I won't lie, I had to focus on the picture to realize this wasn't Ellery! I really thought this picture was from Ellery's which is weird since you both have different art styles, but I think it's due to the lighting in this one. Good job Joe, I think you've improved at a much faster rate than I would think, consider trying to do like Ellery did and adjust some contrast to your pictures. I believe you use Paint Tool Sai, so if you do try Contrasting and Color Deepening your pics just a little bit...
