In contrast to the last critique, I actually like the "painter-ly" idea more. Even though it's not clean, it doesn't look like it needs to be. It gives off that nice traditional feel, which makes it really stick out compared to what I normally see on the front page. That and your use of colours are among my favorites in this.
However, the art style and facial features are somewhat unoriginal. I see stuff like this all the time. A humanoid figure from the waist up, looking forward, "perfect" features, you know the rest. I'm not saying "hey, stop what you're doing" or "this makes you less of a good artist" because obviously, you're a rocking artist and I'm pretty sure you know that but what I am saying here is that it's always nice to break out of these perfect-faced people and experiment with people who have different features.
From what I can see in your gallery, composition in general is not your problem. You don't need to be worrying about that. Your choices in colouring is great. Diverse and aesthetically pleasing to me as a viewer. You also seem to have a good understanding in structure and human anatomy in a lot of your pictures. You're pretty much good here, though I would love to see some facial experimentation. Keep in mind, the more you can do, the better you are so always find new things to conquer!
Critique by ~TheBoyIAm "The idea of the picture seems interesting, but I don't like the way it is painted. It should be more clear up. I think that if you had spend some extra hours working on that painting it could become pretty awesome, it just need more specific details which will make it looks more real, more perfect."
-> "It should be more clear up." -> "it just need more specific details which will make it looks more real, more perfect."
DO NOT, i repeat, DO NOT ever listen to critiques/suggestion like this.
As far style goes, it's the matter of taste. He might not like it, I LOVE IT. It's like you would be using palette knife (i don't have an idea how you achieve that with Photoshop). It doesn't need to be "more clean up". It is more than obvious what it present. You don't need to "spend some extra hours" and it doesn't need "more specific details". Painting is finished when artist feels like he don't want to overdone it. Pictures with brush and pallete knife strokes have tons more filings than overfinished photo-realistic paintings where you don't know if it's painting or photography.
However, everything is the matter of taste. Some people don't see painting finished if there is no "details". And they usually like paintings with tons of details even if painting doesn't have feelings, story, good composition, color contrast,..
No one can tell you what you should do and how. Your art is great, just because you do it in your way.
