Took me 3 clicks to get to your works...should be 2 or less i would think...

main page needs to have some of your works as teaser for sure..

less pages more example of your work...

RE:Website

Thanks for the feedback! I realize my site needs to be re-done but it's been on the end of things to do list cause I would rather devote time to modeling. Any comments about my actual models Iron Taxi? Thanks again maybe I will put aside a day or two to redo the site if that is something that should be in top of priority lists.

Hey dude. The content itself is pretty good, from what I can see. Especially the character models and your traditional work (sculpture and drawings - although remove the drawings with the photoshop filters or remove the filters).

You're letting it down with some shoddy presentation, though.

Try redoing your site so that your thumbnails link to a page with all of the relevant images on them at once. At the moment, there's loads of thumbnails and disparate images of the same models, sometimes shown with other models, sometimes without, etc... it's a little confusing/tedious to have to click each one to get another image with similar contents. The pics that the thumbnails link to could do with being a bit bigger.

Also, I'd ditch the web and graphic design sections of your site. They're not relevant and (if I'm honest) not really a strong point of your skills.

There's some really good tips on how to structure a portfolio site by Jon Jones that get's thrown around a lot, it's well worth a read; Jon Jones, smArtist » Your portfolio repels jobs

Thnxz Talon, great points. I think maybe I should restructure my website first then start to focus more on certain aspects of modeling. Thnxz for the links and pointer I appreciate everyone who gives me some solid input that can help me get a foot in the door.
