Art tests are cool

Looking at this environment artist test now, it's actually quite bad, and I did a lot of things that REAL environment artists would NEVER do. But by going through this rather long/arduous process, I learned a LOT. One of those things I learned is that I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing when it comes to environment art (Texel Density, ya never really payed much attention to that...). So these models were provided by the game studio, but all the textures are mine.

Anyways, even though I did a bunch of pointless work and didn't get the job, what I took away from the experience was knowledge and... power? (knowledge = power, right?) Art tests are SO COOL
