"I requested a meeting with Stephen to see if he could take a quick look at my site to offer any advice. I knew he would be able to offer some suggestions on streamlining things and making them more palatable for someone wanting to see my work. He explained what he was always looking for as a recruiter, and provided some wonderful guidance on how to simplify my own site. The toughest part for me was figuring out how to simplify and cover the multiple skill sets I needed to represent, not just one singular role. He’s got a great eye for character design, but also a wonderful eye for artist representations, too."

"Today Mainframe Studios offered me a junior set design position for a year and I accepted it! I’ve waited so long for this and I’m ecstatic! I believe things really took a turn when I engaged myself in the art community where I was able to meet you! We had a skype meeting last may when I first talked to you about pursuing this position and together we formulated a plan for my portfolio. That was when things really picked up steam and I’m so grateful to have had you mentor me through this process. Thank you so much, you’ve been such a great inspiration and source of wisdom for me and the art community!”

"The prospect of booking a consultation with Stephen Silver was exciting for me. Growing up watching Danny Phantom and Kim Possible, I was familiar with his work. However, I was still anxious about what he would say about my portfolio, but the anxiety was unnecessary. My critique from Stephen was very frank and detailed, and his insight helped me see what I needed to improve on and what direction I needed to take to land a job in this industry. Thirty minutes was enough time to get the write amount of feedback, and the draw overs really helped since I'm a visual learner. Thank you Stephen!

What other students have asked...
During the talk I would like to show you some of my work and receive a feedback on it- can I just send you my artwork via email?
Is there a specific format of the artwork you would like to receive? like jpg or pdf?
Would I just be sharing my screen with you and sharing the work I want to show that way?
I am aware we only have 30 minutes- would you suggest limiting the pieces to a specific number?
