Nice drawings, try to use a hard brush and use a wider range of tones for a better contrast - without it, things look flat. Also, try to challange yourself with a background, some kind of photo-based landscape for instance. Creatures look much better when placed in some kind of an enviroment. It can give depth and story to your design.
The multiple-tongued lizard is awesome.
Keep drawing!

Personally I think you should practice more observational work vs. fantasy. I know that creating work from your head is a lot funner and more exciting... but we draw upon knowledge based upon the real world (pardon the pun).
I would specifically recommend Still lifes, especially of fruit and/or dead fish, etc.. can really help one develop a good sense of color and light and hone painting techniques. It's kind of like a scientific experiment that allows you to get rid of other variables.
Just my 2 cents.

Things are coming along but I also agree with mybutterflyiris about using more studies to influence your work.

If you want to learn a particular area more quickly, say faces, doing many sketches and learning proportions from books will get you there before large single rendered pieces.

Looks like you have good imagination and a strong interest in variety so I look forward to seeing your stuff develop!

For learning more impacting lighting conditions, hunt around for cool photography of models with cast shadows etc. etc. and do greyscale studies. I want to do more of this myself as my lighting is likely often similar.

Good luck!
