Ok some basic points about the website/layout of things

1. Put your full name at the top and your title

2. If you're selling yourself as an environment artist make sure the first thing people see when they come to your portfolio is environment art, right now that bird is front and center and that's going to throw off recruiters a whole lot when you apply to an environment position

3. In the same vein as #2 put your best work first, in this case I'd probably go with the Roman tower, it's the most complete environment you have, and it look pretty well done. I'd put the bug environment second then your random props and finish up with the cursed crusade pieces so that you finish with another strong piece.

4. Personally I'm not a big fan of the rotation gallery at the top, or the gallery below. The rotation gallery is forcing the recruiter to click several times to see large images of your work, and then gallery below uses very small images, both of those can lose a recruiter's attention very quickly.

5. You probably want to take out things that don't fit the quality (comparable to the tower) or focus (environment) you're trying to show. By that I mean many of the lower poly, or loosely painted props and characters in your "random stuff" section (which by the way I'd rename something more professional) Because they detract from your goal, either because they look somewhat amateurish or that they detract from your image as an environment artist.

6. A shot or two of your work from Cursed Crusade it game could be helpful, though that's not a huge necessity.

7. There appear to be a lot of duplicate shots in the bug environment. There's two of the same picture for pretty much every image.
