If I had to comment on something it would be in some of the images, like for example the one with the Egyptian dude. The background can be pushed back a bit more with the help of atmospheric perspective, do some environment studies and think about what happens to the colors and values of stuff when they recede into the distance. If you paint everything the same way, with the same values and saturation etc. if quickly becomes flat. Usually you can exaggerate atmospheric perspective quite a bit without making it stand out as unreal, this is very useful to get some feeling of depth.
Anyway I hope to see more work from you soon!
Thanks Alexson,
I agree I have to work more on backgrounds. I know the general theory of the receding planes, but I fail to apply it and too often I neglect to work enough on the background. For example, the image with Seth (the Egyptian dude I suppose, but also for Ra is the same :-) ) has a very boring background indeed, that damages the composition too, I think I will repaint those since is not a big effort and I could learn something. And I will hear your suggestion and do some atmospheric studies! :-)
