Looks fucking rad. Dig the design on this last one. Nice and simple, but still reads as interesting.
*constant praise to your level of polish in traditional media*
Balancing an additional work life is always tough because if its not the primary thing you wanna do its fucking soul-sucking. Keeping on point with foundation health shit's, (e.g. sleep, food, exercise) important too as getting off the rails can really wipe out productivity. (I worked at a bar forever where that sort of thing is always under duress from external/internal pressure.) As pessimistic as it is, I think most jobs will take as much from you as they can without investing anything more that a paycheck in you; maybe consider finding another job? Jobs purpose is to provide resources, one of which is time (education, social connections, equity, lifestyle amenities, $)...or at least consider establishing clear boundaries with them and yourself about covering/on call shit. If they can't work with you, don't work with them and get another job that expects less if focusing on art is one of your primary aspirations.
Few thoughts to push,
Do you ever do small composition thumbs before hand, or do you just jump right into a character design and sort of make it work from there? How are you exercising the fundamental of the business side of art to transition it into something profitable to spot you/do you want that?
Mo Color. Can I haz it? O_o
