Awesome stuff! I like the clear focus you have in your studies and as well as defining your shapes. One suggestion would be to focus on rendering and brushwork in a way that resembles a favorite painter of yours. Like do some master studies concentrating on their brushwork/rendering to see how you can apply that to your own work. This is something that I've been trying to implement myself into my own work, definitely helps me take my pieces to that next level of finish.

Anyways, nice work can't wait to see more!

As a concept artist my vision of what is the ideal balance of rendering is still always in question as the intent is to communicate the material more than it is about make it picture perfect.In term of master to study from i don't have a clear vision as to who i could take away from since it not something i have much experience on as a concept artist it really bothering me do copy 1 to 1 ratio copy as i really have trouble getting over the idea that i am not creating my own image even if i do understand the intent of learning by observation.I certainly use reference but ain't master study more of the realm of illustration?If i have to study master i know it shouldn't be restrain to only concept artist but it seem more productive to try to emulate what other sucessful concept artist are doing but concept art is hard to study from because most of the professional work you seeon other art platform such as artstation is what is refer as to portfolio quality and doesn't reflect the level necessary to communicate idea it more polish than i suspect is necessary.Also a problem that i observe when trying to study concept artist is that you have little to no access to what is the industry standard because it kept away from the viewer and art book on concept art are also decieving.So when it come time to determine what is acceptable rendering level for industry standard you can only set the bar higher than necessary since i am not even a professional concept artist yet.

In term of brush work right now i am facing carpal syndrome so i try to work in a manner that work around the issue ultimately it my fault that i experience this problem as it found it source in a excessive use of the computer aswell as other change i need to get out of the way before this can be improve that i won't open up in here.

Thank for the awesome kind word i am still unsure as to who i could look in term of master concept artist.But i certainly try to draw from industry professional as much as possible.I would certainly gain more from doing more life drawing study i just don't have the space and equipment to do so as of now.
