Sensei, you're getting too old.

Kirikae, i like your figures and your line quality become noticably better over time. Your values are also pretty good, i like those b&w scenes a lot.
- What i noticed is that you've done a couple of cool studies (like that ornate helmet), but i don't see any works from imagination where you applied that. So i recommend doing more focused studies - notice what areas are the weakest in your works from imagination, do specific studies targeting them and then do another sketch from imagination to apply what you've just learned - this way you'll get better 2 times faster, absolutely guaranteed.
- On your picture with a muscular lion dude you've used too much soft brush - the forms of the various muscles and bone protrusions are pretty vague. They'll look much more interesting if you'll use a contrast between softer edges and hard edges. For example, Anthony Jones does a pretty good job using this:

- Your animals are not bad, i don't see any significant mistakes, however you'll definitely benefit if you'll start using more 3d forms - Peter Han lectures are absolutely the best source for learning this imho. Look him up at cgpeers (also holy shit, just noticed that someone uploaded his Dynamic Bible there! Downloading and preparing to get comfy with it and some hot fruit tea :3 ).
