yes I know... right now it runs on my home connection.

I just talked someone into giving me some serverspace on a 100mbit webserver. I hope to get that working tommorrow.
Theres too much stuff in the background, and with such little links they are hard to see. also, no offense intented but it looks like you are trying to initate, "cool flash sites", with the little pop up window, and its layout. however i like the expression on your tartan mans face.
While others seem to be fixated on your web design, you're probably more interested in critique of your artwork, yeah?
Looking at your 3D stuff, the main thing that strikes me is that it could be lit better . . . for example, Imo Tartan could use a cool fill light to give some form to the shadowed side of his face.
You seem to use a lot of blooms and glows . . . be careful with those, as they are usually superfluous and only contribute to a sterile, "CG" look. The chrome wrist watch is also something of a CG cliche, even when executed perfectly.
In your drawing section, you have what to me looks like a photo-trace of Milla Jovovich. It reads as being a trace because the other drawings of people in your portfolio aren't proportioned nearly as well.
Its certainly possible to paint something like that without working over a photo, but like I said, the rest of your portraiture makes the Milla piece look questionable.
I certainly don't want to accuse you of tracing without more information, but if I were an employer looking at your portfolio, that's the assumption I would make.

thanks,
The Milla Jovovic picture is a trace, I used PS paths, filled them and used smudge and blur etc to smoothen it out.
I look at it as an excercise in coloring/shading.
I'll put this in the description too, as it may indeed be misleading.
