Much of it is boring, some is just unappealing.
You seem to be focusing on training your perspective, which in all of your pieces is your best attribute. However, good perspective doesn't do diddly if you don't train your understanding of composition, color theory, lighting, or organic forms.
"a gathering" is your best piece so far since you actually attempted to explore light/dark contrasts, with an okay color scheme. Even the composition is better than all your other pieces as it kinda leads my eye around. All that said, it's still pretty shit compared to what you need to get noticed.
Practice drawing small thumbnails with basic shapes filling the space instead of explicitly drawing in objects or details. You're eye for composition will benefit from this.
Practice making many fast paintings with strict color schemes, and paint with those colors with a large textured brush utilizing only less saturated (grey toned) versions of your colors in most of the canvas, while reserving the saturated versions for the focal points of the image. Communicate your idea abstractly with your use color, and composition, and only then define it with details.
I scratched out a simplified version of one of your other pieces. While the rendering of detail is not as advanced as in your original, pay attention to how I used less to communicate more. The circular lighting that leads the eye around the character, back to the face, and how I remove distractions from the viewer. This took me 10 minutes, and you should be painting these kind of fast easy color keys to see if your piece is visually appealing when viewed at a glance before you commit to defining any detail in the scene.
