[WIP] Portfolio Critique

Lotos

Hey polycounters!
Been recently let go from my first "game " job and I feel like my portfolio isn't up to snuff. I was hoping for a critique for what I should include and what I should work on.

Thanks for taking the time.

Here is my site:

What I'm noticing on your characters is that their skin has no color variation and because of that it looks really weird. Also you don't seem to be following the concepts very well and partly because of that the characters kinda of look generic and lifeless. Also, how come you didn't texture the vampire hunter.

You might want to put your drawings and 3d stuff on separate pages, or perhaps in different portfolios altogether, one for concept art, and another for character art. At any rate make sure you make your contact info very noticeable, I had a hard time noticing it.

Yeah, the character models had to follow an in house character rig and in house character texture setup that was predetermined by the existing code, but I see what you mean. your suggestions also make sense, I'll make sure to make asjustments, thank you!

Separate sections for each type of work is my biggest bit of advice. Leave the gorilla out, as it's one of your weakest pieces.

White background is kinda eww. Text at top left aligned with nothing on the right to match. It should either be centered.

Should have a menu bar links for Homepage, 3D, drawings and about me. If you keep the text at the top left aligned as it is your email/contact info should go on the right. Right now it looks like a plain HTML website with no CSS at all.

I also feel that if as you said

the character models had to follow an in house character rig and in house character texture setup that was predetermined by the existing code

you might be better served by making some models and textures now at home while you have no job that can show off what you can do without the restrictions you had in place there.

Thanks, I'll make sure to have a revision in soon, thanks for the advice. I've made a list of some of the stuff I'd like to do. Currently working on projects that will help fill out the site. And again thanks, this is a godsend.
