Junior Student- Need help with Resume and Portfolio Feedback

Meldyran

First of all, thank you for taking the time for looking over this thread. I'll be applying to studios like Riot and Blizzard for the summer student internship opportunities as a Concept/Environment Concept artist, and I was hoping some of you could give me some advise on my portfolio and other requirements.

I have already made some basic research on writing a Resume for a game studio so for the most part I feel like I have a good start, but considering how little experience I'm having trouble making a resume with little fluff but that still looks professional.

Here is a link to my Draft:

Though Because I know that for Art positions what is mostly going to speak for you is your portfolio I was also hoping I could have some feedback on what kinds of things I could improve, or what I could add to make it more appealing. I am in a position right now to make at least one more piece for my portfolio. So I was wondering if I could improve it that way, or simply polish what I already have.

Here is a link to my Portfolio:

I would really appreciate any help you can give. Thank you so much!

There's a lot of things on your main portfolio page that could be removed, the 2nd image and the concept drawing of the rocks are a bit repetitive and boring compared to the rest of your work. I would try to limit the main page to finished concepts, but some of your polished thumbnail sketch sheets look great as well, maybe have a link at the end for more sketches and thumbnails.

On my screen the background of your website flickers when i scroll the page. The drawings are pretty nice.

You should also consider moving your portfolio from blogspot an get your own site. This way you can change a lot more to make the site your very own and make it more interesting for possible employers.

Hope this helps! /onewinged
