Uni sub. folio (56k warning)

Forum

Ok so its allmost time i submit a folio to apply for a uni course (which is by the way why i havent done jack around here in a while, ive been busy in my final year of school but its paying off) so ive been putting mine together. Ive got one more image to go at this stage but the rest is below. Some of the images i had allready uploaded to the web so they are not in their formatted for A4 version and some i hadnt so i uploaded their final A4 composition. The whole things a bit of a mess i know but hopefull you can still scan over them and tell me what you think. It's important to note that uni selectors are not looking for a display of technical skill but rather creative potential (i heard this from the actual selectors themselves). So if anyones thinks that some of them should go, really likes some, i should remove the text somewhere or anything itd be much appreciated

OK so the linking pictures bit pretty much just didnt work, its not so easy to browse through this way but instead ive set out all the links to my work, so if you could take the time to click through them (and for those not DA familiar, you can click on the picture on the page you will be sent to to see the larg version) it'd be much appreciated.

EVERYONE: pictures changed to links, so you can have a look at the ones you couldnt see before. huzzah!

denz: thanks man :) grrr at protective DA
mcdrewski: thanks for the update, seems like everyone cant see different ones so yeah changed. Thanks also for well wishes
tojo: yeah the selectors warned me against those cliches but id been hearing those kinda sentiments for a while now. Interesting was not only did the warn against space marines, orcs and swords but also manga. Personally i dont really "get" manga as such but they hold a huuuuuge grudge against it, interesting. thanks for the kind words :)
codyalday: thanks for the kind words man, itll be your turn soon :P

thanks again to all, keep those thoughts coming!
oh also my gallery is here: http://the-moon-unit.deviantart.com/gallery/ and if there's anything you think i should really put in for that last piece then id love to hear from you

Ok so I'm in the process of selecting my final image, what do people think of these ones? What do you like/dislike about them and which do you like best?

http://www.deviantart.com/view/23304162/
http://www.deviantart.com/view/14656305/
http://www.deviantart.com/view/23307457/ (its worth noting that this iamge was made to imitate a famous photographer Bill Henson, so keep that in mind)

Again its all about creativity and ideas, not technical skill. These are both a bit old now but im trying to find something for the last image in the folio without having to make something new. Which i just dont have time to do

EDIT: heh never mind, got a better image then all of the above:

http://www.deviantart.com/view/23312036/

so add that to the original list and youve got my submission folio. Yay! [}:)]

id still be happy to hear from people on what they think of it or if there's anything they can see that i should change because im not submitting it for a few days.

I'm QA, not an artist, so :)

Tomatoe is spelled without the 'e' : "Tomato".
Constructed has an 'r'.

Edit : ...unless the 'toe' thing is a pun intended. [:D]

Didnt get time too look through all of them sorry, but it looks like you have a good shot at getting in. Goodluck to you :)

mcdrewski: [:D] it wasn't supposed to be, its funny that was actually a school project and no one picked up on that typo.. well im going to leave the tomatoe just for kicks now :P but thanks for pointing out the typos.

makk: thanks man :)

I really liked "William Tells All" and "Blood Juice" Nice work.

Submitted by MoonUnit on Tue, 27/09/05 - 9:04 PMPermalink

thanks kizza, i dropped william tells all because its an imitation attempt so i figured it wasnt really showing off my personal creative skill. But blood juice is definetly in :P
