Hi , here's my portfolio , it's a simple FiG script. i'll code a website later , for now it's just an image storage to show you my most recent work.

Thanks for looking ;D

You should really give credit to the people who made the models on your site.

If you look in the image info, he does.

FaN: I think that you'd be much better off with just a plain HTML site with some images thrown up there. The flash gallery is overly complex and hard to use, takes longer to load, obscures the images that are bigger than it's... heh, don't mean to be harsh but everything about the flash gallery defies most of the major conventions of a portfolio site.

I think you should add more stuff tho, like a page about you.

your name
Hobbies

Well , at first , i wanted to do the same thing than Wesley Tack (http://wesleytack.com) :


But its exactly the same , didn't want to steal his concept , but sure , i'll redo something, thanks.

PS kitteh , Give me a break , ive just started doing this , and the "Comment" function on this isn't really well done. I'll add credits on my future websites , don't worry Sherlock.

PS Andy , yeh , thanks , ive already though about that , i'll surely end up with something similar to the website i did a while ago http://fan34.free.fr/website but with sections like "About Me" Contact etcf

Yeah, good luck, it should turn up nicely

I agree with whats been said about the flash. Flash is great when it works but im sad to say that yours doesnt.

Too complicated and not intuitive enough and it made me close the site after only a few minutes in pure frustration, so your site fails to function as a good presentation of your work. My suggestion would be to create a very basic and simple webpage with a minimalistic design without alot of bells and whistles that creates a nice frame around your work and letting the work be the main focus object and not the design of the page itself.

Wesleys portfolio, that you've allready mentioned, is a good example of a portfolio for game art that works and is pleasent to navigate.

If you really want to go in a flash direction, maybe something like this could be inspirational?

Remember, dont take this the wrong way. None of this is directed at your actual game work but only at the presentation of said work.
Good luck!

your models and textures for the most part are nice, anything other than guns?

[FaN]

Oh , i don't do models , just couldn't credit their authors properly. That i'll do in my future site. And i don't do anything else than weapons , though i'll try myself at map Props and Environnemnt objects in the near future i hope , i've been doing weapons because i started texturing in the CS Modding community (where the most used replacements are weapons)
