Student: Sang Jin Hong's Portfolio

[SJHong]

Hello, I'm a student at The Art Institute of Portland, Majoring in the Media Arts and Animation program. I'm seeking to strengthen my skills and work towards become a concept artist for movies/games. I'm currently in my last year and would greatly appreciate any feedback/crit on my work so far. Thank you for time and thoughts.

Hey man, just a few thoughts.

It looks right now like you are either obsessed with Mayans or Aztecs (?) or like you did a larger project for school (or any other reason) with that topic.

A option would indicate that you are stuck doing one thing - not good.

B option would indicate that you are lazy to do more than you have to - again not good

Wider variety of topics would be preferred and it would show you as someone more imaginative, knowledgeable and passionate.

I know you got other topics going on as well, but they are the very end of that slider thingy.

The clumsy slider thingy - I hate it. I want to have better control over what I click on and how I move through your gallery. Folders with thumbnails would be preferable.

Last thing I would add that your traditional work like

is much stronger than your colored digital work at this point.

Best of luck with your career and I hope it didn't come out as too harsh.

Hello, thanks for the crit I appreciate any feedback given. The Aztec work was the latest concept project I worked on. I was watching an interview with a pro and they mentioned that they like seeing work in project sets i.e characters, backgrounds and such to show you can cover a wide range on 1 project. I have other project sets behind the Aztec set, but they are older so I put the newest stuff in the front (hoping to show my skills are improving). I do agree that the slider probably isn't the best way of moving through the gallery. Maybe something where they are organized within folders, and maybe captions to indicate what they are would showcase the work better.
