A dreaming artist (Image heavy)

Hello everyone! I'm pretty sure no one knows who the heck I am but I've been a part of this proud community for about year and a half now and I think It's time I write a proper introduction. A lot have happened during the last year's time, I've been a part of starting a company and I've been working hard together with some greatly devoted people on a project that will probably be revealed later this year.
I've learned more about not just game art but everything surrounding the making of a games then I would ever have thought possible. And hopefully I've been maturing a great deal in the progress. It was a couple of years ago I decided that I would go with my life dream of becoming a full time game concept artist/illustrator. It's been a couple of intense and rough years turning down regular jobs only taking art related ones and just working hard on improving the level of my art but I'm happy with the progress I've made and I wouldn't trade it for the world.
That's brings me to where I'm at today, I just recently started working on a portfolio and I've decided it's time to start trying to get some more interest out there as a freelancer, start making some new contacts and hopefully make a little extra money to start paying of my loans. For the curious I've posted a thread in the "Looking for work" part of the forums right here: Link. Whish me luck people!
Oh, and since images are all the rage around here I'll go ahead and post my portfolio as it looks right now:

@Rob: I never thought about selling prints, maybe I will it give a shot one day, thanks for the idea :]
@Ramen-sama: Sounds like a cool idea, be sure to show it when it is done.
