Hi! Nice linework and I think you are improving when it comes to color and value as you can see it on the dwarf. To be honest, the one without all the glowing effects suits me better. Andrew Loomis said that one source of light gives the best reading of form. I know that the most of fantasy/sci-fi art is full of rimlights, reflections and so on... but to be honest, maybe it's good to fuck that, and do a nice form reading with just one light source and some shadow filling with soft, diffused light reflected from the floor or walls. The dwarf without glow has a nice vibrant color and gives a nice reading. Maybe you could try stepping on to this path for a while?
It's a somewhat solitary existence, a bit like a lighthouse keeper throwing a beam out into the darkness, in faith that this action might help someone unseen.
