I think an important question to ask is: Is there anything in particular, skillwise, that you want to work on?

Sometimes making a hybrid project that's part on practice and part on content can be rewarding. :)

Honestly I'm at a loss of what to do at this point. Not sure which direction I should go. Should I concentrate more on dragons and different skills in coloring them or should I do more wolves and fine tune that or something radical like sea turtles. I'm not sure where to put my time into.

I think that the more radical, the more likely it is to grow your skills. Sea turtles certainly need more representation. :P

I also think that dragons are pretty challenging to draw.

Thanks for the advice, it is much appreciated.
