Description PLEASE READ

I tried hard to make this look good, but it still look like garbage :S   
I still don't know what's wrong here. Someone know how to make it better?

UPD: Well, now it looks better, but little help never hurt!

Here was a little island in the sky, it was cracked in the middle a long time ago and now here two little islands in the sky! It was retty painful for poor island though... To prevent these two pieces from flying away, inhabitants of that land (now it called "the Rift") braided it by billions of threads... Not that they didn't do that before. In fact, these threads play a big role in their architecture. They use it to make ther homes comfortable and soft, or to decorate, or to make traps... A lot of purposes!

Islands is alive and pulse slowly. They covered in globs of blob, and it's a blessing for any weird life that you can find here.

Looking good! I'd say ActionYuri gave you some good advice, the blues definitely help the piece come together. I understand your fears about adding contrast, though. I never put in enough contrast on my first pass, I always have to go back through and add more.

Oh hi, I'm so glad you're here! ^U^

Yes, it was very, very good advice. Contrast is little tricky, one wrong move - and everything is lost.

That's looking pretty neato! Those blues make everything pop! Also the story of the little island in the sky is pretty cool, who are these inhabitants? I imagined spider people cause of the threads XD

Thank you *___*
At least I tried. Your comments helped me a lot, thanks! <3

They're little spyder-y, yes, but that's not a main point in them. I already have designs of them, I just need polish it a little to make these creatures look more original. I'll post it here, it must took some time, sorry for inconvience ^^'

I think it's the lighting in which you took the picture, it makes the colors look dull, maybe take it again in the golden hour (when the sun is either rising or setting )? Also, contrast is key, don't be afraid to use more shadows and lights!
Other than that I love the vibe it's giving, it looks mysterious,  Hope it helped! Have a nice day!

Thank you! I'm really glad that you critique that and not just fav and run. So it's contrast thing, yes? I'll try to add some more cold colors here. Yes, I'm a little afraid that if I add more contrast incorrectly, I'll ruin picture. Also, isn't my work a little blurish? Maybe I need to make it a more precise?

I did take photo of it and doesn't like what I seen because my camera made everything look blue. I tried to redact this, but it didn't work and only messed with colors more. The fact that my camera is bad (just my laptop's front camera) don't help the case. I think that advice of taking photo in "golden hour" is really helpful and I must give it a shot. 

Thank you, I'm pretty inexperienced with drawing and little help is always welcome, and your comment is very useful! ^_^

I'm glad it was!! It does look blurred a bit, did you use watercolors? It's easy for the color to expand on the paper, I really like how you did the sky tho, those clouds are very well done!!
I'll try to give advice more often, but I remind you that I'm no expert either, so take them with a bit of salt XD

Hell no, it's gouache! X)
It's not a clouds, it's part of how my camera messed with colors, but I liked it anyway and will paint it on final version. I hope I'll paint them as good as my PC (that feeling when your tool better at drawing then you. That's awkward)...
 Aww, thanks! That's really sweet! I'll try be a good at what I do and educate myself more ^^'
