I'm gonna chime in here too with some stuff, as well as some advice since you mentioned the advertisement industry as well. I'll apologize in advance for it being a bit all over the place. I think it's smart that you are thinking of something beyond just games. I think too many students zero in too much on the game…
Simple suggestion: Remove the splash page, its pointless.

It took me a while to realize this isn't a portfolio site, it's just a straight-up artist's site.
