Stuff looks striking and energetic, but that goes without saying, LOL. You're definitely succeeding at making stuff that reads well even when only semi-rendered.
It sounds like it would be best for you to not invest too much energy in social media right now unless you urgently need to start making money from art. Just dump whatever you make out there, make sure it has the appropriate tags so that people see it, respond to human comments if you get them, and forget about it. I think your stuff is good enough to eventually get attention by itself, but I'm not a social media guru, obviously.
As for why I haven't been updating much, the truth is that I'm extremely lazy and have very low standards for both my work and other people's work. So whenever someone gives me a good crit, I feel bad for possibly wasting their time since there's a roughly 50/50 chance that I will actually apply it. I'm not gonna become a masterful professional artist any time soon, LOL.
OK, I hope I can help you out. I rushed these paintovers and I'm obviously not a master artist, so let me know if this is completely unhelpful, LOL.
First of all, I really like "gloomyvisage.png". Really nice read and atmosphere. Scythe looks great. Love the background. The only thing that jumped at me is that the ellipse of the jean shorts' hem on her nearer leg doesn't look quite right. Since her nearer leg is dipping away from us a bit, I thought the ellipse should be convex in the opposite direction.
Next is "kilclean.png". Looks and reads well to me except for her farther leg, which I thought needed thicker quads to be more consistent with her nearer leg. I also continued the curve of her quads farther back toward the body, because I think that's how it normally looks in this kind of view. That said, I made a wild guess as to where her pelvis is, so I might've bungled it. You be the judge.

I just made it because people keep hammering me about it and now that I can manage color better I think is a better time to start getting more out there but I still need to work on so much not sure about anything anymore. I need to keep reminding myself of what matters and don't get sidetracked, repeat mistakes from the past.
What have you been up to? You also haven't been updating much.
