as usual id reccomend you spend more time learning structure as you already have some chops in rendering and values. your kiki composition with the large city in the background would look so nice if you had the line drawing skills to show say a nice billowing drapery, more refined sense of proportions/anatomy. When i was coming up I did a lot of the same things, painting painting painting, not taking drawing seriously.
Its easy to get the idea that just good rendering will take you all the way but it wont. People resonate with strong drawings, and the drawing itself should be 80% as strong as the final image imo, relying on color is a crutch. I know youre having fun, but soo sooo soo many of the isues you have in painting are easily resolved by just focusing on strucure and anatomy etc. you'll save sooo much time and struggle just going for the jugular on that, i promise
