Fun but played out.

your work reminds me alot of shag. it's a really fun style but it would be great to see you figure out a unique way to develop it because it is an extremely common aesthetic right now. heres a link to his website incase you arent already familiar.

it might benefit you to explore using more eccentric color pallets and texture brushes. a solid place to look for color pallets is always the aurora borealis. just pick a random photo then sample colors till you like what you see.

where are you thinking about going with this style, out of curiosity? as they are they feel like newspaper or magazine illustrations. are they commercial at all? just for fun? just curious.

hope this helps. Keep workin!

I love critiques like this because they're unbiased but not rude. I haven't ever heard of Shag, but I try to pull a lot of my style from Shane Glines (ShaneGlines.net).
I checked out Shag and I really see the resemblance now that you mention it.

I do peruse ColourLovers.com for bright palettes often...I should save them to my computer in my refrences folder.

I just do art for fun but I do sell some of my artwork for charity. I want to develop my art style for fun and to sell little commissions here and there but I don't aspire to be a famous commercial artist right now. Thanks so much!
