Next step in the gf posing : post a picture of you and your girlfriend on the moon
Today's character design exercise : Do a quick concept of a black new york cop, ~50 years old, a bit fat. You got 1 hour.

We should add a new moto to this thread : Double post your tiling textures
those two don't tile well either, there's really big noticeable artifacts like unique bricks, colors separation. You have to make these more uniform jaboo i think

I didn't thought a game like this could exist anymore..

Is it you guys at Grin who are working on it ? or like i presume, is it another dev studio ?
Well it's quite decent, but you got some really noticeable artefacts when it tiles all over your texture

Just to bring some numbers.. i was able to put my eyes on an Ubisoft's market analyze from last year
70% of the players are playing on PC
In terms of sells, the PC is only 11% of the market
You should try to erase the little artifacts all around, blur it a bit and then add some photo grain ?
A little more of lowpoly characther modeling, i'm not satisfied, especially of the texture. 
That's poison ivy from batman (the cartoon) i tried to respect the style in 3D using a model sheet, but damn ..

Quote from hessiSo i recommend throwing all you leveldesign stuff over board and concentrate either on leveldesign or painting.
Hessi i completely disagree! do both
I did a little edit mostly with the liquify filter to put her to proportions as much as possible, the shadows needs to be more pronounced than that, and yeah it's still plenty of flaws that i'm sure i don't even know the existence. Also I dunno if ends up to be her real face since i don't have the photo, but maybe it can save you a date

A good trick to keep proportions of a face coherent is to keep in mind that the eyes and the nose are restrain in the height of the ear (my two horizontal lines), also always try to keep a perspective, it'll help.
I've also changed the contrast and saturated the colors to the red, it was originally really gray.
I'd have posted a photo of me with a baguette and a fromage, it would have the same effect 
Quote from zaphodI would think it would be pretty hard to be #1 in games when you don't even exist!
They still are number 1 in my heart ..
Black Isle.. it's still real to me dammit.
Looks nice kt, but you are forgetting an important thing to enriching your composition : the foreground
Some really near foliages at a high resolution coming from the bottom left would look uber cool i think ( in black or really dark, to keep the eye focused on the sign )
edit: also watch out for that tree line, the repetition is visible

I just love the guy at 5:28 : "Well that's gay .." i loled very hard
Since when lamers are famous around the world ? I remember doing such things on TFC 5 years ago
If you zoom well under her shoulder your can see some hairs tho.
Oh yeah finally !! pretty nice model acumen, clean mesh and all, i especially like the plane and the little aviator goggles you made him.
In terms of shapes and design you could go a bit further tho, the kart seems to be one big soap box from afar : you could resize up the motor and the back wing thingie and why not extrude some polies aboves the tires ? It will have a way more interesting silhouette imo.
Also in the same optic, for the plane you could bend a bit the wings, especially if the player will look the vehicle from behind.
I just checked and it's been about a year i did that concept for you Acumen 
What the heck were you doing !!!
another sidescrolling platform game NOT made by you
QFT
It has been a really plain afternoon looking at some dorky ass things on the interwon until i stumbled upon this !!
Tekkyuuman is platform game where you play as a naked "helmet excepted" knight who fights his enemies with an elastic flail, and it's seems that you have to stop the tyrannic reign of other naked armed persons who are probably german. The game is unforgivable, harsh, but especially hard..
If after such an awesome resume like this one you don't seem to be that excited, wait until you see the screenshots !!!!!!!
