Illustration Feedback

[Mulcimer]

I've been redoing this illustration for a little bit and I feel a bit 'stuck' as far was where else I can take this. I know I wanna have the creature in the foreground shadowed except for the key features (Right front claw and facial features: eyes, teeth, drool). I can't tell if anymore would be 'overkill'

The creature seems fairly well lit at the moment, and could handle a little more shading. The hand in the distance could probably stand to be faded back a little, it's grabbing too much attention from the main monster at the moment and could be subtler.
