[Portfolio] – Said Zaree

Diwan

Hey all, so I'm about to graduate from The Art Institute (finally) and I've put together a portfolio page. I'd like to get some feedback on it, its not quite finished yet but getting there. The water tower needs better shots and texture samples for instance.
I was also wondering if lightbox is something that is good to have for game art portfolio pages? I'd like the viewer to stay on the same page and not have to go back and forth to view the high rez images. Please C&C also the art work.

Thanks

wow, I think your stuff is great. I also like how you can switch from different styles like full realism on the props, cartoony stylized on the environment prototype and a little of both on the fountain. Very good.

Yes! I dig this site. The quality and variety are outstanding. I don't really care for that lightbox stuff.

noice!

Hey thanks guys!
cholden so stay away from lightbox?

breakneck

what up Said. the only thing that bothers me about your site is that the hi res images are a little too big in file size. I think you can knock those 5mb image sizes down to 1 - 1.5 mb without loosing any quality.
-art is pimp!
- good job on making some really nice stuff.

I really Dig the Fountain , very awesome piece. I just wish you had a full fledged environment that looked that good. I know it would take time, but damn, it would be awesome.

Diwan

Appreciate you guys taking a look at the website
Yo Lawrence! Word! I'll def size it down then, thanks man!

Timothy, I have to say one thing that I've learned from doing that fountain is that destroyed scenes are PAIN. Not until I find an efficient way of building a demolished/destroyed scene will I try to attempt it again. I find it hard to re use pieces without making a scene of that sort to look good enough. Anyhow, thanks for looking.

If you are seeking a game art career studios may find larger wireframes more appealing to see your poly usage. Your artistic and technical ability are great. Like you siad balancing modular assets is tough but studios appreciate that too. Good Luck.

Fountain is your strongest piece, you need more mini scenes like that and you're good to go.
