indeedsir_backup | Some art and a question

First, I was asked again to re-upload my period music fanmix. Before I decide whether to do that, I'd like to get an idea of how many of you missed it the first time around or lost it or whatever and would like me to put it up again. Please let me know if you're interested. I'm not totally sure I want to go to the trouble if there's only maybe a couple of people.

Now for the art.

Maybe it's just me, but I felt like my pictures were often a little too stiff (not the good kind) and didn't have enough fluidity. So I decided to stop using references unless absolutely necessary and go ahead & take some artistic liberties. It's been much more fun this way :D. Is it noticeable at all?

This last one's an older picture that's been sitting around in one of my sketchpads for a while (the first two are new).
It's based off of this photo.
