ok a few things. The buttons on the left on the radial menu need to be a little more prominent as buttons. I didnt see them the frst time.
I dont know if its a good idea to have DaVincis drawings on your site considering you are trying to showcase your own work. Anyway, it doesnt really fit the style of the site.

Instead of having small squares for each button, why not increase the size a little bit and make it a thumbnail or something.

Thats all I have for now. I may be back with more.

You should replace DaVinci with the nipple-drawing.

And it's nice, very nice. :)

Well the biggest issue is space with most of those. Making the radial buttons more prominent than they already are is kind of difficult when theyre the only thing thats really there to click on. As for the mini thumbnail, I cant afford the space, or the animation required to make the space (i.e. a mouseover-scroll series of thumbnails with fade to white on each side :: flash doesn't handle extreme animations too well, I had to make the scrolling image stoppable for lower-end users as it is) or the thumnails would be too small to determine anything from it. The best alternative I came up with was the label displaying on the bottom right; however, that never fully sat well with me and will probably change when I come up with something more functional. Believe me when I say its been thought of.

The Leonardo DaVinci thing was originally part of a wallpaper I did which would have been included in the download section, so it would have made sense. To preserve server space and bandwidth I took this out, so youre probably right that I should change it, and I've thought about it, just not sure to what yet. (no not the nipple picture...)

I'm running Mozilla 1.4.1 in Linux (Fedora Core 1) and your flash is extremely choppy. I'm talking 3-4 FPS choppy. I remember seeing your portfolio some time ago in Windows and it seemed quite a bit smoother. Might be something to look into. Anyway, I think it's excellent. Very nice work.

Wow, thats awsome, your hard work paid off.

Freelancer, it may be because of your OS, or if you have a lower end system, or running some other applications. I dont have any experience with Linux so I really couldnt tell you, and chances are it won't be looked into.

As it stands the site will lag a little on my computer, but my processor speed is below average now, but to remedy that I added a button to the scrolling image to stop it and start it to save resources. Im currently looking into a code that will dectect the fps and stop the scroll automatically. Ive viewed it on higher end computers, and everything flows perfectly though, as well as on Macs (vomits).

popup portfolios make me cry, as do ones which are 100% flash.
