So, a fratricidal ancient Falmer and a Dragon war criminal are the 2 most pleasant people in Skyrim.

The lightness of his eyes makes contrast with the rest of the other shadows, congrats! :'D

You're getting better with the tablet each time I see you've done a new one - keep it up, because it looks amazing!

I really love how the texture to the skin came out. Very good work with the eyes and colours--great form definition as well. Keep up the good work!

You are getter more amazing each time! I personally prefer just uploaded the penciled version then coloring in that. XD OR line arting the penciled version then coloring it. Either way, a penciled version is always involved

Gelebor!
I love how his piercing blue eyes stand out in the dark.

It seems you used the same (or similar) brush/texture for the skin and the hair. I recommend trying to keep the textures for each different surface different if you're trying to get some texture in your paintings. The brush you used works for the hair, but I recommend keeping the skin a bit smoother.
(I also still see a few black lines. A bit around the nose. and that line between the nose and mouth).

Oh. and I challenge you to not cover your character in darkness with your next painting.
If you do, then I challenge you to use reflective light or another light source.
I know it's difficult. But that way you are forced to figure out how to give shape to the entire character. Which will help you improve.

Also, I hope I don't give you the impression that I don't like these paintings. Or give you the impression that you're not doing it right or something. (I'm still learning myself...) I do like them. Just trying to help you improve, because you want to improve. So uh,.. if I'm criticizing too much, let me know. I'll shut up. It's just. No one else has the guts to criticize. So the heavy task falls on me. *don't hate me* I DO IT BECAUSE I LUFF YOU!
I just hope you find my pathetic attempt at advice at least somewhat useful. xD;

Ahem. I was really meaning to say that he has a life-like expression.

I'm definitely liking the new style you're going with. It adds to a certain element of emotion in it, very nicely done.

That's a very nice piece of artwork you've got there. And what a coincidence; not two hours ago was I meeting Gelebor for the second time, on another character of mine.
