Best way to mix concept work and 3d in a folio?

TomGT

I intend to apply to both a 3d modeller position as well as a concept artist. How do I tailor my folio to apply to two different practices (3d modeller and concept artist)?

I can see how original concept art can complement my 3d work, but I am unsure of the reverse since my 3d work are strictly based on other peoples concepts.

Separate sections on my site is easy to do but that leaves me to decide what the homepage would be like, or rather what do I show upfront by default. I was also considering a separate site as a solution.

P.S I have not published my personal concepts online, in case you checked my site. Lets assume they are of equal quality.

I guess the question I am missing here - or is sort of implied... is you've never taken one of your own concepts and turned it into a model? Seems to me that would be the way to go for sure. IE: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/shark-spaceship (I just posted that the other day so its fresh in my mind).

Ideally you could break it out into more detail than just "concept -> Done" to show your style and methodology. A couple pieces like that would be all it would take I imagine, the rest doesn't have to be "connected" so much as show your general talent.

@ironbelly: I have taken my own concepts into 3d before but at the moment I've been keeping both practices separate. Although yes, a piece that incorporates both is probably ideal.

I suppose my main question is

How do I tailor my folio to apply to two different practices (3d modeller and concept artist)?

Should I be looking at making a separate online folio for each?

I'll edit the main post to clarify what I'm asking about more.

Not that my work is currently up to standard (example) but a simple tagging/sorting system normally helps. Also a heads up, you have a random pop up bar on the bottom of the page when you mouse near it

You could just go the simplest route and have:

http://tommygteguh.com/ (all your work)
http://tommygteguh.com/3d (tailored)
http://tommygteguh.com/2d (tailored)

Last thing, when you choose a domain name, a good rule of thumb is that you can say it to someone without spelling it out. Other than that, excellent work!

Thanks for the feedback Lazerus! Yeah I think there's really no other way other than making it separate like that to get it tailored to two different needs.

Good point about the domain name. My last name is arguably hard to pronounce correctly in english.
