I've been trying to break into
the freelance illustration biz with not much luck.I thought that maybe this
http://www.ianbyers.com/ib_ill_s…
would help.What do you guys think, it's not done
yet and it needs some kinks worked out, but what do you think
of the design/ illustration style?Eager to hear comments, good or bad.
thanks,
ibye

- ibye0
No, but I will take a look
and maube apply, looks like
a really good outfit.thanks

Anyone?
I just want some feedback.

That's Hugh Heffner! I love Hugh Heffner!
Your illustrations look good. One little feedback on the presentation, though: When you look at an illustration, it would be great if you could just click anywhere to go back to the menu instead of having to click the "back" button.

thanks, who doesn't love hugh?
Good point, I will make the illustration itself clickable to go back home.

From asking around, I wouldn't recommend Ispot if you're trying to break in. You could luck out of course, but the pricetag is pretty high...

Yeah, i looked into it, it is
out of the question at this
point.

there's a bug in your swf. when I click the back to main button it goes back to the main image, but there is a blank screen for about 2 seconds and then goes back to the home image.
Also not all the thumbnails work?
I think your illustrations is good, but you need to spend more time on some of them. I like the hugh drawing too, it has more personality then the others. Maybe you should do a bunch that has a similar look to that.

there's a couple of illustrations and animation you should feature in that illy showcase.
- ibye0
I know about the bug, I'm not
sure how to fix it though.It's not done yet, I just wanted to get an idea of peopel thought,
Which illustrations, animations
piper?

I checked out your full site, and I love it! Why are you making this new one again?

Hey Ian,
For some covereage try:
These are the boys for getting your work seen, either get a page in their book, or some illustration set up online, with a link to your site.

Thanks. but I think it needs
a redesign maybe something
more simple like the showcase example.But I plan to make the showcase
a projector file on a cd that
I will send out to art directors
ect.. (to get noticed better
than a postcard)

Will,
I looked at the site
what does this mean in
dollars? £100+VAT

I like the ninja and the flasher, animation. Also love 9, 10, 5 in your illustration section 6 is good too. There are personality in those illustrations.
You should do more celebrities one and try to get a gig at Entertaiment weekly! They use a lot of illustrators.
I agree, you don't need the showcase site. As I think your work in your portfolio is much better. Plus the showcase site is a bit flat compared to your portfolio.
You need to update your site a little but it's really good.
Hey How is the babybayers business going? Hope it's good. And the glass dildo?
- ibye0
I'm trying to keep to one particular style in the showcase.
9 10 and 5 will be in there.I am doing more celebrities,
for the exact purpose of
getting the work into E weekly or
a simialr mag. E weekly is my
big goal though.Baby biz is not going so well,
but the glass dildo site is almost done, I will post
it when it is.
