Really liking the skeleton king and still life piece man, I'd work on that skeleton guy!

I think what might help is approaching a painting with just one brush, you seem to be using all these different brushes just for the sake of using them, try rendering materials with just a normal round brush, rely less on the texture brushes etc and I think you'll get a more solid painting that way.

As for the girl/sword piece it looks to me like her head is a bit too far right and sort of detached from her neck and the hilt of the sword doesn't seem to be in perspective?

Hope I don't seem too harsh, you're definitely improving man!

Great critique! Thanks!

Several people have suggested i go back to the round brush, so I should probably do so. I used just one or two brushes for the still life and it came out nicely.

I plan on finishing up the skeleton king, and getting the girl and her sword into proper shape.

Anyhow, as far as studies today I'm going to be hitting them from a drawing perspective (probably traditionally) If anything digital happens today it'll be round-brush-bonanza.
