great updates as always dude!
As far as a crit for your latest piece, theres a few things which you could address which ive noticed. Firstly is the comp, and the fact that it feels like it's really windy or stormy from the way everything is being pulled to the left but it feels quite static at the same time, especially with the guy being on a vertical with the trees and with his facial expression not looking all that concerned with his surroundings. On the subject of comp too, the cape which runs across the bottom left of the page and the spear are acting as arrows and are pulling the eye outside the image. I would perhaps recommend (or at least experimenting) with using the cape to loop round to draw the eye back. Drapery is pretty versatile to use it to your advantage ^ ^
In terms of anatomy, the hair looks pretty weird, especially the way it's all blowing in one massive heap. Grabbing some ref with that would probably sort that problem out. Check out this piece from Tylor Jacobson, this is kinda what i imagine that hair to look like :p
Final thing is to just pull that right shoulder up abit, the arm seems a little low.
Hope this helps dude, abit blunt but i know you can handle it ;) Lookin forward to more updates from you and seeing this piece pushed further, your improvements are always motivating.
