[Portfolio] – Steve Strickland - TX

Hey all! I wont beat around the bush, I'm trying to get a job as an environment/prop artist and need another set of eyes to tell me what I lack in my portfolio.

Textures suck? Not diverse enough? Too much bloom? Should have went to school for something else? Let me know.

Great looking portfolio, especially someone trying to get in.

At a glance, one thing that stands out is the straw roof of the Weapon Smith. The polygons are very obvious and jaggy. This is a combination of their placement and poor scene lighting. Real hard transition between it and the walls that a nice shadow casting would cure right up.

a great thing to have would be a small bar underneath with your name and contact info. remember this was mentioned by cholden in r_fletch_r thread in technical talk and was on the portfolio game mentor podcast.

Thanks for taking a look!

Good call on the Weapon Smith. After getting some other feedback (and listening to that particular podcast), I pruned it and some other stuff. The Warhammer tower was a better piece, and it shows the same skill set.

I also threw my contact on the bottom of the main pieces. I'll continue to update the others.

If anybody has any more suggestions, I'd love to hear em.
