Hello, I've been a lurker here for a little while and I love this community! I'm putting my portfolio up for crits and comments. I would appreciate feedback on both the content and the website itself. Pretty much anything you see wrong or you don't like please let me know.

Note: the website is far from done. I just want some feedback so I don't keep going in a negative direction.

Thanks for viewing!

Looks pretty good so far, I like the style you're using.
The scribble of your name and job title is cool but I think it should be larger and more noticeable. Also, the 2-D page right now I think looks a little too sketchy and not professional enough. Your 3-D stuff is definately better than the 2-D, so I wonder if you should even keep it at all unless you get some nicer 2-D stuff to add?

Overall though, looking good and I like the layout and how navigating your site works. Get it done, I'd like to see how it ends up finished!

Mezz - Thanks! I agree I need to change the name I'm thinking the squid will be squirting out some ink and that will read into my name.

I also took out the 2d test page and put some work that I think is up to par. I'll have more character concept work and other doodles soon.

I like that mouseover thing you got going with those thumbnails, but I dislike it being used on the menus. Even though those menu icons make sense, I think it would still be better to put the text under it as well.

I dont like the background much, doesnt really fit in with the whole scrapbook feel. The background should be a scrap book

I suggest putting that copyright text somewhere else, right now its in the center of the whole site and its kinda getting in the way or at least I notice it too often when looking at your page, and I shouldnt.

I also dislike that red font on your "home" page, I prefer the way it looks on your resume page - it looks smaller and the top half of the letters dont look damaged, but thats a personal thing. Oh and a little nit pick; I dont like how you split up char - acter on the bottom of the home page


The models look cool, although the 2 humans look like they have the same faces. And what is going on with that blue monster thing at his torso area? Looks like something ripped his stomach out or something but its not reading very clear

Yozora - Thanks for the feedback! I moved the copyright to the side. I changed the font on the about me page to match that of the resume and even fixed the splitting of the word "character."

Thanks for the crits on the models, I agree with you. Instead of changing them I think I'll just do some new ones.

I also added a new character to the 3d page let me know what you think.

Other than that not a lot for updates.

More 2d stuff on the way I just need to scan it in.

Hey it's be a little while, but I've made some more changes. I've updated the 2d page with a couple more sketches. I've also done some changes with the resume page. I'll have some high poly stuff up soon I hope.
