were you playing with warm light cool shadows in the last one? it looks realyl nice and i like it. your colours are coming along nicely. I really think the master studies helped. Most of the time, the abstraction method, which i think you are using is best for environments because its easiest to recognize. if you want to do creatures try the silhouette method, where you make a shape in black then 'add light' to it, focusing on form. this works well for monsters and possible faces as well, due to the symmetrical nature of the body and faces it is hard to come up with figurative work throug abstraction. at least for me :P
