First half of my week... (art post WoW fanz might like)
18 years ago
An inquiry from a second potential employer. The recruiter at the studio liked what she saw, and requested samples of my 3D and texture work. The downside: I don't really HAVE any samples. The upside: I'm a little more encouraged now, the first potential job that came my way wasn't a fluke (though it didn't pan out).
So! About 8 months ago I had started a retexture for the Arcanist set in World of Warcraft, but then Blizzard patched the game so custom textures couldn't be loaded, so I stopped it after only two textures were completed. Even though it wasn't my model, and I had a guide to work from for the original textures, I figured that was the best place to start. So here, have some pics!

Set applied to an Orc:

Set applied to a Tauren:

Set applied to a Gnome:

I won't get the job, but it was fun and challenging doing these.
In other news, I've worked up something silly and got it approved, but I won't share any details yet (only with my buddypals in my IRC channel, mwah). You'll all find out soon enough!

Great job. :)
Not sure what you mean by overwhelming, though. I can't change the actual model - that would have been way too involved. As for the redone texture, the lava/rocks stretched unexpectedly in some places, making them look smaller than I had anticipated, but other than that I think the texture itself came out well, especially the filigree. :)
But besides of that I'm still amazed of what you did, lol. :D
