[Portfolio] - Pontus Ryman
pontus.viewbook.com
So my portfolio has been in my signature for a while but i have been afraid of posting it for real as a thread, mostly because im very insecure if its good enough, but i realised that to make it better, i need a proper input from the all the talanted people here at polycount.
I know the image system on the page is not the best, but im very bad at homepages and stuff so atm im trying to keep it simple for me, eventually i will make the out of oil video available for direct stream on the site aswell.
please be gentle, but fair!

Oh, and you may want to fix your link here. :poly108:
I aggree with what Zack said but I have to really hammer in the point here. The presentation is killing you right now. Like, majorly killing you.
It's a pain in the ass that when i click a thumbnail and all i get is a slightly bigger image when there's so much free space all around your page for bigger sizes. It's even more of a pain that i have to go into fullscreen mode to get it big
Those loading images and then having to dig around to find full screen size etc. That's just horrible. I'm sorry to be so blunt, but I think you really NEED to know this.
I wouldn't be surprised if potential employers done even look at your work when they see the way the site is formatted. The thumbnails are too small to tell how good these models really are, and to go full screen is a pain in the arse. Then you have to deal with the loading.
Do yourself a favor and just follow this format: http://www.adambromell.com/
Again, don't mean to be a dick but I think its a shame to not showcase nice work like you have properly. Web development isn't important, your art is, so let it do the talking for you! Good Luck Man!
Helmet WIP is definetly your strongest piece just the wear and tear is very uniform an a little bit over the top but mostly too uniform IMO.
I updated my portfolio, and made the site somewhat better to navigate, but there isnt many options in viewbook to make it any smoother, i will eventually change my site into a better one but im no good at websites.
Please comment on my latest work, thank you!
Issues though...your image previewer sucks and takes too long. I'm no good with websites either which is why I begged for help and a stranger (Surfa) coded it for me. So maybe do the same?
Im definately going to get a better site, im just wondering where to start.
Right now im looking for jobs so it would be a bad idea to switch out my link, considering the applications i sent out with this link attatched.
So ill have to live with the bad navigation a little while longer.
Fixed the main link aswell, realised the first post was linked wrong
