These are supposed to be the best of the best. The NSMA is run by Michael Klein, one of the big daddies of figurative painting today (so he claims, I don't buy it). What says you?

Is that you, Alex? It's ok, Divya did her best, but that micropenis just has no fix.

this is what you get when you DONT objectify women in your art btw. notice how her tits in that painting are perfectly perky with pink nipples, and they say i focus too much on the tits. what a fucking joke. disgusting, firing squad for whoever the artist is

The dude's head is huge for his body, and one leg is longer than the other. Also, wtf is that composition? Are they being abducted? WTF is he pointing at?

Look like perfectly normal tits to me.
Yours, on the other hand, have weird highlights on them coming from two different directions. I assume she's sleeping in her bedroom in the night (I have to assume because the environment is so vague) Where are those lights coming from?

the composition/background doesn't matter to these "figurative" artists. that's the problem with the movement. the name they have given themselves defines the works. a lot of the times the poses are exactly as you'd find in life drawing sessions. the backgrounds, if there is one, is often painted with a lot less care because they never bothered to learn anything aside from the human figure.
