Sallee has a lot of cute graphics throughout his blog that mix well with his professional side. He seems to be aiming for simplicity while keeping a light tone. His blog is creative for having the moustaches, moving parts and unnecessary fun bits, but it also maintains an air of professionalism and isn't difficult to navigate.
Garner has little animations and he blends all of his links with his artwork. He even made it possible to scroll through his entire portfolio, all of his links are on one big page. His art is in there too, specifically "Doug" and how you shouldn't mind him being there at the bottom of the sea. This work is littered with small animations and other creative pieces.
The perfect example of a creative portfolio that stops using simple text and easy navigation. Most useable buttons are in the same area, but they're not listed with text. Some things don't even make sense, such as the atom in the center leading to the comic. This portolio presents the artist's style alongside his actual art.
Hugo uses a newer style in their portfolio. It reflects the style Windows has chosen in their new Windows 8 operating system. Large squares of art with colours that contrast greatly. Thankfully text is shown in this portfolio and it's easier to navigate than other harder portfolios. The squares have bright little triangles that rise when hovered over, showing how simple and elegant the artist is.
This artist has a really incredible 3D navigation that can be controlled entirely with your mouse. Moving around you can see every bit of their art all in a big circle, scroll through and choose exactly which pieces you'd like to see. The background is a viginette (which is coming back in style) and it helps to highlight the art in the center. Clicking on any of the art takes you to a separate page where it's shown fullscreen. This is an amazing, simple creative blog that's also easy to navigate.
