Portfolio struggle
Hi there,
I worked until recently on animated feature film as a 3d Artist. So i am looking for a new project. Problem is that i can't show the work i did on the film until it's release next summer... I started to worry a bit because aside projects i did in school, i don't have much to show. I figured it is okay to show i could do several things like modeling, lighting etc. But i guess it's hard to find a job when you're not specific? So i would love to get some critiques and some advice on how to approach my portfolio. Here is the link to my website(https://editor.wix.com/html/editor/web/renderer/edit/723de0b7-e8fc-467b-87fd-793c2c4f2e79?metaSiteId=97744b19-9a38-41ec-b57c-456c93b07525&editorSessionId=ba135be4-84ac-449f-8b5c-38c66208aabf&referralInfo=dashboard) and artstation(https://www.artstation.com/weli) Thank you in advance

I'm certainly no expert but I think you need to decide on what area you want to specialize in. Looking through your Artstation, you seem to be kind of all over the place. Do you want to do environments, props, characters, 2d, 3d? Its hard to tell.
Your crab robot is the best thing on there. I would maybe remove everything else and keep that. Then get started on some new project to show since even that is over a year old at this point. Just my $0.02
Thank you for your reply. Here is the correct URL this time : https://hueiliyap.wixsite.com/portfolio
I certainly have a hard time to pinpoint wich exact direction i want to specialize. But is it possible to start maybe more as a general artist and grow into more specialized artist in the future? I recently ended working on a feature film where i did the lighting and compositing. So it's again in 3D but an other area...
