Need Critiques for improve my website and Work

Tfordham

Hello. My name is Tyrone Fordham and I am new to the polycount website. I'm an Entry level Environment and Prop Artist and I need good critiques from my peers to help me improve on my work. I'm trying to get my foot in the door with a small game company and do some freelance work on the side.  Thanks you for taking the time to look at my website and critique my work in advance.

First of all, get rid of the Snake in the Grass stuff. It really doesn't look good. Your props are better, but still look very PS2-era; I'd recommend reading up on modern PBR techniques, and really taking your time to get good normal and roughness maps.

Format-wise, the way you've interspersed your resume and your portfolio is weird and inconvenient. Split them off into separate pages.

Your website is not very viewer friendly. I have said it before and I will again here, you are not a web designer. Do not design or attempt to build a website. Use a site that is meant to display your work as easily as possible for you and a prospective Art Lead/HR. I recommend Artstation, an example is my portfolio in my signature.

Ill be brutally honest. Nothing on your site is current gen quality. I would research various tutorials and research PBR. Start a new prop, make it a damn good AAA prop. Use reference, use inspiration, use another artist's rendition as a goal to exceed or match.

Some good references for PBR texturing:
