Your stuff looks good, but much of it is too WIP for a portfolio in my opinion.
Also, I would always show my best work first to get peoples attention,
the texture you did for Bobo's demon looks great, I really like how that turned out the best.
Probably my least favorite is the Legion Demon, because the anatomy doesn't really make sense with all those blobby bits. Since you lost the model anyways, I would just ditch it.
Can't wait to see you work more on these though, keep it up!
Keep your eyes peeled, i'll be updating some things pretty soon.
lol jk, messing with ya
nice stuff ^_^
EDIT:
Imp texture wip, think its coming nicely so far. Work is slow though, i really miss my pen T_T
And you can still make perfect textures without wacom pen , that isnt an excuse not to texture your models , and also generate ambient oclusion for your models too , right now they are VERY flat.
keep working and dont give up and texture that stuff
Testing out the tablet, which is a genius mousepen, not wacom, with a 8*6 working area and 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity, twice the size and 4 times the levels of my last tablet for pretty much the same price as my old tab. So, i did this draing in aobut ten minutes in gimp to test it out, just something quick and simple, no direction before hand, just a random drawing:
Damn guys i might have lost a bit of my work, my slave drive seems to have corrupted itself. I'll find out later for sure, but i had to disconnect it to get my computer to turn on.
-Compile all of your little armor bits onto 1 image.
-for sure cut the knight/demon concepts, the forest demon concept, the UI mockup, and the alien sketch at the begining.
-then cut a couple more to fit onto a single view page.
-Also make sure there is contact info and a link to a resume, even if you are sending that in separate.
all i can say is its about time! lol
You should clean that unwrap on that knight dude. show some professionalism-ism. Make the magic wand in PS your friend
Wordpress ftw! im on a broadband with dialup speed so i had to wait quite abit :P
P.S
YAY, another fellow self-taught artist!
I think the pieces that relate to each other should also have thumbnails grouped together.
If I was coming to your folio cold, I would start to think that your good stuff was swiped from someone else. There's that big a difference in your folio work that it makes you wonder.
I hope this helps. Your new work is great and if all your pieces were like this, you'd have a fantastic texture art portfolio.
Okay so i fixed that problem now i'm having a css problem that seems to be only in firefox browsers, so for now open it up in internet explorer until i can get it fixed
*EDIT*
Just a thought...not sure if you really need to say '15 years experience in concept art', '13 years experience in modeling/texturing', '5 years project design and coordination' because your folio doesn't really reflect those years of experience.
Okay fixed up all the html and css problems!
Also, I noticed you do a lot of very thing white lines to shade stuff, and it doesn't always work. It could be a base for something great, but I think the lines suggest laziness, as a bit of extra work could make the work pop more.
Also, finish that red demon, or don't include it.
The first work in your 2d section is better than the terrible (sorry) image of a girl you had there before, and it's good that you've grouped the sprites, but there's still stuff in there that could seriously dampen my enthousiasm about your 3d work. If one part of your website drags another down, take it out!
And get your linework scanned at a library, a friends place or a printshop, and clean it up in photoshop afterwards. Make it look presentable!
Okay so i just updated the section in my 2d gallery with more sprite work i've done, including a small section of a minimal resolution side scroller rpg environment i was working on a while ago, and replaced that flat colored 2d knight guy with a couple finished pixels of him, better detail and actual shading. As well as actually adding a new image to the 2d section show casing some of the textures i've created over the years, still need to gather more to add though.
