Hey man,
I have a couple critiques on your site. First off you need to remove some clutter from the website. I can almost guarantee you that an employer will not look at your "About Me" page or your "More" page.
Your about me page has English errors in the paragraph (most people wont care because I assume English isn't your first language. It's just one more thing that's not perfect, and you want your first impression to be perfect)
Your "More" stuff should be removed because you want only your best stuff on your portfolio.
The style that is really trending right now is simplicity because recruiters don't have a lot of time to go through every page. They want to get in, get out but be impressed while going through your site.
You will probably get a lot of different feedback about your website. This is just one critique.
I would roll 'About me', 'Contact Me', and 'Resume' all into one link. Call it maybe 'Contact & Resume', or something. Fewer links the better.
I would also put more art straight onto the front page without making me click, so I get a better idea of you off the bat.
I would cut way, way, way back on the captions.
"On ROC Friesepoort Drachten I was teaching and one of the students from game-development asked me to look at his Moba Game he created. I tought it was really awesome and talked a lot more about the project. I was wondering how he was going to create art because he isn't an artist and he was planning to buy game assets from the unity asset store. At that moment I offered to make the art for the game. After a few weeks I could spend some hours on this project."
Its just not necessary and it makes things seem much less professional. Something more professional would be like, "Fortress Assault is a 1v1 Mobile game. I was responsible for all art." - or something short like that. No back story, just what the thing is I am looking at, and what you did. I am looking at a game. You did all the art. Cool, next.
Instead of small thumbnails with the games splash-screen, use more active thumbnails of the actual art, which contain work that you did. Gives me a better idea of what I am about to get into, and makes me more likely to click the link.
Get rid of the 'more' menu. 'More' could be anything, I was surprised to find it meant 'more art'. Either get the 'more' content into the first page, or cut it out all-together if the art isn't up to scratch.
And last, seems like a little thing, but the background loads this scratched up image of dirt and stuff, and then it is instantly covered up by your main image, so there is no point in having it there. Backgrounds aren't really that great to have behind your work anyways, so I would just switch to a full black instead.
my comment would be dont use wix, makes it slow, difficult to link or saves images from it and causes it to break if the person viewing it has noScript installed.
Not to mention it breaks the back button so is hard to navigate.
For portfolios stay simple, some basic HTML a list of images and some contact details is all you need.
