Hey Igor, I think you render very well, some of your stuff almost looks 3D, it's cool!
In my opinion what you should focus on is composition and thinking about what you are showing in your images, like what does the viewer see when he/she opens it up? The orc painting for example, it looks nice, but it strikes me as awkward how he's kneeling on the ground rather than standing up in a powerful pose. He's large and powerful, so his pose should reflect that. The sci-fi image as well, it's very well rendered, but the poses of the two soldiers with helmets are a bit awkward, the one to the right especially, why is he looking up? Why is he holding the gun like that?
So try to make very rough sketches, make the sketch look cool first, make the poses make sense and only then render it out :-) No matter how well you do the light and render the shapes, the image will never be fantastic unless the underlying idea and composition were strong to begin with!
Other than that I think you should also work on anatomy, the bodies of the two women in the orc piece especially stand out as problem areas.
To sum it up; you render very well, focus your efforts on composition, poses and anatomy :-D
