I replied back to Danny through PM since he contacted me there with roughly the same, anyways, thank you all for the thought. I have been told about the same to make social media stuff, start posting, but I'm not looking to promote myself yet, I haven't made any money, but I would like to eventually, I just want to focus on practicing ajd iron out my issues for the time being although I keep pushing the goalpost lol. I do have a checklist (in my head) about the things I want to improve at, about my workflow and results, and what I've been looking for is places to just discuss stuff, ideas, or talk about what works what doesn't on things I do, like if it's understood or if it would be more interesting this way or another. Mainly the stuff that used to be done in ConcepArt back many years ago? To a point I guess since I used it very briefly at the time. But yeah, that stuff. To my understanding there's not many places like that anymore? Unless you pay someone for tutorship or mentorship or enroll in courses, so maybe I should consider that.
Contest have been on my head recently but I'm not sure where to look for them I guess they all get posted on social media sites nowadays. I guess that would be a good way to force someone to break down a piece but contest are more about the judge, a judge can hate or love what you did but that does not make it "succesful" to others, necessarily, getting a prize tho that is fun ha ha.
Anyways, this is turning into a blogpost, I'm open to try anything honestly since until you try you don't really know if it will make a difference in what you do or not. So I'll keep checking on next steps to take while I keep drawing I guess.
I also think because up to 3 people now have told me things along this lines with issues with the forum and their users you may want to open an inquiry or post or something and talk this out openly because it feels like it's festering and it's a bit saddening to see people steer away or siphon out users, or warn newcomers to steer away from here, when this is one of the last places that use the old format of posting sketchbooks and discussing art and shit ha ha, but I guess dinosaurs they all died our or evolved so maybe is the way of things. Out with the old, in with the new.

Many thanks man! Yup bat pose is stiff although the hands I'm cool, I would like to change the torso. Mostly the bat one my biggest concern and I've been joking about it is that is "Dwarfman!" ha ha. I wanted to make him stocky but turned out wonky. But yeah, change the pose would work fine.
Girl in space nap, nice catch with the tangents on some, I never pay attention to those and the can-book and book-knee I should fix asap. I like the change in the lighting but is now a different light set up more in the dark like suggested by Mochiman I believe, it would work but I wanted a "sun rising" in space sort of feel, although the sun does not rise in space ha ha, it's always there. Fun thoughts. Anyways secondary purple light is a really good thought, I'm weary it might be too much colors now tho, like some of you have been hammering me to not overdo colors ha ha, keep palettes constrained, and that is what I'm doing lol, but I could really push the bounces of the green screens in many places and I should do just that.
I came mostly to reply to the issues and thank for feedback so I don't have anything yet, I'll leave a preview of the guns I'm working at, showing a bit the construction on the bottom one. Mostly I need to figure out how to make them quicker, I take too long.
