That's pretty cool.

bumpp, it's in 2 days now

I'm sure the exchange program isn't compulsory, it's likely to be an option you can take in second year. You can stay on there for the second semester, or you transfer to another country as part of the erasmus scheme. If it is, be thankful. The UK has some great design courses, I'm on one. Besides, statically speaking you're more likely to die going to the corner shop than on an aircraft.

>>269175
Are you on an exchange program too? How many people per room is it? And I'm trying not to opt out of it if possible. Like I'm scared as fuck but I don't want to keep running etc

Check out wordpress themes focused on personal portfolios, maybe even themes designed for agencies. There are so many bloggers nowadays that you'll likely find at least 10 'best 50 portfolio themes' rankings in a minute. Great for inspiration.

Are you planning on developing the website yourself?

>>268921
yes although I'm not sure how I feel about using wordpress.

I know some jobs demand wp experience, and its probably really useful - but I was going to build my backend from scratch for this. In either case I could still take inspiration from some wp themes however.

I am building everything myself. I have been learning full stack development for more advanced projects than this but I have yet to establish my online presence in the form of a portfolio. I feel its best to stop and do that before continuing further with my other projects, so at least I can document it going forward.

>>268923
Well, a big advantage of wordpress is how easy it is to add content. You're limited to what the theme creator designed (although with some freedom) but for something as simple as a personal portfolio I would highly recommend it. Mobile ready, plugin friendly, dynamic, ease of use, these themes were designed precisely for people like you.

Showing your skill in developing websites yourself would be more interesting for highly specific requests. No client will pay you to code something thousands of people have done before you.

this. work on the FIG HT. and bump the green vibrance a bit but not the yellow background. also since it's a zombie a little of paper texture or water damage could make it look better.

hOW DID YOU GET THE LIGHTIN THRU THE aROUND BUILDINGS/

>>268807

My 2 cents:

Are the red squiggle lights coming from the character? If so, make them larger the closer they are to the character. Right now it looks like it's coming from further back in the city. The Character looks very out of place and rigid, and the blurring of it doesn't suggest movement to me.
Also I looked at the top left corner first because it has the most contrast and I doubt that that is what you wanted the focal point to be.

did you try dafont.com? you can filter by license if you go for advanced search. as far as I can remember there's shareware, free, free for commercial use, public domain/gpl, check it out

>>268610
Yes I've been there many time, I can''t seem to see how to do an advanced search though.

>what should be added/removed
first there's too much triangles going on. the ears should be smaller, the perspectve s mess up. the mouth shold be smaller. don't add shadows until you have the basic shape. also the stroke makes it look generic. try researchng for a fox in that pose and use it as reference.

>>268582
thank you

>>268583
I'm feeling this fox thugger!

Tweak it's right ear- looks like it's fused to the back of the head instead of the top

Thin the mouth so it looks slightly opened

Move the jaw shadow towards the right a bit- rn it looks like the jaw goes through the neck, but it does shows the presence of its snout so you figure that out

And just angle the right eye better

I really like it. Simple geometry looks nice as a more distinguished+slight vague object

I think the font doesn't go very well with everything. Maybe you should try a different font (a bolder, simpler one that stands tall and doesn't bend to the side), and use a different shade of red (if you really want to use red) for the "ABOVE" text. The two fonts are good on their own, but they don't go well together, try to balance them out with other fonts.

Also - why is the random light beam that's coming from the city directed at the UFO? Shouldn't the UFO be doing that? And if the beam really must be coming from the city at the UFO, shouldn't the spaceship have a bolder shadow-light contrast?

Other than that, I think the colors are pretty nice and that you have a good idea in your head, it just needs a little improvement in my opinion. Move the title and the text around a bit, try some new options, i suggest you move the text to the bottom right corner, but I might easily be wrong.

Keep working on it, it's good work!

make the spotlight one color (that yellow color)

put the words on top, black on white, as if they are snipplets from a document

use a typewriter / slab font

you're welcome

You probably do have autism.

you 100% have autism you fuckin fag

>>267729
I like the yellow - blue colors not usually used in this style, they really clash with the bulma and the plants. Also, the polo logo at the sides. But it lacks glow, its dense and gray, and the statue heads are too safe and cliché, maybe good for a first plane, but simple for a background. Playstation, dreamcast, pokemon and anime? The fact that your art revolves around all of those is the only reason I think you are autistic.
In the end, it´s all about mix and matching what shoudn't be, but the overall feeling must be good. Must feel beautiful. This, in my opinion, lacks that beauty.

I hear suns don't have those little yellow rays circling them either, or are 48x48.

It's a drawing, it's not based in reality.

You mean sunlight? Quite being an asshole. It's based on the sun and the sun is real and it casts no shadow.

>>267153
Oh yeah, I can see how that photo looks exactly like OP's little logo, apart from the shadow they look exactly the same. Quit being a pedantic faggot.
