[Portfolio] Matthew Hall - Character Artist

TortillaChips

Hey guys, as I'm just handing in the last piece of written work I feel it's time to put my work together into a portfolio, some people might've seen it as I've been updating each project a little and creating better presentation sheets, I've still got the Gemini Demons to go. All the work has been over the course of this final year, and I hope that know I'm graduating that I'll be able to improve a lot more.

This thread will be where I put most of my 'finished' pieces of work, and for critique for when I start to get a real portfolio site, but at the moment you can find it here: --

Here's some work, I won't spam all of it, but you can find it all on the site:

Most works have used the Xoliul Shader. I'm looking for feedback for everything on the site, and any advice you guys could offer me so that one day I could become good enough to start looking for jobs.

Thanks guys

I think a strong realistic male and female character would be good to add.

I like your characters, but, they need more detail. At the moment they feel very plastic and not really believably alive yet. It's a good start.

To me it feels like the specular is all over the place with your characters and they kinda seem to miss proper AO-passes or like some kind of shadows under all that hair. Right now they feel very plastic and not very believable as characters but either way like LMP said, it's a good start.

Hey cheers for the quick feedback Yeah I definitely should focus on a pair of realistic characters.

Yeah you're right Chris, the specular for the UT3 character was done that way because of the way other UT3 characters were done, but for the most part I'm just going "is it conductive? Ok same colour, dielectric? Ok make it opposite"

K so decided to change my portfolio site to carbonmade, and am currently waiting for my domain to.. show up to forward it to.

First armour set for an indie group Renegade. Next one will be the light version with skin and cloth to sculpt, looking forward to it.



And had a change around of my folio site, only lets you have 5 projects unless you want to pay $12/month... I think I'll stick to free. http://matt-hall.com

Good job on the armor, I dig the design. Renegade looks like a cool project too.
