3d Environmental and Texture artist

I am 3d environment and texture artist, and i had never considered potentially selling out my services to indie projects or a job before, and i would like your opinions on the matter.

I am curious as to whether anyone would be interested in purchasing fairly priced, high quality environment art or to hire out my services for specific things. and if so, whether i should sell it in packs or individually.

Personally i think i would be much more useful if people hired me for specific tasks, models and textures.
While I do intend to create packs later on, and I will sell individual models, I would much rather be paid a small amount to make stuff for specific people/projects. The amount i would charge anyone would not be worth the work involved truly, but with more generic pieces of art I may request that the ownership for it remain mine.

Also I do have extensive experience in a position as a lead artist in charge of art assets and team management for over a year on an independent dev project, and 3 years of game art creation experience. If anyone would like to see more work or a resume, you can contact me at Shigee_1357@hotmail.com via msn/yahoo or email.

Here are examples of my work. Please comment. most of whats here i can tell you takes around 4-8 hours to complete, but i would not base prices on hours, and i would endeavor to provide reasonably priced services to all based on the art and project.

Here is an example i have done for Assault Knights. it is 330 polys and uses a 1024x1024 texture for everything. Includes normal and specular maps.

This is a chinese bell temple i made solely for practice. 645 polys and a single 1024 texture, specular and normal map.


This is bamboo i made for practice. 35 polys and a 256 texture,specular and normal maps all hand painted.


This is a set of 2 sky-dome sky textures in high rezolution i have created for one of my main projects. Both night and day textures are done through 4-7 hours of hand painting and photo manipulation and give a sense of realism and depth to a level. they are seemless and wrap around a 360 degree skydome. This is how they appear if you look at them when applied to a dome.




Here is a simple Metal Crate i did for practice. 50 poly high-rez on the left and low (6) poly model on the right. Texture,Normal and Specular on high rez is 512x512.



Here are a few plants i made. 1024 texture/specular and normal maps. they work well on 512 also.


Here are a couple sets of grass. they each use a single texture and have several variations of the grass so you dont have too much repetition.



I have not shown much modeling, but here is an example of a character mesh. 460 polys for the body and the armor is 900, higher due to the way its being used.

And here is a Weapon Concept of a frost blade.
