I congratulate your patience. I started on something like that a while back, but after five minutes of trying to add detail, I decided to go watch TV. None of my drawings take more than 20 minutes tops.

i really suck at drawing unless i sit down and really try... its crazy ppl on tv pick up a pencil and draw a village in like 15 minutes...i spend like 10 minutes on one piece of wood...

I think the next class for Realm Wars we want is a human, just to balance out the fact that right now we have an Elf and an Orc. (Would like to keep the variety up)
Actually we have a pitcure of an Asian-style monk in the RW gallery that I think would be good as an in-game class, a healer/close range fighter.
But, anyway that sketch is great, we should get it added to the RW concept gallery if you want.

Joe awesome. I am like you, I can draw some nice looking stuff but I'm not a natural, it takes me a long time and if I'm out of practice I have to get back into shape.I think the next class for Realm Wars we want is a human, just to balance out the fact that right now we have an Elf and an Orc.

Nice work too with that pic. very, very detailed - i could tell that it would have taken a while for even experienced concept artists. I am very impressed! Would you be able to do some concept for me (like a sword that a human would use and maybe a projectile such as a medievil grenade)

Also make sure that you are running the latest point release, so that's 3.1, 4.2x, or 5.0.

Joe check your video driver to make sure thats up to date, if you are having problems with OpenGL or DirectX display switch into Heide mode by changing the launch path to "\3dsmax.exe -h". If you are still having problems after this then you will need to contact Discreet directly because it is an issue for them to help you out with, not the GG community.Also make sure that you are running the latest point release, so that's 3.1, 4.2x, or 5.0.

Joe: I had that problem at one point, I had turned on GF3 emulation and then turned antialiasing on. Turning that stuff off got rid of it

I have a model I made of the monk, but havn't had any luck exporting it as a player yet :\ Everytime I try, I get no errors, it just crashes straigt to the desktopJoe: I had that problem at one point, I had turned on GF3 emulation and then turned antialiasing on.

If this is true, it is very disturbing. Until we find out for sure, I have removed the art from the gallery. Let me know if anybody can verify this.

Here is an email I just recieved:Quote:
I was just browsing the D & D book Enemies and Allies and I saw that exact same picture. I could send you a screenshot, but it's 700K so I thought I would ask first.
The picture I'm talking about is the one with the text

This was underhanded and unscrupulous. We have no need for that kind of crap here.

OK. As if it will do any good, I just deleted the little bastard from the GG site.This was underhanded and unscrupulous. We have no need for that kind of crap here.
