I have been collecting portfolios for the past few years and thought other people might find the list useful. It's a mix of people I know, work I really like, and newer artists with work that caught my eye. I do a quick run through where I open them all about once a week. I find it really useful to keep track of what everyone is doing.
Does anyone have any favorite portfolios they want to share?
Did you post Pierre's portfolio up on there? I didn't see it..
I didn't have that before but I just added to my list. I don't think I'm going to update the first post with new portfolios. If someone posts something I really don't like I don't want to offend them by publicly ignoring it.
That is quite a list! My folio is needing an overhaul/update so that I can start applying for jobs and this'll really help man.
Thankyou
I would recommend getting a similar list into your bookmarks and opening them all at once. Then try and sort through them somewhat quickly. Doing this is going to make you impatient with the bad layouts and you will start to see what works best.
Thanks for posting mine That's a great list, every new comer in our industry or hopeful should check them out and contact the owners for feedback on their own work !
seriously though is there a quick way to just select all the links and copy paste 'em (chrome or explorer)? my list is longer than the op and everything other than one at a time results in nothing happening.
I did a firefox open all in tabs and then copy pasted from the URL bar. Firefox will let you save bookmarks into a simple html file but it includes all kinds of other tags and stuff in there.

Tried that and chrome crashed the Polycount tab about half-way through
Mindrot! Awesome haven't seen his stuff in ages, thanks for the link. Found his work always very inspiring, definitely someone i'd like to work with once.

Nice topic, ill definitly add some folios to my list. Mine is pretty recent, but i'm using this website to manage them, it's really cool to save any website i want, and watch the preview of each one.
Awesome. I have some of these already. Great to find more! Had the pleasure of having this guy as my teacher back in college: http://jerrykowalczyk.com/page3.html
Awesome Finally I can have them all in one place :thumbup: Thanks guys!
Speaking of adding them to the wiki, it would be awesome if they could be orginized according to job types (character artists, environment artists, prop artists, concept artists, etc.) this would make it a lot easier for potential employers to browse through them.
Whoa, too much awesome! I started bookmarking all these websites... but then I just decided to bookmark this thread. A lot of familiar websites here, but even more that I haven't seen before. Great thread for inspiration!
1) There are even more badass inspirational artists on the internet than I thought (thank you neurotic savers-of-links for taking the time to list them!)

You could get an add-on for Firefox like this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-links/
Tried that and chrome crashed the Polycount tab about half-way through
that sounds perfect if I had firefox installed... I am now adding a new browser just for this post

Kimberleypope.com, a concept artist that worked on Game of Thrones and some other cool stuff.
http://jeffsolway2d3d.blogspot.com/ I worked with Jeff at Rabbit Hole until nov 15, he's a pretty awesome 2D guy with some tasty sculpts as well.

(...But, uh, secretly I only posted because deep down inside I want to be included, sniff.)
Haha, sorry to sound like a dick. I was just throwing ideas around
1) There are even more badass inspirational artists on the internet than I thought (thank you neurotic savers-of-links for taking the time to list them!)
Ferg has ego issues
So true, bro:) You're not alone;-)
A lot of quality stuff there. Thank you Alec for starting this all that contributed.
well you've definitley got issue's...
but you're in my list
That thing is awesome. Dont get how it correlates to the different branches but I love the hover over preview thing. Aceses!
