Hey Dzeljka! Your work is beautiful, it shows you're at a high level of understanding. For me what could be improved in your work is the contrast between soft and hard edges. I can see the love and care you put into each brushstroke, I would just like to see a little more sharpness around your focal points.

You could play around with smart sharpen 20-40% / 4px radius / remove gaussian blur, then mask it in where you want the viewer to look. You could also achieve this with a high pass on a blending mode. Hope you find this useful, I look forward to seeing more of your work!

that contrast between hard and soft edges is definitely something i have to work on more. and wow what a difference it makes, specifically on the horse, rly stepping it up by another level
thank you so much, will be trying that method out!  ;D

Your characters creates epic tales on my mind. Your work is neat!
