2010-08-08 Portfolio Test
Jeremy and I (mostly Jeremy) have been busy getting a new portfolio presentation method rolled out. You can check it out here. It's still pretty early in its design, but it should give you an idea of what I have in mind for the final product. Let me know what you think.

Also, there is a Road to Epic update, and those should be back on track. http://www.garydraws.com/RoadtoEpic/
2010-08-02 Old files
I really like the layout on Genc Buxheli's portfolio site (http://genci.studiogmsoft.com/), and I've been working on some layouts similar to his. Although, I'm finding that a number of my old 3D models are missing files, and getting the wireframes, textures, and original concepts is proving quite difficult. I'll continue digging through all my archives to find the files I need and be sure to have something for next Sunday. It's still a layout I would love to utilize for future game model postings. The only downside is that what Genc has laid out doesn't allow room for text descriptions, and that's a big part of what I want to have available for my work. I'll find a way to cram the information in there. Somewhere.
I've also been completely distracted by playing Final Fantasy XIII. It's been getting good lately, and I inadvertently found myself pumping in about 12 hours this weekend. So sad.
If you're skimming through: I've been lazy, and there will be an update of an undetermined magnitude on Sunday the 8th.
2010-07-20 Updates
One of three freelance projects is wrapping up. I've still found time to work on Road to Epic. So, once I get a bit more work done on the freelance projects and the money goes through, I'll have plenty to update with.
Also, I'm stepping back and taking a look at my portfolio, and I'm not pleased with how it is presenting information, especially for 3d models. I might go in and redesign that to make it easier to get the information a prospective employer would need. I'll toy around with some layouts in the coming weeks, and hopefully I can get some user feedback before making a final decision.
Keep checking back.
