So, I've actually started to make "art" again; if you can call textures as art. Right now I'm just drawing over and recoloring the old textures of models, so I'm still a very big n00b. The first texture I've made is a simple recolor of G-Man in Half-Life 2. Behold!
His pants aren't made of carpet. My biggest problem is texturing clothes. I can't make them look like actual clothes. I'm having trouble adding highlights, shadows, folds, etc.
