Hi Aaron, welcome! Wow, these are great paintings! I feel a certain kinship since I also taught myself to paint. I think the term "self-taught" is sometimes misunderstood because people take it to mean you have lived in an ivory tower and learned to paint somehow without ever absorbing information from other artists. But in fact, as you pointed out, it is quite the opposite.
I noticed that you are a concept artist for a computer gaming company (did I get that right?) and this interests me because my son has been talking about entering the world of computer game design in some capacity. He is quite a good artist and also enjoys composing music, so I'm not sure which direction he will go, but he's always pointing out the amazingly realistic animation (complete with 3-d moving light and shadows and reflections, etc., and I have to say it is intriguing, and quite an advance from the visuals from the games of 10 years ago.
That is great that you have organized life drawing sessions. It is clear that you are not content to sit still.
