[August 2014 Update]

Made a quick update to my portfolio site last night to include some of the publicly released media of Far Cry 4 from Gamescom that revealed the Shangri-La portion of the game with my level!

Keep your eyes peeled on here after November 18th for a proper high-resolution goodness art dump (and not compressed video screenshots :P!)

Crits/feedback welcome as always!

Glimpse Intro Kyrat Trailer - Far Cry 4

This was a long overdue update to my website, but better late than never, yeah? Brand new website made from scratch (finally ditched carbon made!) and got all my environment art work from Splinter Cell Blacklist up on there for your perusal! Crits/feedback welcome !

Really nice stuff man, really loved the texture flats on your site

I loved Blacklist most likely the last great game of the current console gen. Lots of really nice environment work you have there, really like the materials, great definition. Trying to find something to be critical on but I can't lol


I really like your site layout too, keeps it really simple but its not just a blank html page with images at the same time.

Nice, very nice, the texture work is crisp

I've no idea why you included that video link.

I'd place the menu buttons on their own line.

The fonts overall are rather large; I'd drop the size of everything except the body text by 1-2 sizes. This will also make for easier viewing on tablets or windowed browsers.

Get rid of the forward slashes ('/') at the start of each description; if you want to indent, tabs or even spaces would be a better choice.

The down arrow at the start of each major section generally implies that the section can be expanded/contracted; it doesn't really serve any purpose here.

grr... unrealistic lens flares, but those are probably part of the engine anyway...

Your portfolio includes only professional work from a single project. There's nothing wrong with that, but it would be nice to see a bit more variety, possibly something you have chosen on your own.

For the props, it would be nice to see wireframes, texture sheets, and poly counts.

Everything seems rather gray and washed out. This was probably more of a design decision by your art director than your own choice. Some personal projects, however, would add variety.

For the props, it would be nice to see wireframes, texture sheets, and poly counts. Kind of curious to see what is other people's opinion on this. I don't seem to see a lot of that anymore in other people's portfolios once they're actually in the industry, super important when you're first breaking in for sure, but once you're in it? Is it that important anymore to see?

Everything seems rather gray and washed out. This was probably more of a design decision by your art director than your own choice. Some personal projects, however, would add variety. Yeah, it was kind of a problem we struggled with early on with the level, we tried to inject as much color as we could in the environment itself, but yeah, the lighting kind of flattens it out in some cases.
