So much hard work!! Really nice and inspiring man. I gotta say you took the crits to heart! Your linework is getting stronger. The character sketches and the thumbs are awesome, really strong inking and confident at that too. And the hips studies are trough, you don't leave anything to chance, which is great to see :)
Of all the paintings I like the sp the most, really simple and efficient.
I have a sugestion for your paintings/value studies:
Simplify.
I had this issue a lot lately where I find that things come out over-rendered and it kills the consistency of the painting, the best way out I found to kill that tendency is to over-simplify the value structures and the brushwork by painting a hard edged core shadow and blending with soft brush the midtone and the transitions with big brushes and it helps a lot. Leave them simple even if it feels too simple and just focus on one or two areas. The more you do that the more ways you find to convey the form, I hope it helps :P
Sorry for the sloppy crit , but I'm about to fall dead in my bed hehe. By the way, thanks a lot for the feedback on my sb man. I was really blocked and it has helped me a lot! :D
