Great consistency in terms of work ethic, CG. Lunatique actually made a good point in his latest comment, you produce a lot but there's a feeling that the quality of the images has plateaued. It's not bad but there's certainly room for improvement in the points he mentioned. I guess you're aiming for a comic book kinda style, that's my guess, thus being realistic isn't what your seeking i would still encourage you to maybe try to analyze your work. The best way is to take a picture of an artist you like and place it right next to your painting and just compare, see what's missing in you work in terms of values, drawing, color, edges e.t.c. And then maybe do studies to actually change the way you handle those aspects. But if you like the way you paint right now it's perfectly fine i think. When i joined this forum i posted some older works and people pointed that i need to learn how to draw first. :D I was embarassed a little knowing that i studied drawing and painting for 5 years in an Art Academy but later it kinda sunk in and i realised that yeah, my drawing isn't that good, it can be better for sure. So i started paying more attention to drawing and structure and it produced results. I'm not a fan of giving critique. If i don't have anything nice to say i don't say anything because i realised one thing. If you as an artist don't really see your flaws and you're not willing to improve nobody can really get that in to you. As long as you are content with the level you're at it doesn't really matter if people make sense or not. That's why i think many people stay where they're at, because they either don't want to move any further or don't see what is there that can be done. And it's ok, it's what they do. So if one doesn't see or realise that there are things to improve other people's input is pointless.
Anyways, keep up with what you do! Art isn't only about constantly seeking how to be better but it's also a really fun activity so if you're comfortable and you have fun more power to you.
