Hey Smruftureurette!
Glad to hear that your hand is walking the path of recovery! You're still improving fast and steady, I think it's most visible in your brushwork and forms. Really like that old guy in green with a big sword. Nice character to him and I can imagine some oriental post-apocalyptic setting!
I can totally sympathize with issues of balance of study and imaginative work. Can't say that I've come to any conclussion yet. But I think it's important to do what you feel is right and never worry about the things that you are not doing. I've learned the most while struggling through pieces. A lot of problems stem from the ego wanting to be as good as it can get in the exact moment it thinks of it's goals! Just sow all the seeds you can and they will bear fruit in the future.
Keep kicking butt as usual :D
