My Porftfolio

[The Cube]

Hi Everyone,

I have created a website, check it out and let me know what you think. I'm still working on embedding my reel (instead of a you tube link). All feedback is appreciated.

The address is www.Rubick.co.uk

Cheers

Don't use capital "I". Rename "Index.htm" to "index.htm". That web server is case sensitive.

Yah, what budweizzer said.

Also, your artwork reminds me very much of Quentin Blake! Very good indeed.

Your portfolio confuses me:
What exactly is it that you want to do?

I read environment artist you've entitled yourself. When I go check out the models, the resolution and detail indicate game artist, but the texture sizes are so awkward that that can't be taken seriously.

I see some environment drawings which are decent, but mostly "other" and character drawings.
There seems to be only one "real" environment piece in there, which looks like a cube with a chair in it. The props are decent, but what's up with the PS filtered normal maps, spend the 15 minutes and bake one. Another 5 minutes to clean up your maps, so the uv-grid and layout doesn't show, and it isn't so evident you like to airbrush all the time.

I'd say, figure out what you want to do, and where you are also good at. Lose the rest, put it in your blog or whatever, but not in there. Also some work on the quality is need to make a serious impression.

Also, you have a link to a reel, but no reel. If you're applying for a job with this site then get a reel up asap. It's never nice to click on a link only to find it's not there yet.

Okay cheers for the advice everyone. I have made some changes to the site based on feedback I received.

A) Reel button now links to reel on Youtube ( temporary )< Any advice on how to embedd a higher quality reel using dreamweaver 4 would be most helpful. >

B) I have cleaned up the Textures, and reduced their size on the pages to make for an easier veiwing experience.

I am thinking to remove the concept sketches image ( post it note montage ). A change of title is also in order, even if I change it to Environment/Prop Artist , I think this would make more sense.

I will update some more of the content, so it is more relevant to a games position (such as removing the high poly character model, and replacing this with a low poly one)

Anyway, cheers for your advise.

Anymore suggestions or feedback would be much appreciated regarding any aspect of the site, including the reel, the portfolio and the site itself.

For those of you that I were kind enough to point out that the site loads up as a list , which means users have to navigate to the index page manually, I am aware of this it seems to happen everytime I update the content, usually sorts itself out after a few days.

Keep the comments flowing in, and I shall make you all a nice cup of tea..


Cheers : )

Use www.Reeldump.com - its higher res and will provide you with an url you can use to embed it in your site

Okay thanks. Is there a forum which is specific to reel dump? I am having trouble getting the confirmation email sent in order to setup an account.

Cheers
