@darktiste - Yeah, so that is the initial plan on that front. Once I'm done with getting all my stuff organized and set in place hopefully it will help speed up the process when I do start to studying art fundamentals in a more rigorous manner.
@Leo Ki - Hey, thanks. Yeah, there are times I struggle with rendering stuff quite a bit, as to where exactly the shadows should be, the rim lighting, cast shadows, ect., especially on faces. Though perhaps that can be chalked up to not having gone through the fundamentals as of yet.
@cgmythology - Hi, thank you very much! You can definitely expect to see more of it down the line!

So I've gone back over some previous pieces I never finished. The thing coming from the tall grass piece, i wasn't quite sure what was off with it and decided to make a new group of layers and do a rough paint over of it, just trying stuff out. After doing that it looked a ton better (to me at least, lol)! What I did was pretty much just exaggerate the lighting, making the dark areas darker and light areas brighter. Though it was just a rough paint over, so my plan is to just polish it up and fix up a few areas and call that piece done afterwards.
Also I made a few line art pieces, trying to experiment a bit with this one. I used a different brush for the line work on each character, and rendered them each in a different way too. The color kinda distracts from the line art, so I made 1 with and 1 without color.
Oh, and also the lizard creature piece is still a WIP...
