Two tips of the hip:

Finish your education (in terms of finish college and go to university or make an apprentinceship) (I don't know if you plan on going games with 17 that is)

Try working on one really great Portfolio piece, combining all the effort you put into the rest of your stuff. Right now it looks like a great amount of work spread on too much unpolished stuff. Get that focused and show you can pull of one great thing, skip the rest

[Jangalomph]

Well I'm surely still learning quite a bit!

None the less, Some things aren't as polished as they could be. I figure I'll later on do some things directly for my portfolio when I get an actual website.

[Vilham]

Yeah as e-freaks has said, focus on one thing. Being able to do other things is a plus but only if you can do them well. Lots of people seem to make this mistake and on their portfolios/websites state they are all these things, don't focus your efforts into one thing and do it very well.

And definately go to uni. Not nessecarily doing a design course though tbh. You have a good 4 years before you will finish uni and thefore have plenty of time to build up on your work in your own time.
