Seems fine to me!. I might add more to the about me part ( the resume). Make you sound a little more interesting.

If you need more charm or visual presence, maybe now's the time to work on a personal logo. Something that can easily be applied to business cards and other materials.

Logo, some color in name ? Nicer backgrounds / unified presentation would be a big thing
A little more space between header texts would also help

thanks guys , definitely i need a logo , and better background , any thougths on the sculping / texturing part?

It would be nice if there was a button to go back to the main page, like a back and forward arrow.

I think it'd be nice to see a set colour scheme. At the moment it's a little monotone, which is fine, but I think it's easier to make your page more striking with a small injection of colour.

Looks nice though!

i've think about the monotone , i would like to have a brownish blackground but since the material i use for sculp is brown maybe it can carry away the main focus?

WesleyArthur · Nov 2014

Yeah it might do. Perhaps you could look up some autumn colour schemes? They're quite earthy and might help you to identify a colour palette that you like.

I really like the interface.

I thought I was going to have to click back and forth through pages, but it scrolls seamlessly. Hope you keep it.

Hello guys ,thanks for the critics!
So i've made a few changes on the web , really like how Wesley got that nice contrast with the orange , gonna set that till i find a good combination of browns , i re arrange the image size and the order they show up.
hope you like it!
cheers!

WesleyArthur · Nov 2014

I'm glad I could help! Haha yes that's quite similar to mine haha, but I reckon a combination of browns would go really nicely with your sculpts. Perhaps a yellowy colour with a greeny brown? Or a yellow-orange with a dark brown.

Overall, it looks like you have two complete pieces - the orc and willabee, but for some reason poor Will is untextured except on the banner image. The rest are fine models, but incomplete.

On a portfolio, you really only want to present finished projects. If you want a WIP section, then have that in a separate site.

The warrior is a start, but the texture - especially the clothes and the beard - really feel like a first-pass.

Always start with the fully-textured & rendered beauty shot, not the last as in the orc's page. Include wireframes, polyconts, and texture sheets for all projects, and include your name & contact information on each image.

On the orc, the orange eyes are odd. I guess you were going for a demonic glow, but in that case, they should actually emit light - the sockets should have a faint orange tint; I still think, however, that a more traditional iris - perhaps the tawny yellow from a lion would work.

The black-on-black clothes could be better. Perhaps change the trim and the raised portions of the metal to silver, or a deep maroon.

The teeth - especially the tusks - are too shiny. The material from the skulls would actually be a more realistic choice. Consider this bad boy, especially his broken tusk - note especially the color of the broken section and the shape of the break:
