It isn't the hardest thing to make, but I think it looks nice enough to get posted. Try not to comment on lack of talent, but more on how it looks.

Thanks.

Pretty cool, it doesn't really have a "crest."

wow to think you've had enough of that abstract crap =\ it looks pretty good i guess... =\

Lol, well most of you are light years ahead of my skill.

you're right we are :D

It does look night, simple but nice a good Wallpaper for older people.

*yawns* I've always heard to properly and fully use 3D engines, you have to be able to draw by hand in 2D first.

I wouldn't really call this a 3d engine.

i don't think tai knows what he's talking about

You dont know how to draw, it helps out tho. Its all artistic skills.

you don't need to learn to draw... that's what concept artists are hired for =\

I agree, like I said it helps, but if you gave me a pencil and told me to draw, you will get a smiley face and thats it. If I put my time into it, I can make some great art on computer. My step-dad has been drawing/painting forever, and he learns quicker than me, but doesnt mean you have ot know how to draw.

ya... for 3d... drawing is basically practicing your anatomy (which you can learn with 3d anyway) and using your drawings as a reference but we can always hire concept artists to do that... i myself can draw reasonably well (among the general 3d public, not professional concept artists) so i don't have to waste money on concept artists :)

Yeah I cant draw at all, so me and a friend are going to team up. He draws, I model, he textures, and I animate :P

ooo textures? does he have a tablet? they make your life a HELL alot easier

I dunno, I just he like to texture stuff, he dosent have inet yet, so just downloads stuff here like Models and then textures them.

well he should really get a tablet if he doesn't have one... he can really get pro :D

What is a tablet? I want to learn about texturing too :P

Actually, I do. If an artist can do what someone does with a 3d program, without the tools they used, they'll be much much more capable when they DO use the tools they used. *shrugs* I don't exactly peg alot or any of the people here as artists.

tablet is a thing you plug into your computer it's like a pad thing and you get a pen so it's easier to use the mouse to draw... it makes it feel like a real pen/pencil... like a palm :)

Oh I seen those, his GrandFather has one for his Art. I dont think he has one, they cost a lot, right?

not really... 300~ for a pretty good one... i say that's pretty good ;)

wow, i was thinking a lot higher than that, do you know a link to one? just so I can check it out?

wacom is the company that make them i think... i don't have a link right off the top of my head but if you go search on google i don' think it should be long til you get some results :)

ok thanks, that seems very interesting

nod you can get a bigger pad... it's just more expensive :) but i find the 300~ one sufficient enough and good enough :)

If my friend dosent have one of those, I am most likely sure he would get one. He has so much money it makes me sick :P

lol ya there are people like that... anyway... get a pad, it'll definitely help you with your texturing work and your CG painting work in general :) very useful in deed i'd say

Yeah I am going to look those up for sure, if anything my step-dad(he can draw very well) would help me get it since he would love to use it himself.

nod definitely :) i've been wanting to color my hand draw drawings on the computer for years... taking that i'm getting a tablet soon that may be possible :D

Nice, yeah thanks for letting me know about those, I told my cousin once I should invite something like that... in these days people think of new things to quickly :P

you know the great thing about this? (btw bezier: you should get this) it is pressure detect... i mean c'mon... can you say air brushing heaven? :D

what size tablet is a good avg one?

try the 300 one that would be plenty i say

what is the Size of them? like inch wise?

not sure, again check the wacom website :D

ok, I just noticed something do they display the screen? I will just go to the site and see.

only tablet PCs display the screen, normal tablets only move the mouse on your screen :)

I am thinking of getting a tablet PC, I know it would cost more... but would be worth it. My grandparents would loan me the money. I seen one for 2k, it was 21inch very nice but to much $$ for me :P
