Hey thanks!
I've been studying for a year now, though I have to say that my painting skills are mostly self-taught. Still, I'm nowhere near where I want to be, but you just have to work hard and practice a lot to improve, I suppose. I'm sure you'll reach that point someday, your gallery definitely looks promising!

I totally understand you. I only ever did characters but I really want to learn how to do environments now, but it's so hard T_T and I'm so bad at perspective. Hope I'll be able to do them soon, though. ;>

Nyamesiss In reply to anamakiu [2013-11-10 21:19:04 +0000 UTC]

hehe sure thing uVu I guess we're in the same boat on this stuff then yeah :S

and yeah perspective can be quite the b*tch :T I'm thinking of using some construction lines in future works xD though rocky surface is easier to cheat on haha`

I kinda learned how to draw backgrounds from FZD (feng zhu design school) on youtube

he's a really cool guy and his vids are quite useful. Maybe you'd like to watch some of them? ^^b

anamakiu In reply to Nyamesiss [2013-11-10 23:30:19 +0000 UTC]

yeah I know feng zhu, such an amazing artist! I absolutely love his tutorials and learned so much from him already. *_*

I've actually started to make a 3D base for environment sketches, it's really fast and I don't have to figure out the perspective when I'm drawing (cause I'm kind of too lazy to make a proper lineart beforehand xD).
But I still want to be able to do that without a base and be as fast es feng zhu someday. >o< would be really useful to be able to quickly scribble some thumbnails for game concepts and ideas.

Nyamesiss In reply to anamakiu [2013-11-10 23:43:08 +0000 UTC]

aww man cool that you know him too and yes I learned a bunch from his vids too ^^ 

Cool, so you kinda use a 3D grid for your perspective lines? that's really useful (I should figure out how to do that kinda stuff too >:T)

feng is just a real master already ;U; eheh we still have a long way to go I guess to catch with him x3

:T I guess practise is the only key to success eh OTL so keep going ^^/

yeah let's do our best and help each other on the way! I'm sure we'll improve a lot!

For a 3D base I use Sketchup, it's really easy to learn and you can quickly model some buildings and then export it as a 2D png and paint over it. Really useful, you should check it out!

Nyamesiss In reply to anamakiu [2013-11-11 22:42:46 +0000 UTC]

Yeah cool  

If you ever need any help/advise I'll be here o3o/ though I'm no expert either haha we should just go for it >3

I remember using sketchup pretty long ago (when I was 13 or something) so it must've been pretty easy yeah ^^

Do you also make all the windows and that stuff in sketchup or is that all handpainted?

(I'll just creep over to google and download it hahah~)

anamakiu In reply to Nyamesiss [2013-11-13 00:31:05 +0000 UTC]

I don't really do a lot of details, just what is needed to help me through the painting process. Windows are useful though, since they offer some extra perspective lines, so I usually add some, but without any details. Hope that helps.

Nyamesiss In reply to anamakiu [2013-11-13 21:36:18 +0000 UTC]

yeah I thought so with windows since they're kinda neat shapes?

details like cracks or brick are indeed a lot more irregular and nicer to add in the painting/photobashing stage

gonna start figuring out how to get some interesting comps with this stuff ^^ its so easy to use better than I remember haha

just didnt find time to work on overpainting it yet :T and I want to get some interesting shapes too (now I only have random blocks hah)

thank you so much for these kind words! Though I'm not sure I deserve so many compliments Actually I'm still in a learning stage myself, there's just so much I can't visualize yet. :/
drawing buildings... yep, that's my weak point as well, though I kind of have to draw them now since I developed the concept for our current game project and it's setting is an abandoned city, but it's so frustrating at times!

I'm not so sure about doing tutorials, since there are already so many good ones, but if you have questions or need some tips you can always message me, if you'd like. :')

I understand how you feel :3

I'm a concept/character designer/texture artist for my team.

I'm still a newbie and I need to learn so much more about design to make it worth their while in putting their trust into my art directions ;__;

And thank you very much! You are too kind. I look forward to seeing all your future works

hey! A fellow game designer, how nice. And you're already working in a company... I'm envious haha. It's still going to take a while for me to actually start working. What do you specialize in? I don't know about Reus but it looks pretty cool. Did you work on that?
We are currently doing our second game project in university, so I know how busy that can get...

oh and thanks for the watch.

MitchellTummers In reply to anamakiu [2013-11-08 19:07:18 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome first of all! (*v*)

Yeah I worked on Reus, concept art and Assets etc.

What year you're in? you're not busy with interships yet?

I specialize in 2D concepts. I also like to 3D sculpt in Z brush.

What kind of games you're working on? if you may tell...

anamakiu In reply to MitchellTummers [2013-11-08 20:46:03 +0000 UTC]

It would be really awesome if I could do concepts for official games one day :'D must be pretty cool^^

I've started my third semester last month and we start doing internships a bit later. But for every semester we get a new assignment to make a game in small groups. Last semester we did a 2D platformer/sidescroller and now we're moving to 3D and have to make a game in first person perspective, which I do the concepts for. It's a really good experience for me. :')
Though I'm not really good with 3D yet ;..; It's kind of frustrating sometimes.

MitchellTummers In reply to anamakiu [2013-11-08 21:08:57 +0000 UTC]

You also make the 3D for the FP shooter? Concepts + doing 3D is a lot of work

Yeah, it's really cool, BUT SOMETIMES PAAAINN xD

You keep making concepts over and over again about 1 idea. Satisfy the lead designer. It's like.. Okay i've got this idea.. and wrote something about it. Here you go, figure it out. The more you do this, the faster this go. But from start.... hehe.. ouch xD

and A LOT of communication

In the end it's really rewarding work On every piece I work I improve. People like it and they say wow or awesome and use it. Gives me such a motivation boost (*v*).

What keeps you motivated?

anamakiu In reply to MitchellTummers [2013-11-09 17:46:50 +0000 UTC]

yeah, I'm kind of the "lead artist" in our group and have two members helping me on the designs, though I do the main concepts and they give me feedback or have other suggestions on different ideas. It's pretty cool and you get a lot of great ideas in the team.
I'm kind of the only one that has at least some experience in 3D, so I'll help the others and we'll do the models together, I hope. xD I really don't want to model and texture a whole city by myself haha ^^

But you're right. The more you work the more you improve and it's really helpful if you get some feedback on your designs. That's actually the reason I joined deviantart. I get really motivated if I get a watch, it shows me there is someone who likes what I do and it makes me want to get better, since I'm usually pretty lazy. xD
