Some painting for my Personal Project Book Dragons - Feedback very Welcome

I'm loving these illustrations! I do feel you could make more of a gradation in the cave mouth. It kind-of looks like the dragon has a heavenly halo rather than back lit. Also, the moon seems a little too close to the edges of the image. And, though I don't know that it matters, would not be that shape unless there was a solar eclipse. I suggest making it smaller, tweaking it's shape, and moving it away from the edges more. All in all it is beautiful rendering. I love the style!

@Joy-Heyer Thanks Joy. Been working on that illustration for a bit. Especially the gradation :). Thank you for the critique

Here is another image I've been working on. Was planning on leaving the background white/no background. Anyway here it is.

These are all wonderful! I particularly like the last one and the one with the mermaid. This book is going to be awesome, are you going to query with it or self-publish?

[kai satoshi]

@smceccarelli Thank you so much! I'd love to find a publisher that would be interested, unfortunately I don't have an agent, and I know it is pretty difficult to get your foot in the door so I'm thinking of self publishing on Amazon.

@kai-satoshi I love the colors and mood. I'd move him up on the roof edge a little, he doesn t look natural that far back and looks like he's about to slide off backwards off the roof.
