I have no idea what my best work is...
How do I figure it out?
Should I go by amount of likes? views?
Scratch pieces that are a certain "age"?
Link to my portfolio: https://www.artstation.com/evf if someone feels like chiming in :)

Cheers polycounters!

    I can give you few suggestions :
    House in a tree -> I would frame the house with darks and probably lighten the sun rays , its overall too bright for a forest scene  foreground dark , background dark frame the house in the middle -> like a stage spotlight
    Sod house village -> I would remove this one , composition is all over the place , its confusing and I cant really tell the scale
    Autumn lodge -> either remove or rework background , road that end in the middle of the image is no no for me
    Collapsible apothecary cart -> remove ,color are too washed out
    Selbas, Old Town -> I would swap light and dark version
    Magical mishappening -> remove
    Trade rush -> remove
    The tavern at the edge of Col d'Hiver -> remove
    Simitemple -> remove
    Last 4 are old and rough not really communicate your current skill
    "Nyankies de Future" Animation backgrounds coloring, Watch episode 1!! -> this one is questionable

    @carvuliero Thanks a lot for your time!

    Agreed on House in a tree advice, makes a whole lot of damn sense.
    I will be weak on sod house village...
    Autumn lodge, the road is suppose to go down the hill, so 'I'll try to indicate that better, and move it off the middle.

    I agree on removing the last four you mentioned, I was on the edge about them...thanks for the push :)

    Also thinking of removing  hollow log pass(looks rough),
    And reworking Tree nest's light, which feels flat.
     Thoughts?

    Agreed on Nyankies since I only did coloring and no design... was just trying to advertise for them a bit, keep for resume/experience.

    Thanks again for the suggestions :)

    Yes Hollow Log pass can go
    You could arrange them in some way , maybe  rate them and put the top 3-6 in the top row [on my screen top row has 6 slots]
    Why don't you try to push colors of Draakki Forge just a bit
