Hey one_two!
First I just wanna say wow, what incredible output. Lots of time and effort put into these paintings and it shows. It's hard work doing multifigure paintings while telling a story and everything. Really nice work, I'm impressed.
This could be taste and subjectivity, but I'm thinking you could try, if you want, playing around with shadow shapes more. Right now there are lot's of things going on in the mid range values and not many deeper shadows. You could try linking those deep crevice shadows and cast shadows together for intresting shapes. This would also lessen the amount of details in the over all picture, making it a tiny bit less fatiguing for the eyes, while also adding more drama.
Frank Frazetta, did this very well. Here's an example: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0894/8...1686945006
You can do this shape-linking with anything really, works best if in the same value range though I think.
Anyway, great stuff , keep rocking!
