Personal portfolio development 1

Personal portfolio development 1

I have created a website to promote my work. I looked at various websites of 3d artists and found that websites can be cluttered and confusing. Some of these had great work but were poorly composed.

One of the simpler formats of websites I found was this http://www.kip3d.net/ 

I really like the format, but find the monochrome theme a little boring. The body of work is excellent, with each tile revealing the colourful image underneath.

Another example of what I would want to achieve would be this http://annunziation.com/portfolio/

 This is simpler still, but the work is really showcased. presented in page wide tiles displaying teasers of the work. He really clearly displays his abilities, with separate sections dedicated to props and modular environmental assets.

Ultimately, I will design my website to show case my show reel. Initially it will be generalised, as most of my work is from various university tasks and as such is a mix of props, environments and characters for submissions.

When my show reel is complete, I will update my sight to focus on the specializations I will focus on.

My alpha web site is here http://edharveydigital.weebly.com/

Not much to show for the last few months, but the advanced drawing and visualisation module of my university course did allow me to dabble with photoshop and zbrush with some productivity. First was the sword-axe concept, for which i had to combine 2 different weapons.
This is the concept i took through to zbrush, i didn't have long to work on it but i was quite happy with the end results.





The theme of hybrids continued with the combination of man/machine. It was Deus Ex Adam Jensen inspired for sure, but it was actually supposed to be a futuristic version of a fantasy character from the dungeon crawler game i'm working on.
