is my portfolio "good enough"? I feel like a fraud honestly.

Hello everyone. So I'm a narrative media artist - long story short, I build cohesive stories hrough many media.
here's my current portfolio https://abalone-blade-5f9.notion.site/Nokturne-Multimedia-narrative-artist-and-n...
I feel like I have either a) impostor syndrome or b) no skill at all. And most of all, I want to start freelancing, not to get rich but to sustain myself while building my interactive project, which requires a lot of learning already.
So, where do I go from here in your opinion? I'm a jack of all trades and though I have an area of interest where I'm building skills (real time 3D currently w/tech art chops) I'm still at the very beginning.Thank you and have a nice day >_<

I always encourage someone to learn web development, you get your own freedom and branding over your page than any other web builder. And It’s easier to learn than you might think and I could guide you through it if needed. You would have to buy a domain though which isn’t terribly expensive.

Portfolio doesn’t look bad, I just don’t think notion is a good place to build a website. If you choose a web builder, you can look into Google Sites (completely free), or SquareSpace or Wix (subscription based with free plans). That’s all I can give you right now.

For freelancing, you can look into Fiverr as it’s the most popular, but it’s pretty competitive and you really need to stand out to have success on the platform.

Hey thanks for the reply. I'm defintely going to follow your advice at some point, just not immediately. I thought of using cargo or Squarespace yes :D
I was mostly interested in an opinion on the work itself, which you said wasn't bad so thanks.
Always open to more opinions by the way.

I’m choosing not to visit a Notion site, but as help with what I can see: I second the suggestion if carefully choosing your website host. Immersive art projects depend on a setup you as the artist control, which is the opposite of what an AI-generated site offers.

Additionally, you might want to research how to write project descriptions. Your current itch.io projects aren’t conveying enough to me about what you meant to present. There are guides here on itch.io that break down what effective descriptions tend to look like.

noted, thanks!
