I'm out of Smerit else, i could have merited you write away and that would be because of your willingness to discuss the technique behind your success in painting. It would go a long way in inspiring and helping other artists on the forum to be of the same level as you are even if that in itself is nearly impossible.
It shows that your a fare play in competition which makes you above competition in a lot of ways. I like that and ill recommend some merits for this attitude towards teaching others.

Your arts have always carried a touch of perfection about it but then, you need to see a way to not making it just a virtual thing only. The actual physical aspects of it as, portraits are made to be displayed and a digital nature somehow overrides that for those with inadequate resource.
