Pretty clean portfolio, tis nice and easily accessible.

Only thing that needs work is the actual presentation of your characters, could do with some more 'pretty' looking renders. The usual sort of ingredients really, maybe make some pedestals and get some ambient occlusion look going with a nice subtle high light.
I'm still figuring out the rendering side of stuff myself, there's enough information floating around the net to get by though.

- I would take out the older works, they just break the quality standard of your portfolio.
- Instead of just having t-pose, I would suggest you to put them on an interesting pose, something that will reflect the personality of the characters (a super hero will fly, a warrior will smash a sword hit, etc...).
- There's also a lack of material definition on the texture. I know that an armor is made of metal, but try to play around the specular to make it more metallic. This article shoudl help : Manufato Blog Archive Brief Considerations About Materials
