Ok, I have some feedback for your site. Not your art your site. I think everyone hates flash sites don't know really why but most people don't like them. But if you can AX the flash. What type of artist are you? I see you do 3d but are you a generalist, a character, or environment artist? Put that on your site. Why do you…
This will be my first post on polycount. I am a 3D artist with a couple of years of working experience in TVCs. Now I've migrated to Australia, got a PR and studying Advanced Diploma in Games Development. And the first game character I wish to build is a warrior. A Nordic Warrior.
