i am actually pretty impressed how well a shape can be transformed into nearly everything

if you are applying for an internship: people won't/shouldn't care.

if you are applying for a full position with 2k+ Euro a month, experience is a must have. having a shipped title might work out. but this really depends on the company.

generally small companies tend to use trainees for exploitation purpose. bigger companies might be quite picky when it comes to full positions.

i don't know you well, so my advice would be: start with being exploited in an internship. gain a first shipped title that way. then try to either get a full position in the same company or leave and apply at different companies. getting into the industry is actually quite easy. gain some experience by internships and hobby projects. ship some low-mid budget titles and you are in

very nice job. only thing that bothers me is the intensity of the lamps in the last screenshot. there seems to be a strong sunlight already and then those small lamps totally overexpose it?

no. my bike is okay and my leg seems to be the same. just some bruises. anyway it could be worse if i hadn't made use of my brakes

yay thread push!

actually some stupid ass senior nearly killed me with his car while i was riding my bike. i was in the cyclists lane and he just drove across it and kicked me away with his front bumber. (( great day so far

I would recommend You to start with pen&pencil first, you will be able to see what you paint and without any lag Cintiq is meant for someone who arleady has a background in 2d, it alone won't make you paint better. Keep training.

geez. i never said nor expected that. i have 2d texture painting background. drawing things i see right in front of me is no problem either. it's about free minded drawings.

thanks mino for the links.

Nothing come from free mind except if you are gifted and got a great visual memory, work with references if you are into "realistic" drawing hessi, there's not an once of shame in that.

tanks koko. i got referred to conceptart.org. there are some pretty good tutorials / guides / tipps scattered around their forum. as soon as i get my university stuff done, if will hop in

hahaha the rust texture of UT99

i can see a black something and a sky. don't you have better screenshots?

Quote from dux

I'd advise not to joke about something like this, esp since this is not EOT.

... Why so serious?!

the cintiq is a lightweight. i think its like 2kg so it is as light as a laptop. the cooling works great so you dont get sweaty underneath it. this is due to the openings going either sideways or at the sides on the bottom and the "small" display size which produces less heat. you can easily keep it on your crossed legs while drawing with one hand.

i was just uploading a video to youtube (shitty handy cam):
