Hey dude!
These last quick studies are really nice. I like doing those a lot myself, keeping it fresh! I think that they showcase more confident lines. So good job! And you're keeping it real with those awesome values in your traditional sketches :D
I wanted to comment on that giant golem piece from before, but I felt like a douche. You nailed the depth and scale of the guy and it shows that you're getting better at that. You also solved the last critique you got really nice with making him more visible. Plus you handled the bounce light great! I guess one little tool you can use for making things look really big is lowering the horizon and playing with the perspective. By making us look up at him it would further amplify his size.
But the thing I wanted to say is that I think the bent arm is on the verge of breaking the piece, there doesn't seem to be much force behind his swing, nor is it mirrored in his body. The flow of the composition is interrupted. You could probably study MMA fighters or boxers to get that whole-body gesture!
I hope that's useful man, keep kickin' it! :D
