Portfolio Review

jamescloudy · Jun 2014

Hey guys

I've just finished uni and about to start looking for jobs so I've spent the last 2 days making this portfolio site - It is pretty bare at the minute but I will be editing and updating as much as possible throughout the next few days.

The URl is; www.jamesgamesart.com

Any crits are more than welcome

Cheers all
James.

biggest critique?

the homepage should be the artwork page.

I also wouldn't lead with a wip highpoly if this is for a game job. Infact I would not have it up at all, or maybe on a blog thing.
And as almighty_gir said make the first page the 3d art page.
Just my advice anyways ^^

Awesome cheers guys great advice.
I totally agree Kharn though having just finished uni I'm only now starting to build up a proper portfolio so at this stage I'm really just trying to showcase snippets of what I can do (as that's annoyingly all i can show right now), the goal is to work as much as possible to get rid of all wips asap. Cheers again

Can't right click + save as? That's a problem IMO

hmm very good point - going to have to work out how to edit that. Cheers

I'm not really a huge fan of the slow fade you get when you click on another page. Show the art as quickly as possible.

You have a wide variety of work. Seems like scifi/hard surface is your focus though. I would dump the rest of the stuff that isn't.

The website itself is ok. I think multiple clicks to view work stinks. You should have your work first and foremost.

Thanks Tobbo and Jeff, Im not totally used to the HTML5 editor yet but will be taking the slow fading stuff out as soon as I work out how (ontop of it being slow i find it ever so slightly "cringey') - In regards to the multiple click thing il try to make sure you have to click as little as possible asap. Loving the feedback polycount!

The images take too long to load and you have a lot of unfinished work on it.

Make it simpler and finish things. The level is by far the strongest piece. The 2d is nice too, but I have no idea what kind of job you're trying to get.
