Found through ProjectComment. I like the way the colors fit together harmoniously (for the most part). Each panel has a distinct primary color but you avoided making them strictly monochrome. The most interesting color combinations are in the Android and phantom. Those two appeal to me the most.

In the lake monster, I like the wild, crazy facial expression and the clever use of a scaly texture but I feel that the overall use of color is too close to monochrome or that there isn't enough value variation. If the hair was the color of mud or considerably darker than the skin and background, it would make it more readable. The way the hair flows gives an impression of the character being underwater where the hair would flow in the water. If she's above the surface, her hair would likely be wet and heavy, similar to the ghost girl in Ring.

The Unicorn reminds me of Delirium from Sandman in a way. The eyes are dreamy and I get the feeling this character is sensitive and likes poetry. She doesn't look like a monster in the traditional sense. Her hand is really small and I think due to perspective, it should be larger than that. I think you're underestimating the distance between the hand and the torso in the depth dimension. It's good to be aware of how far in front of the torso the elbow comes because it affects where the forearm and hand end up. Many people make the assumption that it's possible to do all sorts of stuff with the hands in front of the body while having the upper arms remaining parallel to the torso, but if you test how high you can move your hands without allowing your elbows to come forward from where they would be in a passive position, you discover that the range of motion is limited.

The Phoenix makes me think of a specific type of a bully. She looks like a typical mean girl with the pointy chin and narrowed eyes. She just comes off as the sort of a girl who would manipulate the entire school to pick on a victim while keeping her hands clean. An evil mastermind who watches from the shadows while others do the dirty work. It hits a bit too close to home with high schoo memories. The hair is impressive but I think the uneventful skin tone doesn't do it justice. I think if you added some frecles or some other small detail, it would break up the monotony of the skin.

I don't have much to say about the Android. I like the cracks and the color combinations. While the chosen hair looks surprisingly plain and ratty for a character with cyan skin tone, I feel that pairing something so low in saturation with other elements of high saturation is an excellent idea and the texture and the muddy color add on to the impression that this creature used to look human once before she got abandoned and broken. The drooping eyelid is an excellent detail, as well as the dimmed eye.

The phantom reminds me of Blue Diamond from Steven Universe (to some extent). This short of hair would have been good for the lake monster but I understand you can't have two characters with the same hair. The neck attachment looks a bit off and if you moved the visible outline more to the right, it would look like the face sticks forward and make it work better as a three-dimensional form. The way the face is stylized is excelelnt and even though the proportions are not realistic in the traditional sense, they look perfect within the bounds of this style. The elongated nature of the bottom half of the face contributes to the apathy and hopelessness radiating from her.

Finally, we have Kitty. She seems to be the odd one out. It bugs me a bit that the character seems to be viewed from a greater distance than the rest in this set. I get the feeling you woiuld get a more unified look if she was seen from the same distance as the phantom. If you want to make it apparent that this character is shorter than the others, you could have the top of her head lower in the frame, like she could only reach that far. She seems curious like she was interested in who's on the other side of the screen. While the graphic would work as a standalone, as a part of this combo the excessive amount of whitespace around her makes the panel look like it doesn't belong in the set. The background color also seems too desaturated or too light. It's hard to pinpoint what exactly makes it look off but you could try to make it more radiant.
