I always love your pallettes, they're so dreamy.
Cool piece you have there. What bothers at first glance is that it's hard to make all the different parts, this is due to contrast issues. Mainly the blue is too contrastful and too bright, so it dominates over the rest. I think you should aim your contrast towards the tail/sword.
Do you have a site up with your stuff btw? I remember seeing some iso characters of you on pixelerate, and I saved those, but lost em, I'd like to see those back, they inspired me a great lot...
