@one_two - Hey thanks a lot! I think at the moment my linework is at a decent place, though I do often kinda use a trick of using rough textured brushes, which helps hide any inconsistencies in linework. But I also do like the look of it with the textured brush a bit, I wanna also make more nice smooth linework as well.
@cgmythology - Thanks, damn the last post was from Halloween. All the holiday madness occupied me quite a bit the last 2 months lol, but yeah I do like me some Halloween!

So I've gotten back to work after the holiday whackiness on the insect creature, I've completed a light & shadow test. I was able to identify some areas of the main characters that where sorta blending in with the background, so I was able to darken the background more. Looking at it now I still think the insect might be a bit too dark still, at least its abdomen area. I'll probably hold off on working on it for a day or two to be able to look at it again with fresher eyes, then begin the actual painting.
Also since it's early in the new year I wanted to setup some goals for myself this year. Roughly in order, I plan to start to actually get into studying the fundamentals of art, probably once I've finished this current piece I am working on I'll begin making a plan of action. Also I'm going to start to try to build up an online presence. Then finally at some point start trying to do commissions and/or setup crowdfunding (if I build up a viewership) or look into other ways to try to make a little bit of money from my art if at all possible.
