What could I improve on my portfolio website?

It has been about two years since I've touched this website! I used to have a url for it, but then it expired after I started getting a day job.

I see a lot of things that could definitely improved, like new illustrations that go far beyond my current comfort zone, with a little bit more cohesion. But what else would you recommend I change about my website?

@Michael-Angelo-Go I think the one with the turtle looking up at the monkey in the tree is the best one. So you should make that one be your worst one by having all your new art pieces be same quality and art style but even better storytelling. Make sure you have 2-page spreads, sequential art with spots/vignettes, and book cover designs. Each piece should have characters with different facial expressions and different gestures. Don't do too many of front view.

@Michael-Angelo-Go Hi Michael! Glad to hear from you again. How are you doing? It’s been a long time.

As for your portfolio, I remember last time you were into darker material, is that still your goal for your portfolio? What’s your portfolio goal currently? What type of stories do you want to illustrate? Who are your target readers? Who are your target publishers? Let’s start from there.

@Nyrryl-Cadiz Hello Nyrryl, so after thinking it through, I think I am just going to try my best to target my work more towards a middle school demographic as opposed to maybe a comic book or older direction. I'm just not in the position to change my style to fit that taste at the moment. In a sense, I am behind in my art style skills, but to change or improve that may take a very long time, require constant commitment, and maybe cost a hefty amount of money in school.

But TL;DR I will try to become a middle school book artist and draw covers and artwork featuring 10-13 year old characters, in story scenarios appropriate for that age demographic.
