After years of Neglect. . . I updated my website!
polycounter lvl 17
Well, it has definitely been like, 4 or 5 years since I last touched my website, and it was in sore need of a redo.
What I've done is not the prettiest thing ever, but it's as functional as I can think to make it. Maybe I'll dress it up later.
Anyway, take a look, and let me know what you think:

Tumerboy, I like your environment work! As fas as the website goes, looks fine to me. your work is immediately seen on the front page as it should be, everything reads, nice job mate!
Looks nice Nick, everything's easy to find and looking sharp. I could argue the need for a couple commas in the second sentence on the page, but other than that...looks nice. Art's easy to find, loads up fine and fast for me.
No glaring problems I can see right off the bat but maybe others may notice a thing or two. I really like portfolios (or any websites) that use darker colors, good for me eyes. Looks good to me, man
its funcional, it gets the job done. i like it but some more color variation might spruce it up. like i said though, this works fine.
I like the site. good work on there too.
Looks nice in FF though.
So like...<table width=900px>, As opposed to simply 900?
If I'm so far off base as to make this a joke, my bad.
My table is set to 900px wide, so even someone running at 1024x768 should be able to see this. . .
I'll have to figure out what IE is trying to do with it. Bizarre. . .
Every other browser I looked at it in worked absolutely fine.
Apparently it has something to do with the style sheet, and specifically the style I have applied to my thumbnails. 3px border is somehow (in IE8 only) being expanded to hundreds of pixels. . .
Aside from that, cool site, its simple and it works (for a bunch of us at least!).
The issue was with items in my style sheet which listed a border width (i.e. images, tables, etc.) and then a color. I would list the width, and then the color (Just the hex number), i.e.:
"border=3px 333333"
Every other browser in the universe could figure out what the fuck I meant by this. IE was like, "Hmm, he must want a border that's 3333333 pixels wide, right?"
Adding # in front of all of my colors fixed it for i.e.
Thanks for looking guys, let me know if you see any other odities.
Just stating that it wasn't working for you in IE would have been sufficient.
Website is ok, not a fan of the colors, since that green / brown you used for the outlines are not the most awesome color ever. But the content is all there and it's shown instantly to the viewer and that's important.
Nice nice
It works in firefox and IE for me.
In IE 64bit when I'm browsing the images, the frame collapses and expands as the image loads and the outline around the buttons is blue and purple, kind of distracting. In IE 32bit or any other browser its fine.
I really like the foggy port scene, the library, the train yard and the grave yard, those are awesome. The furniture renders and the kitchen renders are pretty awesome, I would love to see more stuff presented that way.
I'm not a big fan of the "Unnamed project X Canceled". It would be better if the dino rider/Conan guy where not in the shots.
Ya, Raul, I'm with you on that. I wasn't sure if it was worth putting in or not. . . I guess I'm still not sure.
Mark, I'll change those arrows to be border=0 and it should filx the blue/purple outlines. Good catch.
And yes, I wish I had taken good shots without the characters while I was on that project, sadly it's pretty much done and buried at this point, so I have to work with what I have. . . The majority of my /screenshots folder for that game were all utilitarian shots to show someone else on the team an error or something. I think I still have the models & textures for some of those pieces though, and if I can get some time, maybe I'll render some of those out with wires and texture sheets.
I didn't even bother including anything from City of Heroes/Villains. I looked through those shots and just cringed. . . Anyone got opinions on this? I guess I felt it was better to just show what I currently feel looks ok? Or is it better to at least have SOME representation of all projects (even if they are 5 years old and hideous by today's standards)?
Oh, and no, I'm lazy, and like to actually PLAY games in my off time, so I don't have any personal work I'm willing to actually show off. . . I supposed I should try to do more on my own. . .
Also, I'd include the COH(V) stuff. They might look "bad" now, but for the standard back then, not so much. If nothing else, it will show your progress as an artist.
Maybe I need to make that more obvious?
Thanks again guys.
I think Orgath02 could have been a bit more tactful in communicating the broken site on IE8.
