Lunatique: Great job with the paintover, looks much more believable now! I incorporated the updated lighting on the image, hopefully it's OK now.
Regarding your general comments on my work, I agree with everything you said 100%. I do sometime struggle with lighting at times although I do think I've improved a bit on that aspect... but I will take it a step further. I love the suggestions of doing studies from film stills, I think that would be a ton of fun to tackle and already have some ideas of the movies I can tackle!
Regarding my figure work, the style I generally aim for is 'stylized realism', with a bit more realism emphasized than a stylistic look. I agree that I should study references more in that regard, specifically of the surface materials as you mentioned.
I've watched your progress as well and have been impressed with your work from the very beginning. I know you're trying to achieve a more traditional look with your digital portraits and I feel you've succeeded immensely in that regard. Thank you kindly for your feedback and suggestions as well, very constructive and I'm very grateful, means a lot coming from you!
one_two: Thank you! I'm going for stylized realism, still experimenting with my style. I do feel there's room for improvement as Lunatique pointed out, especially in regards to obtaining a better understanding of lighting which I will follow. Thanks again for your support!

I did some updates on the Jade image based on 'Lunaitque's' awesome paintover and I feel it's a strong improvement. I think I'll consider it done for now unless something really major is off, so please let me know!
Next I finished work on the new image, I think it's definitely one of my strongest pieces. I'd love to hear any feedback on this image so if something feels off feel free to let me know! Below is the current preview followed by some steps for those interested!
