      I just did the 60$ portfolio review from the "Illustration Department" website. For me it was incredibly helpful. I posted an unlisted video on my youtube channel for any SVS'rs that were interested in seeing what they might get from a review - I checked with SVS to make sure they were ok with me posting it here and they are cool with it (of course 🙂 and Giuseppe is cool with it too.
      The video that Giuseppe sent me was sent via wet transfer
      Here is the video of my portfolio review.

        @Kevin-Longueil Thank you so much for posting this! I just watched the video linked in your post, and Giuseppe's review really does seem to be very helpful.

        I will definitely consider doing this when I have my website up and running.

        As an aside, this was also my first time visiting your website. Your work is gorgeous, and your website is really sleek and easy to navigate. It would be great, as Giuseppe said, to get to know you a little better in the contact/about me page. 🙂

                Thanks for posting this! It seems very helpful and your work looks great. I especially love some of those character design/portraits! Did the Oz series get started in the book cover class by chance?

                Oh, and perhaps a silly question, but do you mean web transfer? And how does that work? Is it like Dropbox or something? Thanks!

                  That is awesome thank you for sharing! I once won a portfolio review from him through twitter, that is how I got to know of him, back then it was an emailed review, his new audio visual is awesome. Your work is amazing!

                    this is super helpful, thanks so much for sharing. I've been considering signing up for a review from him but was wondering what it would be like!

                      @LauraA I think Kevin means WeTransfer? That's a site where you can drop a file and make it available to someone via a link for a certain period of time. It's sort of like dropbox minus the long term storage aspect and it's free.

                        I was hoping this would be helpful for folks! - i think i would have done this sooner if i had a better sense of what it would be. I was definitely worried about what i might hear.

                        Thank you all for the kind words about my work! @animatosoor @aprilshin @burvantill @LauraA @lmrush @StudioLooong @Jason-Bowen

                        @animatosoor I do need to write an "about me" statement...not good at talking about myself. I need to get over that.
                        @LauraA The OZ series was started way back when there was an oz character redesign challenge for 3rd Thursday...2 or 3 years ago? - i've just kept at it for some reason:) WetTransfer is new to me too but it is just as Taylor describes.

                          @Kevin-Longueil Dude this is super handy. Thank you for posting this! I'm always leery of handing money over to someone for a review. I may indulge in this, though!
