Hi guys, my name is Mike and I just recently graduated from college here in Poland. Now I am trying to get into the industry, so I would like to ask for crits regarding my portfolio :). Mainly I would like to hear what you think about the content quality.

Hey - nice and simple page.

Two very simple things:

1)I would add eyebrows to the army guy. Right now hi's face could use SOME facial hair to make him more human like since his features are a bit exagerated.

2)I would probably remove the 3rd panel in your "sculpts" page. It is hurting your other work imo.

Also, I really like your three lowest characters.

Hope that helps.

In general it's pretty good, if a bit bland. Your textures look like they could use some more love in the form of extra layers. The soldiers pants lack texture, his boots feel brand new and unused, etc.

This feeling is very much amplified by the extremely simple blog skin. Get some color in there!

Wow! Your stuff is really cool XD I especially like your ability to sculpt figures - the marine and alien are really impressive. Maybe for your props (gun models and such) you could work on adding some wear on the highly used points, and some grime in the low points. Also I noticed that on your Franchi SPAS-12 uvw template, there was quite a bit of empty space. After you've normalized all your uv's, go back and try to squeeze in a little more pixel resolution wherever you can, even if it means giving some pieces just a bit more resolution than others - I think that's ok. Super cool stuff otherwise, I can't wait to start doing work this great! XD

This is pretty good but I agree with snader. Your stuff cant be good it has to be amazing in this industry. Not onely do you have to impress a potential employer but you have to beat 100 other possible entrys that have applied for that position hands down.

double your focus, learn where you are where you need to be and what you need to do to get there. Your onely as good as the gap between you and the best.
