Portfolio & Website Overhaul

Thank you @Robyn-Hepburn! I always crack up when I read that, too! Thanks for pointing that out!

Hi SVS Family,
I’ve updated my website to Gallery View and added more recent work and removed older weaker pieces I wasn’t proud of any longer.
I have a mix of sequential art, spots, spreads, covers, and snuck in a complete dummy to show agents and art directors that what I’ve learned here at SVS!
I also cleaned up my About Page with a professional photo.
Does my site and portfolio look professional?
Thanks for checking it out!!

@Jeremy-Ross this might be super picky, but when you click on one picture it gives you the option to continue sliding to see full versions instead of cropped. When in that mode, is it possible to keep the arrows in the same spot or do they have to be touching the sides of the images? You can click through faster if you don't have to look for the arrows every time.

@Jeremy-Ross The pictures of the squirrel and bird are really cute. However, when you have two images side by side on the top row, I can't help but notice differences in the character designs. Might need more people's opinion on this but I was told art directors look for consistency in character and it might be totally fine but I don't know if it might need to be fixed... I'm just looking for little stuff because overall it's really good and easy to use the website.

@Jeremy-Ross Who was the publisher you worked with for the Mustard series? It says "Lionrabbit" but I tried googling and couldn't find it.

@Jeremy-Ross I love your monster messaging service haha!

Hi @kayleenartlover , thanks for your input! I’ll respond to each point here.
-
The gallery view automatically puts the arrows on the image; I will see if I can make any updates to the template.
-
Good point on the duck! Yes, it’s sequential art, so definitely looking for consistency.
-
LIONRABBIT is my business. I independently published under the name.
Thanks again for your time and feedback!

Hi @kayleenartlover , Thanks again for your advice on the character inconsistency between the first and second sequential piece. I fixed it and re-posted to my portfolio.
Thanks again for pointing out what I knew deep down I needed to fix.

@Jeremy-Ross It looks great! And I can't remember what the other picture looked like but make sure the squirrel's facial features match as well, it looks really cute in this one.

Thanks @kayleenartlover!

@Jeremy-Ross
I can 100% relate to your comment "removed older weaker pieces I wasn’t proud of any longer."
There was a time when we were proud of those pieces, but as we get better and our style grows we start to outgrow them.
Very best wishes, Jeremy. Your website portfolio's looking great! -
Thank you so much @Adam-Thornton-0!
Here’s my very first drawing in 2018 compared to a recent piece.

@Jeremy-Ross It is like a different artist. Amateur to professional! Love it. Thanks for sharing those.
