Environment Artist Portfolio Feedback - Nicholas Clark

Hey everyone, I'm currently looking for a position as an environment artist and would appreciate some feedback on my site to help with the job hunt.

Here's the link: http://nicholasclarkartist.com/

Thanks for checking it out!

I like the way the scenes are presented and how the breakdown shots are done after you click on the thumbnails for a project, but I have to say, the thumbnails are poorly composed. They don't really make me wanna click them (even though the environments are actually pretty good when I do). So maybe have a bit more of a think about the composition of those shots.

Oh, and I reckon remove Walmart and the Valet job from your resume, basically completely irrelevant at this point.

thanks for the feedback. I'll try and rework the thumbnails.

the work is very good but the website made me feel like i was looking at an amateur before i even got to the screens. The overall presentation needs to be better. your screens need to take up the most space, right now they sit in middle then when i click its smaller in middle with huge text on right about very trivial information

Thanks for the feedback, but I'm not sure what you mean by the screens getting smaller once clicked. What browser are you using?

This is how it shows for me, image 1 displays a project page and image 2 is once a screenshot is clicked.

you need more beauty shots of the final environments and some wireframes, highpoly/lowpoly shots, polycounts etc

I am really having trouble with the way you are presenting your texture flats. They are very hard to get a good read on. I understand you are trying to introduce a bit of your creativity into presenting them with the circle motif, which is great, but it really makes it tough to make out.

I think the texture flats would look a lot better with a standard and consistant grid pattern or you could just break them up into seperate images.

I was on the fence with the circular breakdowns. I updated the textures with a more standard setup.
