Lovely sketchbook! Your portraits really show character :)
I like that idea of translating an old (game) character to a painting!
I envy how fluid and lifelike you do the postures of your characters - that comes from lots and lots of practice/gesture drawing I guess... makes them really feel alive, even the sketches.
Only weakness I can spot so far seem to be skintones and sometimes rendering (for quicker paintings at least) - both tend to be on the muddy side sometimes (not in all paintings! Just some). Maybe some focused exercises in this area? :)
Anyway! Merry Christmas to you :)
