Looking For Portfolio Critique

Tobbe880

Hello!

I am currently trying to build a portfolio to get my first studio job as a concept artist. So far I have not had any success in my job hunt. So I am currently questioning my portfolio and skill level. I am not sure what is lacking at the moment and what needs to be worked on. I am in need of outside opinions and advice on how to make my portfolio more appealing to game studios.

I would be very thankful if someone could point out holes in my portfolio or things I need to improve.

carvuliero Thank you for taking the time to give me feedback. Could you elaborate a little on what you mean?

Good old reflection highlights the thing that pretty much describe what the materials surface is

What I mean by VFX is neon lights monitor display effect/glow hoover engine effect/glow hologram effect/glow smoke all of this are very simple in 2d

Your line drawings are pretty  good but colored illustration need a lot more work , material separation and all the composition tricks like focal point areal prospective and so on

Dont worry someone will hire you soon enough your ortho drawing are good enough to be given to a modeler
