Congrats on launching a fun personal site. Can definitely see that you have put a lot of effort on branding. The colors and fonts are nice and consistent and like the preloader.
The thing that is missing is some more interaction between the elements. The implementation of parallax and scrollable animations could be considered. On the home page I can see moving planets, stars, and you the UI Viking floating around the universe with parallax motion and maybe a blurred planet really close that is a little slower than other elements in parallax movement. I would also make the "UI VIKING GRAPHIC DESIGNER" a text instead of image and animate that. The portfolio page is more like a gallery and this type of display has been seen in a lot of other portfolio pages. This is not really the best UI way to display the projects, because it doesn't have that unique feeling.
I also see some broken links at the first three portfolio items, maybe first, the 404 is not really broken. The projects are great, but overall you are going more for quantity over quality of the content. I miss some nice case studies with your thought process explained. Maybe consider about focusing only on projects that really stand out and present your skills. And also display them with nice scrollable animations, not like a gallery.
Overall the creative part is there, but execution could be improved.

You are right. Talented person can do different things with the same degree of success and enjoy both at the same level or so. My question about the mask is irrelevant :)
My favorite - "Weekly Runes. Sig"
Design and art in the general not really a friends :) Here are some tests (2015 http://foxblog.css-fox.com/puzzle-fox-triangles/ ) we have made to see how will Cssfox look using more artistic style, but the current direction is going different way :)
Here is my Runes: https://webtalkto.com/other/vector-novel-without-words/3_4_2.html

Thanks) i think it depends, when i have to design a huge dashboard for a client so i'm more like an UI designer, but then i have to blow off some steam and do something for myself, so and for now this is my RUNES project. Unfortunately i don't have too much time to get to runes now((
Wht about you? Are you a designer or an artist?

Absolutely :) both are great works. My point was more about - what is you more? Where is you and where you use a mask?
By the way, is it PS you are using to create Weekly Runes and such?

"WAVES Dashboard" and such vs. "Son of Odin" and "No more mess" and such.

Just a thought while looking thru your portfolio page :)
Art and design, such an obvious difference here. Art and design - Nature and mask?
