Hey, great work getting so many pieces out.
In general a few places I think you could focus on Is to find some more edge variation. Sometimes the crispness of everything can be a bit overwhelming for the eye making it hard to focus on the intended focal points and can make depth a bit confusing at a glance.
I think in general you could also work on finding some more shape variety. There seems to be a tendency towards symmetry and allot of similar sized details or shadows in say the clothing in your pieces.
you can group some of these things and add some size variety. i think it will bring some more life and flow to your work.
I started off this little paint over by just blurring some of the non focal areas like the buildings and lower down his chest. this boosts the dimensional effect when your eyes are looking at the face where the main focal area is.
you can stand to lose some more detail and have some less defined edges in the areas of shadow and away from the focal point.
for example, having his teeth less cleanly detailed helps steer attention to his eyes which is probably more of a natural place have the viewers eyes sit on.
hope it helps at all.
keep up the great work!
