Since you gave me a critique, I wanted to offer a critique on one of your pictures. (Though the feature's not up, I'll just wing it).
I think this turned out quite well, this definitely has some strengths going for it. The lineart is crisp and really clean-cut, I think it's skillful how well you transferred it from the traditional version--something I struggle with myself. And with the lineart, the trees in particular look effectively twisted and spooky. The dark, brooding colors match the theme of Halloween, and of course the elf girl is very thoroughly fleshed out and proportioned in my opinion
As for critique, well, the commenter before me nailed a really good point. The background ends too suddenly and therefore feels artificial. Outside of that, another thing to work on would be the lighting, as it doesn't feel like there's an apparent light source. The mushroom, ground and trees seem too evenly lit. And finally, the pumpkin looks way too dark to have an electric blue glow on it; and especially since pumpkins are a big icon of Halloween, I think you should've made some real orange visible.
But overall I think this is a job well done

Thanks much for your feedback! I really appreciate it. I often cop out on backgrounds, it's something I really need to push myself to work on. I originally intended for the pumpkin to be orange, but the orange didn't fit with the rest of the colors - it stuck out in a weird way. So I went with black which may or may not have been any better haha.

Nicely done but I have a bit of criticism, you should of filled out the background a bit more, seeing a flat horizon in a scene like this draws away from the picture, maybe you should of added more trees in the distance or a spooky cabin/house, just my two cents, great though!

Thanks! I agree that the background ended up looking really empty. I tried to add some fog but it wasn't cooperating. Something for me to work on next time!
