:/ i have found most of the indi users DA accounts

and a few have found mine

not really worth a thread, spose its good for a few page views.

btw stop making anime/game wallpapers ;P it drains artistic ability. slowely, like an unplugged bath full of double cream and cotton wool.

i mean that in the most positive of positive ways

this is some of my very old beggining in the 3d world, i used to paint those on walls, always legally tho... well, some tags were not legal hehehe, you know, well that was my hobby before i discovered blender, and indigo of course... you can check all my drawings in this (5 year old) web (i was 14 when i drew those): http://geocities.com/nyheto1/imagenes.html

hehehe i think it's not 2d, but traditional art... anyway, it's 2d cause it's on plain paper!!!

Yeah it's my natural talent, I was born to be an artist, I've been drawing things since I was a 3-4 years old

I just never made use of that talent in a professional way to earn a living or go onto bigger and better things. Not from lack of trying either. I studied graphic design. I did apply for odd artistic jobs, comics and fashion, and even at Disney, but competition is fierce!

That's also why I struggle a bit with the 3D/Modelling/Computer side of things, I'm more a feel/imagination artistic person, not a maths/technical/coder type. A Graphic tablet helps, but I wish 3D modelling was more like drawing

The creature creator in Spore is more like what I hope 3D Modelling will be like one day. Being able to mold and sculpt things easily. I know ZBrush and those types of programs sort of do that, but still not that easy to use.

Yep, that's what I've always thought. At least some degree of artistic talent is needed to do such stuff. I have zero drawing and zero math skills, but I still love 3D for some reason. You can easily "model" a "perfect cube" in 3D without any skills and that's cool

that old Amiga drawing is great, should make an animated gif out of it!!

"I want the font in 16 colors and 32 pixels wide"

Graphics guy: "but its 17 colors and 28 pixels wide isnt that ok?"
