Oh, hurray, and he has a hotmail address. What a professional.
Yeah, you should really have a Live address these days!
cooooooool…lets spam him…
I’ll do it for the right price. Post a sketch at least.
and dont put your email address like that unless you really want spam every day for the next n years…
Why should we trust a guy whose email address is “bandit”???
Roofoo: :evilgrin:
people should really learn to post things correctly…
Let’s write a book entitled “Project Proposals for Dummies”

you get the drift. dont take it personal, but at least show people that you have got something, know one will pinch it and make millions. unless it was a really awesome idea, then you wouldnt be on a forum asking for people now wud ya :no:
but yea, if you post some descriptions/ images/ ideas/ something about your self im sure people would be nice 
Hey, no problem, give me a call @ 1-800-872-2769 ext. 181 (toll free number).
We can do it!
yeah thats right, my email is [email protected]
help me model…a duck. yes, thats right, then rig it, make sure its good, then send it to me and i might pay you.
i love seeing stuff like that.
Anyone maybe thought that he’s using a hotmail address, cuase he does not want to get spammed. He also did not make any false or unrealistic promises. He is propably just looking for real character designers. Why should he post all details of the job description on a public forum?
Do you guys want to make sure that nobody would ever post for jobs in this forum? If I was a character designer, looking for work, I’d have emailed him.
Like, I said, he did not post any promises of a new mmorpg/movie that he’s been working on for 3 years, but cannot show anything about it, since his hdd crashed. Or promise to pay you, once his movie hits the boxoffice. Read the post and think before you rip people off.
Yes!! We all like to tell people how to post even though we’re not exactly qualified in the “professional posting” industry.
Of course, someone asking for artwork must already have artwork to show!!! Logical thinking of a 10 year old, I love it. Starting up a new business? show us your previous sucessfull business first …
ebow & lukus: Aha. Well. Funny thing is, he didn’t make any promises at all. Like, not even for payment, and I know this is fairly arbitrary, but he doesn’t sound like a professional. Assuming that he is, though, a professional who drops glib, one-line posts asking that people model and rig a character for him without any information as to what it’d be used for or any kind of payment, I’m not entirely sure how many people snap up the offers.
See, we’ve seen a lot of these posts. Like, a lot. People just assume that everyone will jump on the bandwagon and make them free stuff. I’m not sure why, but it’s getting old.
We could give him the benefit of the doubt, but somehow I’m not sure that when he said ‘i’m looking for someone who can model and rig a character email me at this hotmail address’ he ACTUALLY meant to say “Hello, my name is Simon Mattila and I am looking for someone who can, on commision, model and rig a character for me. It’s for (such and such a) project, so I’d like to get it done within a reasonable amount of time so I can get to animation.” This is assuming he doesn’t also want us to texture it for him. “I am willing to start payment at $150 for someone to create a high-poly model, and bake a normal-map of it to a low-poly asset suitable for (such and such) an engine with (such and such) a poly count. Please send or link to a portfolio or resume that shows you have experience in high-poly character work. My email address is [email protected] blah blah blah, blah blebbidy bloo, something something. Sincerely, someone.”
What this does is get the person respect. So we know they’re serious.
What the other guy said was “I WANT SOMEONE TO MAKE ME SOME STUFF TO KNOW HOW TO MAKE ME STUFF EMAIL ME AT THIS HOTMAIL ADDRESS”
It isn’t the hotmail address I was making fun of. I said “and he’s got”, which means “in addition to the unprofessional and vague way he presented himself.”
Tons of people do the exact same thing as he did, with the exact same vagueness and the exact same failure to mention anything like compensation, so you should probably forgive us for failing to percieve the shining spirit with and lumping him in with all the other people who have done the exact. same. thing.
Honestly. 
Also, Lukus. You’re adorable when you’re sarcastic. Re: the first sentence of your last, wonderfully smarmy paragraph: Your logic sucks. It isn’t that we need to see them doing something that they might not be capable of. If they suck at character modeling, fine. It’s that we need to see, in the face of ‘i want people to make me awesome stuff for free’ that they at least have the dedication and intelligence to accomplish something.
Generally speaking, serious, concise employment ads read something like “Established graphics studio with solid client base seeks services of a competent 3D modeller and rigger. Remuneration comensurate with experience. Apply to… with resume”
It’s not a matter of listing everything, it’s a simple question of being professional when seeking professional help. If spatch is serious then there’s no need to take any posts here as insults but as suggestions as to how to professionally approach potential employees. If you assume every vague request for assistance to be genuine by default you’re setting yourself up for a lot of disappointment.
As for the hotmail address, the problem is that this could just as easily be nothing more than an email address collector - like the spam mails I receive offering to buy specific works from my website if I reply to …@… Though I’m sure that’s not the case here, perhaps you should use a hotmail account as your own return address when you send your resume.
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s usually a duck - but professional people who disguise themselves as ducks might get mistaken for ducks too. In spatch’s case, a quick forum search suggests he’s just young and eager - and hopeful - and struggling with Blender.
It did not walk or quack like a duck. It was a simple short and direct post stating that he is looking for a character designer. If anyone is interested, just email him. No spam, no trawling. Simple and professional.
In reply, there were just a lot of wise-crack answers. Maybe some of you people should learn to recognise a duck’s quack better…
