I'm not very good at criticism, but I hope my opinion will work sufficiently as one. I'm not good at backgrounds at all, so what I say is just as a viewer and not from experience--Your links said the page couldn't be found, so I can't ref those in my response ;w;

I think first it might be hard to tell what needs improved upon because they're very sketch-like, whereas in finalized forms it would be easier to see. But for where they are now I really like atmosphere that they are building. These are something you could definitely take into final pieces. I think the general placement of figures, shapes, and lighting looks really good. 

For the first one, it looks kind of difficult to see what place that might be. However, if your intention was just some corridor-type situation, then it looks great. The vanishing point looks pretty well established so it gives an accurate perspective. I think it feels very mysterious and looking at it makes me wonder what this guy was doing and where he's going, so the story telling aspect of that one is pretty cool. Even if that wasn't what you meant for it. I like the sort of "fragments" (I guess that what I would call them) that are on the ground around him. I don't know if it matters, but I can't really tell what purpose they have. But looking at them makes me feel like I'm looking at a visual representation of the figure's thoughts.

I enjoy the second one a lot. It's a very homey vibe and captures a good moment of peace. I like the paper crafts in the window because it gives me a sense of who lives there, as well as the plant and cat. But including things like that gives me a feel for the personality of someone that we don't even see and that's cool to me. 

For the third one, I really like the window. I think that's the main thing you probably wanted it to be about. And the fragment style looks really good on it. For me though, I think the inside of the house is too fragmented and it was hard to differentiate the parts at first. I think the environment is great though and that if you took it into further development, it would be fine. 

Sorry if I don't make sense. I just saw no one commented and hoped I could help? Maybe? Good work though! Makes me feel like experimenting myself lol
