    Nice work , I like the portfolio overall. Looking at the individual pieces I think you got some cool things. The tri-count on the first character though. 22k tris? Seems heavily un-optimized. The orcish sword seems a little bit misplaces, mainly because you got environments and characters then you have a whole section for the sword, which is probably the weakest piece you've got especially compared to other Warhammer stuff you see around these forums.

    Other than that, nice work on the portfolio layout! Nautilus environment was really nice, with a great breakdown.

    Some cool stuffs.
    You should make a separate page for each section, it's annoying to re-click on the "project" navigation button every time to go back to the gallery.
    I would prefer to put your real name in the big title unless of "Mesh machine".
    Works are well presented : clean and efficient.
    I would put the mine environment before the sword, since it's a environment and you want to sell yourself as an environment artist, not a weapon artist.
    Maybe it's better to put the icons on the bottom to the contact section, so people can reach you easier instead of searching them at the bottom of the page.
