I'll be taking it down in 2012, because it'll be too out-dated to really be useful to anyone.</span></div><div style="font-weight: bold; "><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br /></span></div><b>UPDATE (2011/03/03):</b></span><blockquote> I was talking with the lovely <a href="http://tarynnosaurusrex.blogspot.com/">Taryn Gee</a> today, and she brought up a good point that got me thinking. My entrance portfolio seems to be one of the very few (or only one) that's online in it's completeness. Don't take this as the <i>right</i> way to do it, it's just what I did, and there's lots of things I could have done better and tons of things I could have done differently, and I was following a different set of requirements than what's up now. Being original is always a plus. Also, if you found this helpful, please <i>please</i> post your own portfolio up, even if you don't love it, so there's more current and varied examples for future illustration students.</blockquote><br />When I was applying to Sheridan and first starting on my portfolio (just a few months ago), I was pretty much desperate to find any examples of finished BAAI portfolios, but found the internets a little lacking (though, if you, like I was, are obsessively looking for any examples of Sheridan applicant's art, check out posters on this thread on the conceptart.org forums: <a href="http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=13760"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Sheridan Information Please!</span></a> Tons and tons of great info) . So I decided that after I completed my portfolio I would post it for fellow prospective students to view, whether or not I got in (I <span style="font-style: italic;">did</span> get in, however, which is completely awesome).<br /><br />If you have any questions, feel free.<br /><br />And for those of you who are score conscious, this portfolio scored 89 (out of 100), the minimum entrance score is 66. (though I think some lower scores are waitlisted)<br /><br />Here's the portfolio in full, including even the few pieces that I wasn't super happy with (I hope you all appreciate me posting those) First up is the drawing test.<br /><br /><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_wM2YXWMezO8/SAL_O81s9XI/AAAAAAAAADg/JfPxn6lgpWA/s1600-h/DT+01+Food+Fair+Finished+copy.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;
