Hey! Great sketchbook. I really love your goal to create a portfolio centred around a core project and to treat that like client work. It's something that I'm thinking about a lot at the moment. I spend a lot of time creating fan art and thinking about other people's creations, but I'd like a portfolio full MY OWN cool stuff - so - I'm now writing a novel and illustrating it as I go to create portfolio pieces.
A thought on your recent paintings: I think it would be great to see you play with colour. I'd like to you throw in some select splashes of increased saturation, and that would help tell the reader where the focus is (just like adding more contrast - which is something else you could play with - really ramping up the contrast on a small focus area). At the moment, I feel like the saturation of your colours and the contrast is pretty level across the whole image.
For inspiration on what I'm talking about:

Overall there's already loads to like about your paintings, but I just thought that might help to push the atmosphere and bring out the focus :)
