Scared Straight : I Want to Make Video Game Art for a Living! 

No doubt! Don't read me wrong here .. I LOVE working on video game art. I just don't necessarily love clean up tasks. :)

Truthfully, I do too ... but there are some days...

It CAN be a zen-like experience. It's just ... sometimes ... man ...

Sometimes it IS good. You put some tunes on, start stitching things, let your mind wander a little ... it's good for the head.

Let this be a lesson to you all. Whatever that lesson may be ...

@@WarrenMarshallBiz does video game art mean prop for game or what? sorry i am not a pro in this industry haha

Sure ... props, environments, vehicles, whatever. I just used a generic term to cover the idea.

@@WarrenMarshallBiz hey if you dont mind can you check out my artstation www.artstation.com/desmondlee24 and see what kind of jobs suit me in the 3d industry? i really like hardsurface concept design..but i am not sure how to look for job T.T , i hope i dindt bother you too much haha

Just taking a quick look, it looks like you have a solid grasp on high poly modeling ... and I think the title you picked out "hardsurface concept design" is appropriate. :) I think you need to keep going, refining your design skills, expand the portfolio and do things to make yourself visible. It'll happen, you definitely have the ability.

Haha, not sure the comparison is on the appropriate level but ... thanks! :)

Michelangelo is to Leonardo as Maya is to Modo :) lol

You know, honestly ... I think I dislike the high poly phase the most. I enjoy making the low poly, the UVs, the bakes. I find that satisfying.

Wow, that seems surprising to me. I definitely enjoy high poly and texturing the most. But I must say low poly and uvs can be quite relaxing. To each their own I guess. Baking is hit or miss for me. On one hand I love it because it's finally shaping up as a finished model. But on the other, I don't enjoy troubleshooting bakes. Especially on client work where some of the baking restrictions can be so limiting.

I have nothing but love for my subd brethren. :)

Yep, that mesh was hit with a lot of booleans. I mean, it still saves time in the end and it's usually clean but this time ... things went a little pear shaped.
