you're getting better.
except for the second one, they all look fine. Always keep in mind your color palette and adjustments. The first one looks a bit to messy (lens flar, some parts too sharp/contrasted etc). i like your current one the most, it's so crisp and sharp. However, you should be careful with b/w pieces. never use b/w as crutches if you're struggling with colors. a black and white piece has to be designed around it
.
you can start reading about some more advanced techniques (complex manips, smudging, composition etc), but you're doing pretty good. If you want some good advice, try avoiding repeating the same things and steps over and over again. by trying weird or different things, you will have a higher chance of failing, but you will learn more if you are out of your comfort zone.
Awesome critisiscm, and I totally agree.
Will do my best to improve for further tags
