Portfolio advice/critique for a 3D Generalist

BeardedMike · Nov 2017

I dread to make this thread but i'm at a point where I'm ready to accelerate my career and could use some direction and fresh eyes, maybe some suggestions on some projects I could add to it.

Here is my current portfolio,

https://wastelandart.artstation.com/

My question would be, In the past the advice I've got was to stick to one skillset in my portfolio. So I've focused on modeling and prop creation. That being said I have experience in rigging and animation, is there any value to showing these skills in my portfolio?

Quick background, I have a degree in Modeling and Animation and work full time as an artist at a mobile game studio. At work I am involved in the entire pipeline, from concept, to asset creation, to animation, but our projects are entirely 2D in Unity. While I enjoy my work, 2D just isn't where my heart is at, so over the last few years in my free time I have been building my 3D portfolio and learning new skills.

There are a few things I know about my portfolio,

- It needs more diversity in projects (What i'm working on now)
- I need to cut some of the projects that aren't as strong
- I put a lot of hours in to my portfolio, but to be honest i'm really starting to doubt myself on it

Thanks everyone

I'd scrap the Suzuki toolbox. It's not as interesting as your other props. For the rigging/animation, on the top of the website, where it says "Homepage - Portfolio - Resume", why not have it say "Modeling & Texturing - Rigging & Animation - Resume"? Have a separate section for your modeling portfolio and rigg/anim portfolio. I'd also scrap the homepage, its not doing anything for your website. Those are my two cents.
