Your paintings have a really green tint in them, man; make sure you are reaaallly looking at your studies from observation. If you're using a digital reference, you may want to color pick every so often to guide your eye.
Try to be a bit more consistent and DELIBERATE with what you study: you are jumping back and forth from one-off illustrations that have no resemblance to your past studies to skewed and exaggerated renditions of figures and portraits before your concept of anatomy is at a more competent level.
A caricature is nothing but a "parody" (if you will) of realistic, LIFE-like figures. If you can't properly execute a drawing of the human figure, portrait, or character/sentiment to a CONVINCING degree, don't expect your caricatures to be appealing either.
And if you cannot see these flaws, I recommend you train your eye, train your eye, train. your. eye. That means tons of still lifes, drawing from photos...copy shit and lots of it.
Then, I would advise you do a basic review of your anatomy, value/light, color, perspective; build a strong foundation before you place a large percentage of your focus on ambitious endeavors, such as illustrations and concept design. Look at the industry's standards at its various tiers and let that guide you.
I love how much you are working; you are one of the only dudes on here that updates in large quantity on a consistent basis and you churn out a lot of work with each update, bro. You are DEFINITELY gaining mileage...just remember that there is such a thing as a wrong and right way to study, that is, if you're serious about making this into a career. We are all a slave to our habits, so why not make GOOD habits? Your ideas are dope and you definitely bring something fresh to this: I've told you the ones I liked on fb and that shit is sincere :)
