Woohoo yes, levelling up definitely happens so much faster when you do finished stuff! I was the same way, too afraid to finish things for a long time :/
Just a late crit for the dragon piece: try to keep in mind a very distinct lighting scenario when setting up the lighting. For instance, I'm not exactly sure if it's supposed to be bleak (because of the grays and greens) or hopeful/heroic (golden light coming in from behind), because both of the main light sources seem to be on equal footing here. If they were backlit, you would probably see some more contrast and also some stronger rimlights on the figures and you could do all kinds of fun stuff with the light saturating them and stuff like that if heroic was your goal :)
