are you trying to get a job as a level designer or an environment artist? a level designer would probably get away with it, an environment artist would be burned at the stake.
havent updated this in years! =0 well heres a little character design I did for the character design challenge on facebook. Hes a hipster vampire haha.
I'm looking to become a level designer, or do you mean that level design and environment artists are one in the same? (I thought that depends on the size of the studio)
the textures are done in Substance Designer, and plugged into the default Marmoset material slots. (PBR roughness/metallic + height and tessellation) the bottom graph is from Substance Designer
