Aaah, always nice to see the amount of work you’re putting in man! Keep it up! Never let news, external circumstances drag you down and keep you from doing art… whatever is happening, even if it’s depressing, just keep pushing… your future you will thank you for it. (But that said, if you need time off - that’s ok too every now and then).
One thing I’ve noticed in your latest update - mind your edges! They tend to be either extremely crisp, or a bit soft - probably depending on what techniques/tools you’re using. Edges (and values) can lead/catch our attention though, so a very crisp edge in a place that’s not an important area in your image might just be a distraction. So maybe soften some of the lasso-crisp edges a bit in areas that aren’t too important (I’m looking at the tree-desert-environment). Same goes for values - put your strongest value contrast where you want us to look - and always check your paintings in black and white to see if they’re still reading :)
Keep it up!
