Is it possible for a programmer to do art as well? I''m talking about a fairly small game, 2D tiles, but 3D characters. What do you think? "And I invented the internet!" - Al Gore

Sure. The first program I ever made was done 100% minus the music by me. I completed it a few years back. Here's a shot

here if it doesn't show

Eventhough I work with a 3D artist and a 2D artist now, I'm going to do all the artwork for my 4 Elements contest entry. I know how Milk Shape works, and I am ok with Moray/POVRay. So its possible.

Happy Programming

Of course it''s possible.
I am an assistant lecturer in Computing ... and I think my drawings speak for themselves.
I am a Jack of all trades, master of none. But that''s fine by me.

Why do you worry about that anyway ? Just try

and only listen to constructive criticism.

youpla :-P

I''m both a pretty damn good artist and a pretty damn good coder, so it is possible. Of course I generally suck at "game art" (except textures). I can''t model with anything, and drawing sprites bores me, oh well...

Yes, sure it''s possible, but for sure not for me.. I''m an awful designer... (I don''t even have Photoshop installed :p, MS Paint rulez.. har har)...

I think I''m a pretty good coder though....
