Painting scales could be challenging but you've managed!
If you accept critique in comments I can share some general thoughts about this one

Fo sho! I'll take any advice that will help me improve.

At first - even in such drawings the air perspective is needed. The more distant object - the less color saturation and tone. So you'll get the darkest - a shadow part of right elbow and the most colorless - the shield and a tail-tip. Just pull some blue in shadows and you'll get profit
Also there's a lack of definite cast shadows on the body from arm and mandibula, that equalize planes and makes figure flat
Hope, this helps you

Good point! I hadn't thought of using atmospheric perspective, but it looks like that would add a lot of depth. Thanks for the tip!

Sweet! I like how you used a bunch of different colors.

To me, the thick torso and legs make her look like a guy in a suit. Is that what you're going for?
In any case, the texture and pose are really great, as are the club and shield.

Nope, just really beefy and, well, video-gamey. The design has to translate in a limited number of polygons, so the physical attributes are somewhat exaggerated for clarity.

Looks crisp. If this is representative of what you *like* doing, maybe send your portfolio to the larger roleplaying & collectible card game publishers. The look is there. I think you'd get some commissions.

Thanks! I'm planning on doing something of the sort soon. Good experience, and some income wouldn't hurt.

Good! And all the best when you do that.

I think she might be a little too colorful, unless females compete for males...

Yeah, I kinda realized that after I painted her. I based the color scheme on some oddly exposed photos of a green iguana. Just wait till you see the male, though, he's really flashy!
