Have you looked at the conceptart.org forums? http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=229142 there's tons of great information there and loads of Q&A on the Ringling threads :) Otherwise, from what I can tell, I'd say you're on the right path, I like your paintings most. Did you include any figure work? If it helps at all, here was my accepted portfolio: I go by "copperfire" http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=128605&page=6

That's ok! :) I can see your "2011-2012 portfolio pieces" are they the same as your Ringling portfolio?

Seems your portfolio is set to private, so it can't be viewed by people like me :)

Nice stuff! I actually really enjoy your rough drawings the most. I'd like to see more of that instead of the refined stuff. Maybe some more gestural work. I'm also not seeing any action lines or construction, it seems like you're focusing too much on the contour line then on what makes up those lines. I do like your line work, but it might be something to consider and may even get more movement ad weight into your drawings. Good luck, looking good so far!
