[GALLERY] Chains' Scribbles

[Crackers]

Well if any of you know some modding sites in which I could look for a team, do not hesitate to post them.

[Higuy]

No offense chains, but you did have a to work with team, until you quit...

[Crackers]

I am fine with the conversation, it is relevant.

Anyways your suggestion to get known in the modding community is an interest I have always had, I just can't find a decent mod team that isn't working on a almost dead game. I was on Higuy's project for a while, but I just can't get into halo anymore, I had loads of fun back in the day, but I just don't feel that spirit anymore for it.

Also working on a mod for halo will not get my name out there, I will have a better chance working in an up to date game.

You might be surprised. H2CE got NiTrOuSoXiDe noticed.

That said, yes, latching onto a team working with CryEngine 3 would be far more ideal. Try Crydev and Crymod as areas to search. IMDB might also be a useful place to look up mods for games that you're into. Most teams I see are short-handed in one way or another.

you do concept art.
how does an engine have ANYTHING to do with that?

also, 'getting your name out' doesn't mean dick to be honest.
just make kickass art, and your name will get out regardless of what you do.

the type of project you work on is ABSOLUTELY irrelevant to wether or not you get better.
unless you want to get 'famous on the interbutts' (i know i sure as hell wouldn't want to be)

i mean this in a totally non-offensive way, but it sounds like you've got a feeling of 'i'm too good for this' going on.

that being said, i realise there's not much creative freedom n doing a halo-mod, and you'd have a better chance of making cool stuff (non-halo stuff) in a (ahem) 'real' mod.

Sorry if it came off as 'i'm too good for this', I didn't mean it like that at all.

I think Higuy's campaign is amazing, it is more of a personal issue and as you said creative freedom. Furthermore while the engine does not matter, I feel a newer mod on a newer engine will get my artwork seen. If I do kickass art and it is for a game that people do not look up anymore, how will it be viewed? Also higuy's mod and any halo mod here is just as 'real' as any other mod, but from my experience the instant people hear the words 'halo' and 'artwork' they have instant disdain and consider me some 14 year old fanboy.

On a final note, for the better part of me learning digital art (The last 3 years or so) I have been doing halo art and I am to be honest burned out on anything closely related to it.

UDK is always a solid place to search for projects (considering there are a plethora of them). You may also want to try the Nexus forum ones for projects revolving around Fallout or Elder Scrolls games.

Chains, get a online portfolio together and solicit yourself here

And no, concept art is concept art anywhere you go. It dosent depend on the mod, it depends on your quality and how well you perform, and if you have a portfolio on a site like game artist or polycount. I can understand you not working on a halo mod becuase thats all you've done and your out of creative ideas, but saying that you don't want to do it becuase you wont get notice is utter bullshit.

[Crackers]

Higuy, I do not want any hard feelings between us and I do legitimately feel that my work will get noticed on a newer game because simply more people will run into it. I have no reason to make a statement made of 'utter bullshit' as what would that accomplish at all, so please tone it down a bit. I am sorry if your post was not meant to be harsh, but I can't help but feel a bit of hostility from you.
