Agree with cat, the colour studies are nice!
In the linework though, you "chicken-scratch" a lot, try visualising where you want to put the line, then drawing it in a single sweeping stroke. I also recommend practising that with traditional, especially in ink. Cleaner lines would instantly make those gestures look much more fluid!
I also can't help but agree with cat about the "failure" thing, even if it is in jest - it's still the first word you see every time you post in your sketchbook. Failure is a strong negative word, mistakes do not equal failure. Things like that do rub off on your subconscious, and this is probably not the message you want to send yourself if you already say that you were too disappointed in your own work to share it in a forum until now.
Anyway, welcome to the Daggers, which rest assured, despite looking a little blood-spattered, is quite a friendly corner of the web to hang out in! :)
