help!

OK so suggestions, tips, advice!!!! VERY WELCOME!!!

its just a submission for "waking the giants-Ringling 100". originally it was going to be for both that and a KIDROBOT art show-hence the kidrobot in the center but then i couldn't pay to get it framed and that's required in order to submit so I'm not submitting...

Anyway, here's what I'm having trouble with: the transition from sky to floor. Eventually the floor will look wood-ish. i was thinking having some kinda of cloudy sky or something but then how does the floor play in? I just don't know where to take it from here and i don't know what to do with the sky.

I've been told maybe a silhouetted city behind the robot but also maybe that's too complicated and to keep it simple.

Again...suggestions, tips, advice!!!! VERY WELCOME!!!

Thanks!

Geisha Girl

Another piece I am still currently working on, done with the figure but I am very unhappy with the shadow and also plan to add in some kind of out of focus background, if anyone has any ideas or crits feel free to comment!

This is a color study for a personal project, I am going to change some of the line weight but other than that any help or advice, suggections would be awesome! Thanks guys

Landscape pastel

Landscape done in chalk pastels. I took a photo of it, so i could make corrections as needed. Any suggestions? Im also wondering what people's thoughts are on the composition. I'm trying new things out.

This is a photo of the piece, not a scan. But I figure you can get the gist of it.

this was an open assignment for advance computer ill. i think i could work on the rocks a little more though. now that i look at them they look rushed or not very clear.

Ill&Wip

Here's something I'm working on just for fun, no where near finish yet.and..
This is my most recent finished illustration. Yes, the pink outline is kind of iffy. The person is a man, in a long mourning jacket. I figured the top hat and the time period would make it so that the long hair isn't too confusing gender-wise.

:edit:
very helpful crits so far, thanks :)
