[Punk Munkk]

Love the speed paintings...especially the the orange/red working in progress one...the silhouette of the ship in the sky works well with the composition and light of the whole painting. Keep it up

Nice quickies! Good use of colours and values there. I like the balance
Keep it up!

A thought on the first image (Skull Dude).

Take a look at the angle the sword blade is being held at versus the angle of the cut on his victim. If he had just cut the bloke, the cutting edge of the blade would now be facing away from the viewer. At the moment he is holding it quite statically (if that makes sense.)

Other thing, try flipping it horizontally too. So the left to right read starts with the victim, then the eye is drawn by the cut, to the sword arm and across to the skull dude himself.

im not sure about the proportion of the face but serious help is needed please Thanks!

[witcrack]

her head is a bit off to me, yes. I think it's because her top of her head is too high, makes her face looks small in comparison with her whole head. you use ref image? I think you should Nice colour, btw

Keep it up!
