Hi Rainwater. Really digging your drawings. In terms of your latest rendered piece, I agree that a lot of the issues lie within the values. Convert to greyscale and zoom out... you'll see the only thing that it readable is the sun (?) and dragons form. Nearly everything in the midground is too similar in value. You also have a massively intense light source, but it's not interacting with anything in the environment.
This is just a personal style critique, but it feels like the sky and bottom half of the imagine is dominated by the generic soft round/airbrush tool. Imo it contributes to making things look muddy. Smoke/mist can be quite soft, but it also has different layers of opaqueness.
Anyway, hope that was helpful! :)
