing I love the most. Can't help myself!
Two different colour variations on the same texture and geometry.

This is a bark texture, which I am very happy for. It took ages to get it to tile right, without looking too bland and unpainterly.

That bark texture is used as the foundation for stuff like this for example.

I will stop now!
Oh yeah, all the textures are of course hand painted.

Here is some stuff I am very pleased with myself.

Cartoony/stylised doesn't have to abandon all realism, something which you see carried out so well in World of Warcraft. I think these buckets succeeded in having a nice handpainted feel to them, without completely loosing touch with reality.

Here is something very stylised.

Tiles like there is no tomorrow! But I am very happy with it.

Excellent stuff mikezilla. I feel this texture is VERY promising, but it needs a few adjustments here and there to really come into its own.

Is it correct to assume a more photorealistic style is favoured on "your project"?

We just definitely need less Vin Diesel in games. Period. and Paris Hilton. What the hell is she doing strutting around with an empty XBox bag at E3?

When are we gonna get a game with Sam Elliott and his massive moustache? He has always been a hero of mine!

I suppose it would be the wimpish way out to go as Gordon Freeman...

Who would you go as if you were forced to do a COSplayer thing?
-
Is it just me, or did the rest of you also kinda notice that Alyx Vance has something Asian over her features? The eyes in particular...
Realising who did her voice (http://%7boption%7d ) I wonder if that is a coincidence?

Uhmmm. For once it wasn't Rockstar's games... Now off to add Pixar to the "bad for you" list...
Next up, Disney made me eat McDonald's till my heart collapsed...
-
Nope! Wrong, try again...

And guess what game that would be...
