Painting with Fury - Matt Dixon



* (one star rating)

Matt doesn't include his brushes with the tutorial, so you can't replicate his look. The tutorial is okay in that it teaches you how to use the multiply layer and painting from dark to light. However I wouldn't recommend (until he makes a tutorial about his brushes, which he promised to do via email). Matt Dixon has great art though and I think it's worth watching to see if he puts out some good tutorials with brushes included.

Low Poly Sci Fi rifle tutorial - Kelvin Tan



***** (five star rating)

I really dig the way this guy explains things - real simple and clear. Shows you how to texture a model (already UV'd) in 3d coat. Covers baking AO, using 3d Coat and photoshop. Nice result as well. The guy worked for Blizzard so he knows what he's talking about.

AO tutorial - Alex Negrea

***** (five star rating)

I dig this tute because of the method used. His other one is alright but really sloppy result (when zoomed in). This one is high detail and really great. If you want to make sixmorevodka style character art this is a good starting point.

Bog witch tutorial - Dave Rapoza

Sweet vid and I use some of his brushes myself. There's two parts and I prefer the latter one since I don't really like his line art stuff. Goes into his painting process and shows how he gets it so detailed. He talks about a lot of other stuff so it's good value at 5 $ a vid.
