Great progress, man! I really like that portrait right above the still life. Getting some crazy Craig Mullins vibes from it. The still lives are really helping your light/form, as they should be, and it's really showing through in the skull piece you've been working on!
As a small critique on the skull piece, you should definitely consider sharpening some of the edges. Seeing that it's the main focus point, it'd really help to carve out those sharper features, and you've already got a lot of lovely soft/lost edges.
Consider losing the foreground elements with the people as well, and instead put some figures at the bass of the skull, inspecting/exploring it's structure. The skull and environment itself is good enough to have on its own. If you'd really like to keep the foreground elements, there'd be some work to be done so they don't interfere with the scale you're going for. You have people that are aiding the size of the skull, but then there are all these trees that are placed in a way that contradict, shrinking it in an awkward way. Just play around with some of these things and see how it looks.
Got a little carried away on the crit of that, but the skull is gorgeous. Hope that helps in some way, and I can't wait to see an update! :D
