This is some character process with the final turn around. Any advice to help improve my character development, cultural appreciation, general style tips/criticism, and professional portfolio presentation would be appreciated! He's a character inspired from a Chinese folktale.

Hello, I'm Carissa Terra Nacol. I'm a recent graduate from Savannah College of Art and Design. Recently I have moved from illustration to visual development and character work, and am looking for advice to be the professional I can be. I still struggle to know my strengths, and guidance for helping me see them and refine them would be amazing. I enjoy lineart and sketching. I like fantasy inspired by history and nature. Thank you and have a good Lightbox!
