Interesting stuff. It reminds me a lot about the kind of artworks people would make when I vent to art school back in the days.

One thing that could benefit you is probably to go back and take some time to study the essential fundamentals such as anatomy, how clothing/folds work and color theory. Im sorry for giving such a generic advice, but I can tell that a lot of your stuff would benefit from more basic knowledge. For example, that painting of the two saints would look a lot better with more thought put into the folds of the fabric.

Good luck and keep posting!

It's definitely great advice and thank you for it. This might sound weird but just about everything I make is a study. A lot of times, I'll make a portrait to practice faces. Then a few weeks/months/years I'll be messing with colors or patterns and I just paint over it. How do they do it in art schools? I have a few sketch books where I just draw certain things that I find I struggle with(hands, metallic objects, stuff with fur etc) and try to fill them up as much as possible, but I feel like the progress isn't like what I see people do online.
