You really do need to add a clearer light source, it helps your illustration immensely.
I painted over your latest version
I added some red on the girl and the dragon and the background.
I made the foreground a little colder by adding blue, to set off the dragon.
fixed a small perspective issue on the farthest horn.
Added an reptile eye to the dragon
Put his botton jaw back a little, so the teeth can cross over.
Gave the girl a little more hair on top and shortened her forehead
Added some orange/ red on the girl (avoid greys and blues, it draws the life out of people)
Gave the girl a bit of rim light to set her off against the background.
Hope that helps :-)
Try to avoid using too much black in a colored illustration. Especially on people
I was thinking of adding purple instead of blue (I been using blue a lot lately).
