very nice stuff, a bit more variety would be nice but thats more like extra candy.
Spug: Actually i just sent my mail to Splashdamage so nothing yet, but my classmate got a response in like 2 days, hope i will get one too. yeah i was thinking about changing that, but you know i will fill them so fast anyway :P haha or not. Well wish i could just stop time and do portfolio work for a month or so, most of this is older stuff.
Kio: yeah some of my friends in class also mentioned that, fixed it right now, i also made the gif's unclickable
Bigger icons!
Did I mention make more?
Go!
Great work thus far, though.
Pixelmasher: thanks to you too :P well first i have to find an internship which seems hard enough hehe, well atleast i'm open to leave Sweden.
Stoofoo: yeah it's on my wish list too
ok so i took away the blank thumbs and enlarged the others, now my thumb pics are to small in resolution instead T_T "always save the originals" need to take new screen caps tomorrow.
Now that I think of it, how come you don't have a opened version of it with textures on it that can be seen bigger?
The watercooler is very nice, but I would overlay a slight grunge normal detail map over the baked map, to help those details pop.
That hovership looks like it's going to be teh win when it's finished, seems very Unreal Tournament inspired; same thing with the hoverturret. Great stuff.
Whats_true: Yeah my classmates said the same thing, i think i will wait with changing it until I'm ready with some other stuff though, but i will surly do something about it.
Eraserhead: I get what your saying, i kinda just did what i thought looked cool, my spec map is a bit on the hard side, I'll think about fixing that but I'm not sure if i want to go back to it, would rather just do something new, taking pics and things like that is such a waste of work time hehe :P
as for the watercooler, i actually did just that, but with the 512 texture it just looked weird and overdone, maybe I'll try again depending on how big the problem is thank u for telling me
The render of the watercooler is a bit too 'soft' though. Did you render it? If so, try just taking a screenshot of it ingame (with a bit of aa, but nothing over the top), and apply an unsharpen mask-filter on it afterwards.
well actually all of my pics of every object is from the maya viewport, no good at renders. Maybe I'll try and take it into UT3 if i have time
peppi: thanks peppi, well as it is now in the industry atleast as it is here in sweden I'll be really happy to get a unpaid intern position. i just want to get in somewhere and learn more and get the experience.
Like Peppi said, get some more assets done and THEN apply. You are easily at a junior artist level from what I've seen. Keep up that quality and it will pay off.
As for the other pieces, the presentation on the water cooler is exellent and well done.
Keep up the hard work and you'll find a spot in the industry.
Cheers -
Tyler
If i made it now i would know better, but i made it quite a while ago.. Even though it's lacking in the techs i don't think I'll scrap it "I'll be honest and say i really wanted to make it all over from the lowpoly but i really just didn't have the time. And as i have a shortage in things to show i hope people can see the good parts in it though it has quite many flaws, *I'll try and cut it down some though Thanks for the crits
EQ: Thanks alot, I'm glad to hear that from u EQ.
Great work be proud! Im really happy there are so many kick ass artists comming out from PSQ this year! and guys just send out internship submissions and have fun choosing where to go!
GL guys!
yea and it looks blured , so fix that too
u have some good work there, love that torrent thingie!
keep it up!
Lonewolf: actually it has been enlarged after that, it's just they got blurred during the process :P havent found the time to take new pics yet, promise to fix it soon
Get a job already
And thanks for the promotion Pontus ;D
Good portfolio, I like it.
Edit: My only suggestion would be about the website. Why not display the gallery page immediately on visit? You could include the "english/japanese" buttons on the pages themselves rather than having a splash page.
Editx2: Maybe work on your resume page, it looks a bit rushed. I think you could have a nicer presentation with it. My .02 cents.
Marcan: Well i haven't tried sending anything away saying i want a job, but as i said before no one is rushing for me when searching for unpaid internship, so i don't see the use in trying before i have even succeeded in getting close to getting an internship :P
mm as for the splash page, i was really wondering when this was gonna come :P got really worried there. I know it's good to throw the art right at ya but for once i think people have to click once. I'm sending to alot of japanese companies too and i just don't want to confuse, i just want it to be as simple as possible.
Would love to hear what u think i could do on my resume
Thanks for all the crits marcan
Well anyway i have uploaded the hovership, atleast temporarily. Have some other studies to finish now but I'll make a Gif later
*I'll never go back and rework old work ever again, please kill me if i do =_=
I just thought a Japanese logo on your gallery in the top right corner would do the trick, it's pretty recognisable! But it's still better than some portfolios I've seen, where it takes 3-5 clicks to get to the gallery...
As far as the CV go, I'm no expert on the matter, but:
-Include your goal. (I would like to work at at full-time position as a character artist to produce great art etc etc.)
-Include your skills, whether it is good eye for composition, works fast, etc.
-Include your resume as a separate word or RTF format file available for download, right off your website. Do not assume HR will copy and paste your current resume to a notepad file, and save it.
-Really take some time to check every single portfolio on this board, CGTalk, websites that talk about how to do a resume, it will really help you.
By the way, you should include at least a personal email adress that you've used for a while, and plan on using for a long time to come. You watermarked your image, that's good, but if your website by any chance is offline at the time someone wants to contact you, or goes offline in a year from now, that picture the person downloaded from your portfolio a week ago won't remember where he got it.
I see i thought things like that should rather go into the coverletter? Well i have a separate CV and Coverletter that i send to companies, Didn't think companies wanted to dowload a CV before i have sent them anything anyway.
yeah it would be a good idea to add my mail to the pics too or my name, though i think i'll stick with this address. I'll fix it when i have time for it
Thanks for all the ideas Marcan, I'll put some time into it as soon as i have some time
Still havent found an internship, well found 3 in japan that where interested but i have some Visa issues, Need to go to a "serious" school to do that, lucky for me i signed up for a course at the nearby university, i wonder why. :P
well i just wanna know if you guys think this flintlock pistol is good enough to put in my portfolio, gonna fix the handle and some other stuff though, before putting it up, made it for an art test though maybe that's a bad thing?
1500tris 1024maps
The other thing is the handle itself, the texture for the grip is kinda boring... maybe you can spruce it up a bit
I just think overall put some more love into this texture, the model itself is really cool, but the texture is letting it down a bit.
Good luck man, your work is great, big inspiration.
Kinda liked the texture but well first time i've been workign with tree and gold so well guess i'm supposed to suck at it :P, thought it was kinda fun u mentioned my normalmap :P as it's the first normal map i've actually been quite happy with hehe but Thanks for the crits man
Kio: Thanks for not putting me last in your list :P haha. I don't know how much internships there are for those who are not the worst, but haven't found anything myself.
Have searched mostly in england, as it's impossible to get into one of the normal sized or bigger companies here in Sweden, either they don't take any or they want people good enough to jump into a lead position at any company other then their own.
Got one or two art test to do, so I'll see how that goes.
