Quick prop portfolio question

Gallamanji

I'm building a portfolio of props, I have 3 props ready to texture, 1 is already textured PBR. I was considering doing them all PBR in substance, but is it a good idea to texture some non PBR, using just Photoshop - to show some variety in skill and technique?

Maybe depends on the art style... If you're aiming for realistic, then PBR all the way.  If it's a stylized asset, or super lowpoly, then you can texture it differently. (handpainted, flat color + highlight, etc etc)

you can see the textured prop (lamp) and the other 3 which are ready to texture there. Note, I still want to fix the glass on the lamp, tweak some of the textures and present it properly.

I'm talking outta my arse here. But I'd do PBR realistic texture on those. They appear pretty detailed and realistic to me.   I dunno why; but it seems handpainted style is mostly reserved for pretty low poly stuff. I remember seeing someone textured a pretty detail model (character) like a painting, though. Like, Impressionist style painting or something. Was pretty cool to see it.

Target your portfolio to styles of games/places you want to work on/at.
