[WEBSITE] Mabelma's Portfolio, Looking for Crits

[Alpha Six]

Your "art styles" shown in the art section show almost no variety. It's all incredibly simplistic (and amateurish), and that will make it VERY difficult to get an actual paying job with people that aren't just simple flash developers-- especially when the three games shown that you've "worked on" also have the exact same amateurish and simplistic look.
You need to look into doing more styles, and improving your general technique overall.
Don't focus on your site so much, focus on your actual art itself. Once you've stacked up a decent amount of varied art, then you should work on your portfolio.

And don't be vague anywhere in your portfolio. Where it says "many more," fill in exactly what that "many more" is. Don't give people such a huge cluster of "skills and tools" because if you're not actually skilled enough in said skills, you're only going to let down your clients, or they'll be forced to work with an average skill level. What you need to do is show a lot of people your work and have THEM evaluate whether or not you're skilled at it, not self-evaluate yourself.


You also mention "animation" and "web design" as one of your skills, and yet you don't have any examples to show it. At all. Your "past employers" also need a link to their website or forum profile or ANYTHING, so people can evaluate your past clients and their projects that you may or may not have taken part of, so they can decide if they really think you'll be up to snuff for their work. Putting "web design" as a skill is also a really bad idea when your own portfolio has virtually no design to it (and looks like it uses a default template style).

You don't want to overexaggerate any of your "skills" unless you are absolutely 100% sure that your "skill" in the medium you listed will satisfy more than just the client.
