Hey Ive got a portfolio website up and running and im planning on redoing it soon, I would love if you guys could give me some feed back on what I should keep or change? xD
I think the layout and flow of the site needs addressing. Seems like you're into character art so I can't be of much help in terms of your actual content. But maybe take a look at popular/employed character artists and see how they're laying out their portfolios.
I get a pop up add for hosting when I load the site might want to look into a different host as well. In general if you don't have the web design skills to make a good portfolio site its best to keep it simple.
Some of the best portfolios are single pages with pretty basic html.
If you want feedback you should probably post in 3D Art Critiques and Showcase.
I can give you some feedback here though. Like Wesley said, just have your portfolio open up to your work, and leave that other stuff on separate pages.
As your work, you really need to work on your model presentation. Look at some other successful character artist and learn from them. Here is Gavin, http://www.gavimage.com/. His model presentation is clean, effective, and overall nice to look at. Marie did this awesome TLoU fan art, http://www.mariempepin.com/thelastofus2/4579752410. She built a little pedestal for her, which makes the character feel really grounded, and put her in really nice poses.
Also what do you want to do in the industry? You can rig, animate, and you seem to like doing characters, what is your ultimate goal?
