[Portfolio] Franklin Lei

nilknarf815

After a lot of self doubt, I've finally decided to "try" and put together a portfolio. What I really lack is a formal education in art, coming from a microbiology bg. Some suggestions I have gotten is that my pieces are too scattered, nothing to tie them together. Any other comments/critiques/advice would be most helpful and appreciated. Now rip me to shreds!



WIP, always working on updating...

I have to say that I think your work looks pretty decent.

Only problem is that I'd like to see more of it, really. Maybe even a collection of works done in the same style, to show you can work consisitently to one style.

Nice work, though

Cyrael

agreed with above comment.

I was pleasantly surprised when I looked at your site, your self doubt is not warranted, keep the work coming and do sets of pieces like suggested and I think you'll do great.

Jeremy Lindstrom

ok, with a screen res at 1680x1050 i only saw one image and didn't see anything else, clicked on that and it showed me that image, it took me twenty seconds to realize i had to scroll to see the rest of the images...

kinda odd

glynnsmith

You're blaming the OP's portfolio for you not knowing what scrollbar looks like? :P

Will Faucher

I had no issues figuring out where the rest of the work was. Didn't even have to think about it. Although I agree, perhaps make the first image a TAD smaller, just so that you see the top part of the image below, to give a heads up that you need to scroll down to see the rest of the work.

Jeremy Lindstrom: I see what you mean, thank you for the advice, shrunk the "header" a bit more and added a text that prompts for scrolling down. Thanks for the just-incase-scenerio. What size might you suggest? I'm running on 1920x1080, so yea...
glynnsmith: he just looking out for me :P.
Prophecies: Once again good advice, props for looking out!

Shrinking....

Serp

It took me about 3 hours to scroll down because my mouse is broken. Very annoyed, I won't be coming back.

Snader

It looks unorganized. All different sizes, widths, just leftaligned. Dirty Dan, Bass, Rob(is that a pun on rob zombie?) look nice, because they're in the same style, and the same width, feels more consistent. If you would resize images to all be the same width (use 2 side by side for portrait oriented images) it'd look a lot better, IMO.

I also only noticed the different categories the 3rd time I visited the site.

Make the email a link, and possibly add more information about yourself.

Serp: OH NOOOES, I am very sorry your mouse was broken. Aren't you glad you stayed 3 hours hahahah. You too funny.
Snader: Thanks for the advice, what I really want to be able to do is follow this one page format that Hethe did for his portfolio. Apparently left align did not left align to my benefit on my screen.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys really helpful stuff.
