You have really amazing skills for rendering and color... I think that if you would go back to fundamentals, you could get far as fuck. Few things are failing in this one, but indeed it looks really good, congratulations =)
If you are interested in getting better and study with other professional artists, let me know and we will connect.
thanks man! =D Yea we could totally connect. I just started my 3rd year of self study and I continually practice all my fundamentals. From muscle structure to bone to light and color and perspective... so much more to learn! So little time.
