Hey man all your gesture and stylisation stuff is looking wonderful. Great work on the storyboard.
Have you ever thought about using shape sorting as a way of making style, as in choosing a set of lines and shapes that exist within the style that everything is drawn out of. An example would be drawing stars as fat stars with tapering curves instead of using straight lines.
The other thing that is being a bug bear of your work despite it being so fucking awesome, but you don't paint within the illusion of form. It feels like things don't look solid for you until you refine and that's because your brush strokes are too exploratory.
I like to think of brush work as every stroke needs to be in the illusion of perspective, and instead I am blocking out 3d forms and cutting into that form or adding to, so I'm being exploratory with form instead of brush strokes. Your painting needs to be solid at every stage,.
Does that make sense?

Drawing out of perspective is like singing out of tune. I'll throw a shoe at you if you do it.
