This guy (Jonboy Meyers) has fantastic energy in his work, and I really think it comes through on his website. Since his work is primarily comic cover illustrations, he has very extensive and intense colors to balance in an online-portfolio style presentation.

Although I’ve never met the man, the way he communicates his work gives me a definite feel for his personality and style without even having to read any of the work descriptions. That type of communication is exactly what I want to come across in my portfolio.

Speaking of color, this site can definitely help on establishing a moody palette for portfolios. I don’t have a lot of trouble placing color in compositions in digital paintings or in my concepts, but laying out colors in a portfolio setting that don’t overpower and actually match my work has given me trouble in the past.

This guy has an extremely extensive portfolio in regards to subject matter and medium, and the way he has it organized on his site lends to showing the wide arrange of skills that he has. He categorizes his work inside groups of its medium and purpose (personal, black & white, etc.) instead of organizing into a resume-style of jobs he’s worked on. Although it’s concept art related, it still could definitely provide some inspiration to people looking to display the wide range of skills they have.
