@franksandovalart hi Frank!! I was in a similar boat a few years ago as I started in games and then our game never released and - well there goes showing any work I had done for the last few years.

It’s funny because when I saw your art I thought it felt very reminiscent of game art as well, especially with how beautifully you render! My recommendation is to really focus your portfolio on story telling, put together 10 pieces that have a clear story and then use that to reach out to agents, attend SCBWI conferences (there is one about to happen you might be able to sign up, you have to submit 3 pieces by the 14th) as agents do look at portfolios there.

Your work is incredibly technically strong so I’m sure once you get the portfolio focused down you’ll find an agent easily ️

@carlianne Thank's for your recommendation to focus on storytelling, clear story for my work on my portfolio!

SCBWI conferences, I will definitely consider doing that

Thank you!

@franksandovalart Hi! I think everyone has made great points about your portfolio. I'm going to focus more on your site's layout.

Firstly, you don't have a tab that connects directly to your portfolio. I understand that your logo functions just that but at first viewing, I actually got lost when I left the portfolio page. Creating a clearly labelled tab would be very helpful to your viewers. If not addressed this might be the one thing that puts off a potential client.

Secondly, you don't have an 'About Me' page. I think someone has already mentioned this above. It will be very beneficial for you if you could share more about yourself to your potential clients. Tell your art education, your past experience, what you want to work in, and maybe some fun info about yourself.

i hope this was helpful.

franksandovalart

@Nyrryl-Cadiz yes it was very helpful, thank you!!

@franksandovalart Your work is super fun! I'll chime in and recommend that you join SCBWI if you haven't already, and then attend the conferences and submit your portfolio. The winter conference is coming up next week. Good luck!
