Whoooohoooo man! I'm just freaking impressed! I gotta say I love your line control and your faces, really really awesome, that's exactly what I'm trying to achieve right now and I can tell you put your serious hours into doing this stuff you got me pumped to go for it now! :)
The renegade portraits were just great , I particuraly love the way you managed to get the shoulders in the way giving it so muc more depth, awesome ideas man, gotta learn from you.
Overall I also dig the paintings a lot the effects are getting better and better and it's slowly growing into a more organic feeling and out of the clay/plastic.
Now, if I had to give some crits I'd go for just a few things:( mostly personal opinions since you're doing almost everything great man)
I understand you're going for a Blizzard type of style, which is really smart because that can land you a job there in no time, but as for my personal taste I'd love to see you include more variation in the saturation on some areas that would make it look even cooler. Sometimes the stuff falls a bit on being a bit too " all the same" in the picture, maybe also trying to render materials in a more distinct way, that probably would spice up the variation, since the designs and the angles you pick are pretty awesome.
Another issue I see is background interactivity. I feel that your characters get a bit isolated from their background. I understand that most of them are character designs and as such you're not going for a full ilustration with super elaborated backgrounds and shit, but maybe some mist or some simple effects that integrate with the character or interact with them in some way would fix that.
And as a last thing I'd be pretty curious to see what you can hook up as of painting in a more realistic style , the girl with the hood could be a good example of what I think you can get out of it. Painting a few studies in this realistic way would force you to try and sort out what to render in detail and what to omit , simplify or change, and I think it would strenghtend even further your skills.
Overall man, great stuff you got going on, I felt weird giving crits because you're really beyond my level, but maybe it'll be helpfull, looking to see what's next! ;)
