Great dedication man. Keep pushing. Gonna come down hard on the snake piece. It feels rushed. I don't think you gave enough love in the first design phase to justify taking it on further and it shows. I am always boring myself to tears by repeating the same shit in the crit threads, but here it is again. Put the love in, up front. Iron out perspective, volume, form, comp, values in the thumbnail and sketch stage first. Only when you are happy with having solved the problems there, should you go on and render. I understand you are doing these to some deadline I think, but if that's the case, start earlier to get that important phase the time it needs, or don't bother too much about hitting the deadline until you can do the piece justice. This is just about finished illos of course, which I think is what your goal is? In any event keep pushing, but yeah sometimes taking the time is worth the time.
One other thing, never say you suck, to others, to yourself, even in your mind or in jest. Why? Because telling yourself and others this will reinforce this idea in your brain making it more likely that you will suck. It's called a self fulfilling prophecy in psychological terms. You don't suck. You're in development. That's the reality, so call it like it is.
