Portfolio advice/feedback

Good morning or good evening!

I have been a long time just ghost reader for polycount but I'm trying my luck at local Melbourne studios again (despite the current harshness of the industry). Before I apply to some, I was wondering if anyone would be be happy to share some critiques about my artstation portfolio! https://jayradthefox.artstation.com/

I do have some experience freelancing, with some of the results reflected on my portfolio. But I have also worked on a small hobby indie game for 6 months with a group of around 10 people, however the work was extremely stylised.

Well you clearly are making guns! They look good to me as a non-expert in guns.

I find the thumbnails with Military Conflict Vietnam disruptive. It's nice to know they are in an actual game but the space the text takes is too much for me, especially compared to other similar thumbnails on Artstation. Also if you insist on it, make sure all the texts are the same spacing and size; the owen gun is different from the two others. Also I would make it so the thumbnails with text are all bunched together, right now the flare pistol is breaking them apart.

As for the choice of pieces, I'm not sure the bayonet, scope and the machete and sickle are as good/relevant as the others.

I think you could show some wireframes and texture sheets, especially for the assets that are in an actual game.

Finally, I went to your Artstation page (not the folio) and your banner is the knife, you have better images that you can put there now.

Hope this helps, good luck!
