So, with caricature there is a fine line between funny/exaggerated and uncanny valley, yours are good i'd say, but you want people to know its actually a caricature. So a good thing to do is get that head and draw very simple shapes to find a base for exaggeration that really feels like the subject. Then add in the features to get ultimately the likeness. I left a few examples of like pushing a feature. Like this guy seems to have a huge jaw and a huge forehead. So its good to pick one and push it far, but maintain the distance in a smaller state, its weird..
keep up the great work, my constantly postin brethren lol
@Fedodika: Wow, thanks for your critique the link for the book and the overpaint! I didn´t know the book yet! Caricature has always intrigued me, but I´ve never done one before, so any advise is helpful and welcome. I had a feeling, I did exaggerate too little...
Last demon illustration for the second batch of demons. This one´s a traveller of dimensions, capable of opening gates to other worlds, even if you don´t want to after summoning him....

i find the composition to be abit to forced i don't know if that a good thing or a bad thing.
The tree as something odd about it really small compare to the figure.
@darktiste: Might be a bit small, but it should only be a symbol of the tree where Arachne tried to hang herself. In the end the only thing that matters is, that the client likes it
