OK, I understand what you mean by 'establishing shot.' This may work better in a series of illustrations (as in a story book) rather than standalone, in my opinion.
Interesting parallel you make between exaggeration in animation and effects. Looking at the chronological evolution of what you posted I noticed something: Initially you seem to oscillate between two points: Elastic cartoon (caricatures, capibara squad) and a more rigid realism (dangerous ladies), and progressively you have been merging the two, finding a happy midpoint, I like the direction.
About your latest WIP, one thing that I think weakens the action is the fact that the harpoon seems to miss the guy by too far. Also you might want to resize the canvas to show the whole curve of the rope. I look forward to see where you are going to bring this piece to!
Regarding your saying that you sometimes lack motivation and have trouble pushing works from imagination, maybe you need to assess what your goal is: Are you looking at a career in illustration, animation, comics, concept art?
