Dave Blank's Portfolio Site

[DarkAlleyEthics]

Here's my newly finished portfolio site. I rushed it a bit to apply for a few jobs and the untextured stuff is there because one of those jobs was a modeling postion. With that said, I'll soon be re-doing the site with lightbox and some other neat additions, plus more 3D content from this last quarter. In the mean time please tell me what you all think. Thanks in advance.

Hmmm, its a tad busy, and I would love to see some rollovers.

Also, the way its presented, feels like your mailbox is your strongest piece? Is that what you want to represent you as an artist?

I would love to see some 2D art, like concept sketches and paintings on the site along with 3D stuff.

About the environments, I think there is not enough detail in the models and textures, the rooms look good, but they can be better.

I dont know much about 3D but
I found this Russian 3D site, checkout their works, and I hope it will help you.

Best.

My thought on the site is that I would parse it down to just one large window that will have rotating images in it to attract the eye. The image can stop when a button is moused over and show an image related to that part of the site.

Since the theme seems very mechanical with the pipes and portal windows, maybe have big mechanical buttons or switches to click on for the sections of your site. something related to this maybe

The digital display could show what section you will go to when the switch is pressed.
