Outline of creature DEFINITELY needs to be touched up a lot. It is very very jagged. Try looking up AA guides since your piece won't be animated.

Hey! Nice progress there Vermolius.
Heres a tip for you.
Don't be scared of playing around with the hues of your piece. Sometimes it takes a good while to tweak, but the end result is worth it. Think about different colors that can be used for shadows and highlights of a color.
Your main color is red in this piece. Purple is a great shadow color for red and yellow is a great highlight color.
For green yellow can be a highlight and blue a shade. Same goes for other colors as well.
Heres a quick edit to show you just how much more depth a nice color palette can add to your piece. All I did was change the hue of all your shadows and highlights. No saturation or lum(ination?) changes.
One on the far left is your original. I personally prefer the middle one, but don't think these are complete! I'm only critiquing the coloring, and my edits only took about 2 minutes so play around with it and study other peoples pieces to see how they go about contrasting their shades.
Well, I've been using Paint since forever, but I use Graphics Gale for things like "Full desaturation" and what not, but I feel more comfortable on paint tbh :/
