@tygerson Thanks for the comment, focusing on one area at a time has definitely helped when it comes to processing the studies. Love seeing you do the same in your sketchbook, those perspective drawings are looking great.
@kikindaface Good seeing you around too, rest in piece permanoobs. Being cold and analytical of my babies has helped to identify want I'm struggling with. I guess the cost of that is never being satisfied with my skills. That goblin design is looking great, hope you work more on it! Awesome faces too.
@AfricanVoodoo Thanks so much, appreciate your supportive words. Hope I can build a portfolio over the next year or so and then look for a stable income off of art. Loving the sheer volume of your sketches, it reminds me of my own drawings when I only did traditional. Can't wait to see more, keep up the great effort!

Sorry for the late response, it's just I had nothing original to show for a while. I've been focusing on studies, trying to learn how to paint landscapes. But here are a couple fun test sketches to find out what I'm still weak at; I've found my lack of a visual library is holding me back the most, along with not having the motivation to "finish" a piece, and macro-compositional values.
I'm also only showing some of the best pieces out of dozens of failed sketches done over the past month. So I've decided to upload most of my bad sketches on google drive: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9aAfo...WhGVm03Q2c
I've always wanted to see what an artist's journey looked like but it was impossible to find. Hopefully, this is an effort for a more transparent and open art community.
The pig and environment sketch I might be abandoning since I figured out what I needed to study next after analyzing them. The last piece is an Eytan Zana study, learned so much about rendering grass.
Thanks for looking, and giant thanks to everyone's kind comments, it's heartwarming to have your perspectives when I just see the flaws in my own work.
