Looks good, I like how it turned out actually. Could be a little more finished but I like how you've got the lighting on the far character with the sun reflecting from the front and the cool light from behind. Especially the far boot reads really nice. If I could offer one critique It would just be that it looks like technique wise you have some kind of soft smudge/blur brush you use, which I would cut back on. It kind of mushes stuff together in a very digital way, it's not ugly but it's not creating great edges either. idk how to describe it. Just what I'm honing in on rn.
I don't really see anything wrong with what you're doing in terms of career. I mean, I'm not an expert on board game art, if that's what you're kind of going toward. but nowadays board game art is very illustration heavy. You've got the actual game pieces/cards, and then also box art, manual, promotional art etc. Most of the work you've done so far seems fairly appropriate for some kind of work like that. It may not be in that specific format, but the skills shown are relevant.
Because of that, it's probably not a bad thing to have a more general focus on your painting skills right now.
