Just noticed that it won't display correctly in chrome though fine in ie so I will have to investigate. if anything else comes up with different browsers let me know, especially if you have a workaround as im not so good with this stuff.
thanks

Awesome man. So great to see.
here is what i noticed... using Firefox (3.6.13)
This image on the hospital section didn't load http://www.kevinjohnstone.com/Images...pital_Arch.JPG
Other then that one I think it all looks great. Nice to see some of your non game art up on the site as well

Using chrome, when ctrl- or ctrl+ it fixed the menu, otherwise the 'money' is b0rked. A symbolic happenstance?
There's a lot of stuff missing if u don't mind me saying!

thanks folks!
Jesse- Good catch, I missed that one, might be an issue with upper or lower case jpg, Bluehost appears to be fiddly with that and i refreshed a number of images with lower case enforcement on in Photoshop so this is likely.
Sean: For sure, that needs sorted, I just had to get this thing up rather than fiddle anymore.
Shotgun - Yeah I laughed at that one myself , digital Freudian slip perhaps?
I've been considering adding a link to my old Rors Journal site from the Love section, it would open into the old site , seperate from the new so folk that were interested could get that nostalgia high. It would probably have lots of broken areas and I wouldnt be willing to fix em though, think it would be worth it?

Interesting website... love your work

Great site but with Chrome I'm missing the money navigation link and the rest of the navigation is jacked up as well (as others have said). Only comment I would have would be that there may be too much artwork in some of the personal sections but that is up to you and what you want to keep. I definitely like the painting section of the personal work as well as the professional work from Gears and UT. Awesome!

Great work!!!
Like someone else said, it took me a while to find your high poly work, which I find to be much more impressive. If that work was easy to find or highlighted more, it could be....advantageous.
seriously amazing. makes me want to die.

Progg: Yeah I felt the Love section had some pretty mixed quality and could do with a cull, we're only as strong as our weakest piece and I've kept an awful lot of old pieces for sentimental reasons.
This is part of my reason for considering having an external link to my old rors journal site. The old work could go there

I like how you also do all of the 2d stuff next to 3d

I like the new layout, interesting statement to divide it up the way you did.
Yea maybe move some of the weaker pieces in love into an archive and link to it at the bottom? I have a feeling I know which ones you might cull and they are still good pieces just not as strong as some of the others, it would be a shame if they disappeared. I hope you keep the 2 Cerebus pieces up... if nothing more than the encourgement to go read an awesome series of phone-books heh.

Amazing stuff Kevin. Seeing some of those old pieces brought back some fond Polycount memories.

I think its hard to crit a portfolio that isn't intended to be used to get a job or freelance contracts. Clearly you are comfortably employed, but if you were going to try and look for more jobs I would cut out as much of the interface/hierarchy structure as possible and only show the 3d environment stuff and your better paintings.
Ideally the first page would load up with just a bunch of art on it and you wouldn't need to do much (or any) clicking to get around.

Cool to see some of the old stuff in there too. Any chance of the Quakelord skins making an appearance?

i noticed that in firefox, when opening in a new tab (in the money page i middle clicked all 5 links to open separately), thus resulting in the top index banner being removed.
other than that, amazing stuff. most of it ive seen here on pc or on zbrushcentral, but its always nice to go back and take another look.

It took me a while to realize this isn't a portfolio site, it's just a straight-up artist's site. Brings back memories of high school, when me and my friends all had personal art sites, not targeted at HR people... I forgot you could do that :P
I'd say 'good luck' with the site, but since it doesn't seem the aim is finding another job, I'll just say 'good job'  .
