You should charge as much as you can get someone to pay, but having a free site on Geocities tarnishes your professional image. Besides that point, the site looks like a little kid did it.

If you want to be a professional, you need a professional presentation (website). I would suggest spend a little time creating a better design for sight and find a commercial hosting service.

100USD for a cartoon model of that quality! Good luck, or come up with original cartoon characters, or else you''ll get a can of whoopass opend by copywright laws.

WHAT FORCES OF EVIL?

Your models look great! AP was right though, presentation is EVERYTHING! You need a domain, not too much $ anymore, and an impressive, clean looking web site. I don''t know how much freelance modelers usually charge, but I know how much I''d charge you to build you a *real* website. I may be new to programming (C++), but not at all new to HTML, Flash, etc. Depending on what you want, I can create you a professional looking web site for between $300-$1000.

It looks like the human models were done in poser...

Hey,

If you are freelancing, then you should be at that point where you can asess your own work and determine how much your time is worth.

Looking at the art, the subway scene is not consistant with the quality of the characters. And unfortunately it''s giving me the vibe that it is not all original. This is glaring, and potential employers will spot this in 10 seconds.

Hi...thanks for all your comments...I am considering getting a professional website....And since im new to the freelancing scene...and to top it all from India...I have no clue how to charge overseas clients.

And, no UltimaX my models are not made in Poser...I have modelled and textured them in 3Dmax and sculpted the details in Maya.

And Lamont your right abt my scenes not being consistant..but that cause they were done between long periods...abt a year and half....however I will change them to looking more consistant.

Thanks again for taking your time to reply to this post

Maybe you misunderstood me, that was a complament. I was saying they looked good, maybe I shouldn't have put the '...' at the end.

EDIT: BTW, that motorcycle looks sweet.

I usually charge around 100USD for cartoon characters and abt 350-500 for the human characters with clothing and textures.

You usually charge?


So then why did you ask? O_o


Your models are pretty good IMHO. Did you make it all? It reeks of borrowed content. You might want to think about lending your services on a volunteer basis first, just so you have some sort of customer base to work with. It''s great for experience too.

The models are decent (Theres always room for improvement though), but your texturing skills are the pits. Perhaps you could partner up with someone and have them texture your models? A lot of professional 3D development firms do that. It''s a great way to exchange critisism.


Cheers.
