The anatomy on She-Hulk has the common problem I see in artists who don't do nearly enough studies from life and photo references. Everything is drawn and rendered too sterile and unnatural like bulked-up cadavers, without consideration to how the muscles actually look underneath a layer of skin and fat. In this day and age, we have a shit ton of amazing free and paid artists' anatomy/figure references, and it would be smart to take advantage of them. There are so many on artstation alone it's kind of mind-boggling: https://www.artstation.com/marketplace/g...nce/humans
There are also lighting issues like the illumination from the explosion should light up some facets of the flying rocks but it doesn't. The hair is also something that's easily back-lit prominently, yet we don't see any backlighting on the flowing hair strands at all.
I don't know what your current situation is in terms of where you're at in your art career (or even if you want one or just enjoy doing art as a hobby), but if leveling up is something important to you, my very serious advice is this: Stop doing these illustrations for now, or at least very very infrequently, and focus on your foundational studies. If you keep going like this as you have for the past 15 years or so, you will improve and grow very slowly because you're not putting time and effort toward the most efficient way to learn and grow as an artist. You obviously put a lot of time and effort into your art since you're quite prolific, but the amount of improvement has been minimal compared to how many years you've been at it. I can guarantee you that if you put the same amount of time and energy into foundational studies, you will improve in a year or two far more than you ever did in the last 15 years. I know I'm being blunt but I feel like it'll do you a lot of good because I see how passionate you are, and it's hard to watch you go around in a circle and not moving forward nearly as far as you could.
