Heres a picture ive been tinkering on for a while, initially done for an activity over on CGHub and then spruced up to do it a bit more justice.
Main reason for posting it up is to share a lot of what i found to be great advice and really helpful. A lot of it was from the dudes over at apedogs in my original thread;

I also had some nice suggestions in my sketchbook too.
Even though it's not really a 2d central place it just seemed like something that would be nice to have around.
big images are big.

Want to give it attack and defense points, 'cause it looks like something from magic the gathering
I think it's really awesome how you stuck with it through all the many revisions and took a lot of great critique to heart. It all shows, and you came out with a very impressive concept illustration!
Congrats, you really did that piece justice!!
Cheers mezz, with all the great advice I got i felt like id be doing them and the picture a disservice to not at least have a bash at implementing what was suggested.
I think the design is now stronger but still looks a bit too much like a green mass - tried to break it up a bit with flowers and whatnot.
Will probably upload a small version of the if people were interested, nothing groundbacking aside an organised layer setup and locking transparency~
The second pose you're on there with that silhouette is much better
