Nice updates! Really dig the compositions and expressions of the dragons. Were you inspired by the new Doom game? Kind of gives me 'Doom' vibes which I really enjoy. Keep up the great work!

A portfolio is about quality most often then not. If you want to sell print or make make illustration for video game you need to work on better rendering also some of those work do not really fit the rendering style of those studio in my personal opinion (talk about blizzard mostly). Also you are including fan art in your portfolio this does not make your portfolio look serious to any other potential employer who are looking to hire you so in essence by including fan art you kind a close the door on yourself for more opportunity.

My advise is simple yet take alot of time to get a better understand and master of the fundamental of art because it really the key to copying style you cant get there by luck you have to understand what choose those studio are making to establish there style and for that you need a solid understand of the fundamental of art.

Just be patient and keep working if you really want to show your creativity maybe stop copying big studio so much that way you can show you have creativity... but if you copy studio and dont show much creativity...what are they going to ask of you... to be good at rendering... but if your not that great at rendering why would they hire you...So work on creativity and your fundamental.

Don't feel discouraged it take a lot of work to be at the same level as those people we admire so it best if you are honest with where you artistic skill are at right now. You might not be ready to take all this in right now but i believe that overtime you will understand why i said those thing because it clear that you admire those universe/studio and there many people in your shoe and if you want to be one of them you have to be as serious as some of them.
