Hail to ye!
I like that you iterated and showed your steps on the skeleton piece. I often have a problem in that my sketches and block-ins can feel a lot more dynamic than my finished piece, sometimes the flow is gone and i'm just focused on technical rendering in a stiff sort of way. Is that something you experience?
Asking since, though the painting turned out nice, I really like the value study you did of the same piece. It has such dynamic lighting and a nice focal point on the skull, enhanced by that lost edge going on to the left on the cloak. The overall value composition is better imo, the "light shapes" much more interesting, it really pops!
May your brush stay wet!
