[Portfolio] Ivo Nies, Concept Artist
polycounter lvl 18
Whooot! finally have my website up and running again.
EVILART.BIZ
My buddy Wildstyle helped me setting it all up and gave some great advice!
Guess there is also a shoutout needed to Jon Jones for his awesome article! your portfolio repels jobs
So maybe people have been to my url before, and found a silly floating eyeball on it, well, not anymore!
There isn't much on it yet, but I can assure you it wont take long for it to fill up. Now I can focus on content building and expand my portfolio.
So please, crit the site, work, resume, etc.
I'm on display here and you can give critique on everything!

I belive your strongest pieces are the 4 at the top, where they should be really xD Am i to assume these are your personal works? which brings me to my next point.
Breaking up personal and professional work might be a good idea too. It might not need anything more than a note underneath the image giving a brief description.
The colorwork on the top image is great, love it!
Id love to see a little more work, or maybe even a sketch category so potential employers can see your looser work. As you know, we dont always get enough time to render things out as nicely as you have for most of that work. Also maybe some subject matter that is a little more fantastic/imaginative.
Great stuff though!
I hope I can show those someday
Would maybe put all your tabs and or resume link at bottom of the page to, just a thought.

Btw, as for critiques. Don't know if you or the rest of the crew agrees or not. But if I counted right - your #4-12-13 pieces are the weakest links simply because they are not as polished as your other works. However, I don't feel as though they hurt your port much (if at all), if you did decide to keep them there.
Those detailed environments look really fucking time consuming but theyre no doubt really useful too.
It'd been nice to see some more images that are definitively you though as i like what youre teasing with
And the css thing's such a neat trick!
Really good way to start offf your foio, I feel like if I were looking to hire you, I would be sending the email before I even scrolled past that first work.
Too bad im not in charge of hiring :P
@ imijatov - thnx for returning for a crit! if I would remove a couple of pieces, it would be the last 2, maybe I will scale them down and huddle them up next to each other so they wont be so in your face if I decide to keep them.
So something that I am thinking of doing, will be splitting it up into a professional and personal section once I get more work to show like MartinH suggested.
I am also looking into putting up a follow up page once you click on each piece and do a bit more talking around it, like explaining certain design decisions. Sounds like valuable information for future employers. Maybe I can play around with some css and do some neat hide and unhide div tricks to stream line the experience, keeping the viewer on just the single front page.
what do you guys think?
At first I thought those interiors were high resolution 3d renders until I spotted some more obvious brush strokes on the third one, that's awesome haha!
Would love to see more crude concepts like the ship or the nerdy guy even though they're not as detailed as the other pieces.
since its production work, there is a bit of cheating involved, sketchup with a base texture applies to the surfaces and take shots of other angles to get the perspective of the reflections right (love doing reflections).
@ snader - yeah, I did some preparation offline for detail pages, but apparently I must have uploaded it when adding the footer link to hurl you back to the top of the page.
That was fucking AWESOME!!
