Who is your target audience? Of course, a great variety is a plus but if you're, for example, applying for a position in the creature-design-branch, the focus would obviously be more towards anatomy, details such as clothing, and novel ideas related to it (that still need to make some sort of sense; a monster that has eyes on its toes only doesn't seem to be that smart). If you're striving to create sprites for a living, you'll definitely need to show more of them.
There is no "1 for all"-portfolio and art directors that look for an environment-designer (again, just another example) don't care if you can draw cartoon-characters. Hence, tailor your portfolio to the respective needs.
Most importantly, feature only your best works. I see a few images that look like they took less than 5 minutes to create (for example second row, third image). This doesn't have to mean that it was really created so quick but it doesn't help improving your appearance.
With that being said, the classic perspective-themes are all sorts of buildings and/or citiscapes. In short, don't just draw a house, draw a manor. Details matter.
