Yay!
Look, I may have useful feedback for once!
Lovely compositions on both the duels you posted. (Duels? Battles? Ass-kicking?) The guy with the glowing sword has a little more dynamic scene though, and I think I know why.
On the scene where the demon is spreading wings, you sort of balanced the composition, and I don't think it was intentional. The three main spiky rocks have the same size and are evenly spaced - if you break that pattern it will add more movement to the scene.
That being said, you still have two strong verticals on each paintings, the main character in each one. They are also acting as stabilizing agents. I don't know how much dynamism you want in each scene, but if you want more, this can help you.
And great work man!
Also, love the poisoner portrait, and another tip: dark yellow will most often than not read as green. You may want to vary up that green and work pretty close to yellow on the spectrum, it will give a more natural feel :) Remember, the key to painting skin is the actual color variation.
