Hey, really great work in the more recent pages. Those anatomy studies are looking better and better with every post. It's definitely showing through in your work as well.
I was reading your post in regard to getting better, and it's definitely important to remember that while it's perfectly healthy to be critical of ourselves, especially when we do not have those around us who are readily available to be critical for us, that it is important to find the joy in all of this. The hunger and thirst for more should always be there, just as long as it is not becoming detrimental to progress.
Anyways, as far as critique is concerned, try to focus more on your color/value separation. At the moment things are just a little muddy. As a good example, the girl with the axe on the last page has some really clean and clear separation of these elements. It's really clean, and has a good read. As opposed to the guy on the boar, he currently has a lot of muddied colors and values that don't translate very well at the moment.
Hope this is of some use, man. I'll be looking forward to the next update. :]
