been screwing around with presentation and just general stuff. Posted a few newish things, but mostly just revamps of old stuff.
love your artwork. love the easy navigation. can you change the artwork in the top corner of every page though? it stands out too much as the colours in the little pics are brighter then your background. that means that your eye is naturally drawn up to that corner. maybe if you just desaturated the images. other than that. beautiful work.
and the cookie monster is very cool. reminded me of my boxer shorts.
I'd lose the splash screen, and the big text title. I don't think they add anything. To see a project, I need to load four pages... maybe make it two or three. I also want to see your wireframes and texture sheets. The other thing I'd do is talk in first person... it seems weird to have a big picture of yourself, personal info, and then talk in 3rd person.. but that is only my opinion.
Sorry if I seem overly critical, I had a huge night last night and am feeling pretty straight forward today ;) There is some fantastic work there (my fave is the elvenworld monsters character sheet... that purple insect thing is great) and there seems to be some nice code behind the site but I'd definitely keep tweaking it. Also it is up to you but I would remove some of your earlier hipoly work.
Anyways keep up the excellent work. I'm very envious of all you have done, and am looking forward seeing more :D
Solid work all round Mr Styles.
That WIP of yours is looking really nice, cant wait to see it finished (the neck area needs some adjusting, but you are probably aware of that)
The talking in 3rd person is a little funny and splash pages do kinda annoy some people.
I wouldnt remove the high poly stuff, its good and shows you know how to do it.
Keep it up :)
J.I. Styles enjoys talking in 3rd person to portray mass self egotism, a trait brought out well by badly worded biographies and copious amounts of smiley faces [:D]
Naw, didn't actually write the original bio myself - hate writing about myself and usually can't because I don't want to come across sounding like a 'tard. But if I got someone else to write about me and make me sound like a 'tard, then it's all good [:)]
few notes, splash screen is 'cause I couldn't be bothered finding out how to link the default directory page to a .php so left it as index.htm, backing pics need updating, most old now anyways, need to pull a lot of work and get it up since it's all getting dusty now. And yah. I will do a big chop on the about section :)
Honestly, I hope I get enough quality work one day to just dump images in a folder and call it done :)
Appreciate the crits, all the comments noted, I'll have another bang at it tonight :) Cheers everyone! I'll post again when I've got some more updated!
latest thing was my Army Chick - not finished, I'll be cleaning it up later on. http://www.garandnet.net/~malakai/content/concepts/pictures/army_chick2…
Cool pic man. I have to admit that i thought differently when I read chick....
I can sympathise about the Bio part. I have the same problem whenever I want a reference and a manager tells me to 'write it up yourself and i'll just sign it'. I always feel like i'm coming of as licking my own arse hole... and i'm just not that damn flexable :(
I love the cookie monster...
... Um, yeah. Cool site, but i really like the cookie monster. =D
cheers
