My web portfolio: Pshop work, photography, drawings, 3d modeling and animation

Hello y'all!

I'm kinda new to the forum so I thought I'd post this for everyone: www.adamarp.com

As an aspiring professional artist I would very much like feedback on the art at my site.

Also, I'd like to use you all as beta testers of a sort. I tested the site with Mozilla Firebird and Internet Explorer 6. If you are using a different browser and you come across a problem please fire me off an email letting me know what browser you're using and what happened.

Thanks so much! This is a great community and I've had a lot of fun participating in it!

Oh, and mods, if this qualifies as plugging just let me know and I'll only post individual images from my site.

if you have animation work, why aren't you showing the animation, not just stills? you should put the compressed copies on the site. i think that you should work on your information design, it is a little bit jumbled. like your dates are underlined but so are your links and you have no rollovers so it is sometimes hard to determine what is and isn't a link. i don't like the look of that blurry slop at the top and left, but that is just a taste issue i guess. also a lot of people shun the use of courier, just so you know.

if you hit home at the bottom, my page got an error. is this your first website? it is decent if that is the case.

Well, the animations would be up, but I'm hosted on the personal website server at my college for the summer, and they only allocate 7mb... the site thats up barely fit.

I'll see what I can do with the links, perhaps a different color. I don't like rollover text links, I think they can be distracting.

The "slop" as you put it happened to be a style I was working with at the time of the site design.

Courier was used to create tension and juxtoposition between the artsy/painterly "slop" and the machine-like quality of the text.

Thanks for the heads up on the link error!

And no, this is not my first website.

great stuff. keep at the 2d stuff, i like it. hey, check out my stuff and see what you think. we have a similar perspective

Its very provocative, I like it a lot!

I like your traditional approach to the digital medium, its nice to see another artist that doesn't stick entirely with the computer, or still applies traditional technique with the computer.

...back to my site I changed the font, I guess it looked a hell of a lot worse than I thought, because everyone I talked to didn't like it. So, I've switched to sans-serif and I'll have to admit that I like it better now too.

I also made the links more distinguishing using some DHTML (thanks analinguist).

Please keep the comments coming!

i'm just giving you suggestions for some who does it as a profession... keep it up tho.. i'd love to see the changes that you make, if any. sucks about the server space, i know that they can not be a whole lot.
