What are the best online concept art courses that people have done thar have really improved their art work? I'm aware that practice makes perfect and improvement but I feel like I miss a lot of basics when I draw. Thanks in advance

Just a random idea I had so I drew it on my live stream yesterday. Took some inspiration from Hades II with how Melinoe has one arm that looks like a ghost. I’m quite lazy when it comes to coloring and shading. I think the cauldron looks okay but the rest of the character looks a bit dry in my opinion. What do you guys think?

I really want to work as a splash artist(extremely rendered pieces for games mostly), but I definitely need to improve and my parents want me to go to college no matter what... And I was wondering if anyone has any resources, artists, or college/external sources that have programs geared towards it? I know it's decently niche(in comparison, that's why I asked here instead)but it's been my dream since I was in middle school. (I'm still in hs though.)

Ex: Aaron min on yt made a two part decently lengthy walk through on how he rendered his kayn piece and gave general tips on how he rendered, made his compisition etc...

Open question to anyone in the industry of concept art or character design! I have a lot of art featuring original characters that I've made for pre-existing franchises. Is that a turn-off in terms of getting hired? I did create and design the characters myself, and I've made solid references and concepts, but I don't know how acceptable it is to put up a portfolio piece and say "Here's my Resident Evil OC." Is it too juvenile? Or is it still considered good creative work? Any advice is appreciated, thank you in advance!

Hello, I'm a young game director making my first professional game, and I'd like to get advice from people as talented as you guys: what are the best tips you can give me for providing a good reference document/brief to a concept artist so that he clearly understands the vision of a project? What are the things to avoid?
