As part of my Art Director job I review ( a lot of ) portfolios for possible artist positions. Here are a few advises.
#1: Please make sure to have an easy to access online portfolio? you have NO idea how many submissions I have to decline because I can't access or see any link.

#2: make sure to update your portfolio with your most up to date works.. I know we are all under NDA in the industry, but try to at least add a few personal works.

#3. Always show the reference you used to create your image/concept/3d model. If it is an original piece, mention it.
