Hey man, good to hear you're feeling some stronger love for the craft. I really get what you're saying when you talk about jumping right into stuff as opposed to doing something totally unrelated to whatever it is you'll be doing for the rest of the day. For me, personally, sometimes it's so hard to just get to work straight from waking up, it takes forever to wake up fully. Haha. That's cool, though.
It looks like you're making good progress on that spellsword, that comp is really selling it. Getting rid of lines can be a pain in the ass if you don't make them small enough, I've got the same problem too. It just takes time to get used to the process, much like everything else. If I could make a small suggestion, it'd be to take the building out from behind his head, and leave the area open how you have it in the previous WIP, his silhouette stands out way more in the earlier version. More buildings in the background would be nice, though. So try experimenting with some different placement and see how that works. :]
