/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

This is something I'm trying to work on between other projects. Same guy from >>4973065 though this was started before that. Also, delivered that commission, client super happy with the final result, but I still want to re-paint parts to fix a lot of issues.

Anyway, I'm trying to essentially learn by stealing from one of my favorite artists' style, but he paints with actual acrylics on top of pencil sketches, so I'm trying to recreate some of that digitally. I need to learn how to push the lighting more and experiment with brighter, punchier colors.

Also I'm not in love with the pose/composition here, but I'm finishing it anyway because I need finished paintings.
