I think your use of colour is interesting, but I also think it could be done a touch more effectively where you make certain portions of the image pop with colour, and leave some places where the eye can relax. What is interesting is if you colour pick your latest image (the one with the red and purple skulls/demons) it's very saturated, but the value read itself isn't actually strong. Proof Colors if your using PS, zoom out and have a look at it in greyscale. Does it read clearly? Can you still see what's going on?

I adore your images because they are a lot of fun to look at, but my main advice is just experiment with colour (or lack of saturation, in this case) and see how far you can push things while still maintaining the essence of you.

I know the style is far from realistic, but don't forget to carry the intense lighting to all reflective surfaces. She's got a red titty but what about the other one? Considering how purple and bright her hands are, she should probably have a purple titty too :)

Magical effects in day light are somewhat difficult indeed, I had this problem at some points - and I think I cheated by darkening the overall atmosphere. There must be a better way and you will find it.

The liveliness of the skulls is actually a skill that you have been applying all along, I believe, in all your cartoon or semi-cartoon drawings. Does it make sense or am I off base?

You've got a nice mixture of studies and characters etc here.  I like that you're exploring cartoony and fantasy styles.

I actually really like your vibrant color choices.  I struggle with that myself.

Keep up the great work

Woods guy has a broken tibia I feel (left facing leg), unless he has a very supple knee.

Maybe they work will create on you some spark of new things to try out. Maybe Even Amundsen and Mike Azevedo you already know, they are good inspiration of problem solving in painting and character design. Hope to see more things from you, you inspired me bro! Don't lose your steam! :D

You should widen the bg a bit so that it's not touching the edges of the clouds and letters and maybe add one more small element coming out of the frame on the right the same way the pumpkins do. A little bit more work and you have a masterpiece :D

I like how peaceful the scene is. The guy may be slightly annoyed by the fairies or concerned by something they say but also amused.

I had imagined the Howloween rendering much darker, especially the clouds, but I understand the characters must remain salient.

I like the (apparently) simple brushwork on the small raven study.

Might be your comfort zone, but the three pieces have good design and posture. The knight pulling the dragon's tongue is ace.

Here are a few critiques in this drawover. Let me know if they are not clear and I will elaborate. I might be wrong on the last one - I'm assuming he's about to strike but that may not be the case.

I was noodling in procreate to try to figure out what you mean but I think your color temps might be fucked or I messed something up it’s easier to figure out in photoshop. I don’t know what you mean by contrast just more values but it looks gaudy that way yours is tasteful. sorry idk what your getting at but I’m bad at reading. Also ignore the fucked up paint over lines thing I did to your art I shouldn’t blame tools but procreate is hard I couldn’t fill anything.
