2 absurdly long shaders working!! 3 step cel shading, and the edge detection outline around meshes. I am happy with this :P

Yeah, the game scope is now small. A main menu, level 1, end credits etc. still qualify as a game by the simplest measures. Creating those shaders was 7 hours of headache enough haha. I'm confident in this smaller goal being more achievable. Maybe after that I can push levels and add on some contributing artists/creative minds to help out. In due time.

Quite possibly lol. We've already made a slight hint at that by making Michelangelo the only one looking at the "camera" on the main menu. ;)

Not at all, there is a disclaimer about it being free to play. This is for artists' resumes/simple fun for all.

When the mods let the authorization go through..

Havent been on here in a long time, and you have been busy!! keep up the good work!

Oooh cool! They are for sure similar but I think I may have an extra strand of hair here and there. There was a really nice vector art on deviantart that I used as reference. But yeah I've been without home Internet for a long time, and sadly this stupid iPhone does enable me to upload/download the necessary files or images to update anything. Hence why I don't have anything new here :-/ but if I get my Internet back I'll update it just for you! Lol

Lol well considering you're not even in college yet, you are going to be very fortunate when you are. I didn't use any software before college, just paper and pencil. I've done bits and pieces over the last year or so, nothing career changing however. I collaborate with Z warrior, but the models on the indie page are all xotakus. Mine aren't in the engine just yet (Shenron and gohan). Creating your own character is definitely hard. I'm no concept artist, most 3d artists aren't, but drawing inspiration from others and trying to make your own is a great experience.

Good, explore as much software as you can. Experience will be your greatest teacher. I use zbrush a lot to create concepts and polish up some normal maps. When matching someone else's model sheets I still prefer 3ds max, but zbrush is totally amazing. Modeling anime is new for me, DBZ ( Shenron, and gohan) is the first anime I've modeled. I'm working in cell right now so I can create a nice piece for my portfolio. Thought about doing a few inuyasha characters too. I didn't get to recreate too many characters in school, all concepts have to be your own, so now I'm just having some fun with it. Have you created anything based in your own concepts or do you prefer to create previously established characters? I have a lot more work on my website ( ashleelong.com ) if you're curious to see what kind of work I've put out prior to joining here. As always if you can think of questions ask away!!

This is looking alright so far. How many ploys are you sitting at right now? It's hard to give too much of a critique without some wire frames/ lighting. There are no shadows so it's difficult to give you a good reading of how this would look in game. If you're working in Max, drop in some omni lights or a skylight for an overall soft lighting. Render that out, and toss some wireframes my way and I'll give ya a full critique. The proportions seem on par, but the silhouette needs work. Armor detail around the wrists and shoulders are what I see first. This has a very good base mesh, and can be great if you utilize you're ploys wisely. I look forward to some more renders, keep on working!

Lol sorry I lost my home Internet service. I'm on my cellphone right now. I'll jump over to your page in a few hours and check out what you have going on.

Shows how long it's been since I've logged in... Deviantart : AshleeLong lol

Bt3? Lol, I know it's probably sad I have to ask because I consider myself a huge dbz fan ha! I thinned the lines a bit in the final texture, and didn't pick a particular lighting in 3ds max because I expect this this go into unity anyway. I THINK my deviantart exists still - aipash - but it's ancient and I don't update it. If I get my home Internet service back soon, I'll do a "spring refresh". Cell phone Internet for several months just isn't cutting it!

Sorry bout your doggie - I went through that recently too. You do a lot of work even when things get hard, keep pushing!!

Love it, Love it, Love it!!

Probably one of the most creative animatics for gameplay/storyboards I've seen. Kudos

Lol yes, all of my work is mine and mine alone. Thank you!

Its right there, her legs are just too short. They are the same length as her arms. Very easy fix, good job though

Why thank youu! It looks much better now. Plus the back spikes alpha isn't on this one yet. Woopsies!

I know how you feel about relying on anyone but yourself, but I'm more than willing to model many things for ya (especially the characters). Sometimes your art guys can inspire you to keep motivated too ;-) My crazy work schedule is at ease now that I'm not playing manager anymore, so send some stuff my way. I'm unwrapping Shenron and the mountains as we speak and they will be available for unity by weeks end. Cheers!

Yeah we have a nice collaboration going on for ZWC. I really need to finish the unwrap, and call the big guy done. Thanks for your compliments :D

It's my pleasure :-D

relax killer. Do you even realize how much work it is do this on your own? He will get back to you, trust me

Awesome. This is a nice change from being beat in the face with normal/spec/ao maps all the time :-D

You just doing a simple diffuse map on these and having the engine handle the rest?

Ha! My DBZ drawings are all from about 7 or 8 years ago. Ill have to sift through some old notebooks and find em. But you can check out my temporary portfolio at along.carbonmade.com if you'd like. my actual website is being updated right now :-D

This really is phenomenal, especially considering how young you are! If ya need anything you know I got your back and I will art asset the day away for you. lol. Interfaces too, you're incredibly talented and are taking on some technical tasks I wouldn't even know how to approach. If you need an art guy tho, I'm your girl.
