Thank you so much for your kind words !
I don't know if I really have improved since last year but what I saw is everyone doing it even more than I do

At least I'm really faster than previous years, and that's a big relief.

Otherwise, yes I'm still not very sure about this "head" (kinda worm head, and to cheat with the flow for the composition).
And of course the bottom right corner is a topic for many changes.
Also maybe I will disentegrate a creature or 2 in the upper left corner in that firestorm.

Oh and another little point that may help others...try not to think too much when you draw something (or your start other and other again...well I know I do too sometimes).
And of course, try to create what is fun for YOU, not for the others (I mean we all have different tastes and all...maybe I'm on the other side, I like pretty much everything and that's hard for me to just choose one thing to draw (well my love for mechas is high so...now I don't even have to think twice ).

It seems probably simple suggestions, but it could be a great "healing"...when you are kinda lost in your own creative process (also (your own) good musics can help a lot with disconnect your brain, for overthinking way too much !).

Thanks a lot !
Ok then I will put a "troll" head so everyone will get it

Thank you so much @dreamsequenz @rgdraw @Oceane_Roh -> yes this was probably hard to distinct (and still T-T)
A little anim on what I've done.
Not sure about lot of elements, so I will figure them out along the road.

Now it is kind of a (royal) Rooster

@sani Well I thought that the shape (for the arm/gun) was looking like an egg...then I saw a sort of an eagle head and transform it into a rooster head in the end and other stuffs

Last update, still a loooot to do.
Background is still super messy (same with monsters)

I really think I should get rid off that floaty wing on his back (there is already too much stuff going on...) and probably the steam from each side of the left foot.

Thank you so much @Oceane_Roh !
I try my best everytime...just not sure if I can finish like I really want to ^^'

Not sure which one to use yet...even if that's maybe the last thing I will do
If you want to put your suggestion on which one could look the best (I know I haven't detailed them each a lot...or maybe I will keep them 3 and decide at last step).

Still not sure about the green/turquoise sky, but I like this colour.
Next step probably adding new monster + changing the flying one.

And a closer look on one.

Thank you @sani ! Well after some thinking, I'm going with B "Huge wave" (and now there is an ocotpus emerging from the sea).
Baby steps of today

I enlarged the canvas on top.
Many little details everywhere...I think the canon is looking better this way.

So many stuffs to correct, so little time left...

Added an octopus-dolphin (don't ask me why this breed) and a sort of giant eagle-dragon.

The tentacle on his right leg comes from the sea (octopus-doplhin).

Sure I know my values are totally wrong and all...but I prefer to focus on the details first (yes that's probably not the best T-T )

Also, you make a good point here...I loose so much strength when I paint it (I also prefer my sketches than my boring paintings...they loose so much dynamism with these linearts).
Well, that's a bit false because I can't get rid of the linearts...or else everything is blurry or confusing and all...

But my first problem is, I started it too late....and I don't really like it anymore.
Still I will try my best to finish it (but I got a gift to finish for my nefew birthday , of course tomorrow )

Nevertheless, I do know I progressed a lot since 3-4 years doing Artwar(s) !!!
And surely many of us are, even if some can't be here every year or barely, sadly
