The gravel crusher looks awesome, but it doesn't look like a sandstorm. More like snow, I think. Like it's tearing through the mountains somewhere.
As for the tower on the edge of the world, I still think it looks like the cliff is overhanging the town. Less so now that there's atmospheric effects in front of it, but still a little bit. It does look very cool, though--I'm especially impressed with the level of detail, like the individual stairs and the docks.
I understand what you mean about the snow. I tend to have low levels of saturation in my digital paintings, and that leads to ambiguity in situations like this. I may need to go back and adjust certain colour levels to get the desired effect. As for the town, I know what you mean there too. I think a lot of it has to do just with the way I angled the top of the cliff, I think I'm okay with it overhanging the town, though. So it goes. Thank you very much for the kind words, it really means a lot to me.
Here's the finished version of the drawing I posted earlier. I added the sandstorm itself, some more cloudiness and balanced colours a little more. Hope you guys like it.
EDIT: I had a productive day and also decided to finish up this piece:
I totally forgot to respond to this. Sorry Archemetis.
Thank you very much for the kind words. I was very busy in my absence. Part of the reason I quit the 'Pist was to re-evaluate the way I spend my time. I ended up with a lot more time to do digital paintings and thus produced a much larger body of work than I otherwise would have.
This one I'm calling the Levitationist, Basically, these creatures developed a mechanical way to enhance the potentially limitless energy found in a mineral which is very un-creatively named Ether.
These guys specialise in finding and working with the Ether, because direct contact with it is harmful.
The Botanist, simply as the name implies they specialise in plant life, the studying and maintaining of plant-life is their passion in life, using the Ether from their gauntlet they can induce small doses of life revitalising energy as well use the gauntlet to register energy readings from the plants themselves.
The Warrior, they're not typically a battle-ready race, their only forces are made in necessity really, for protection, they get a dual gauntlet set-up which allows them to project ether weaponry and armour.
Usually in the forms of swords and shields.
I got bored and did some basic colour on the warrior.
It's a cool little creature. It has a lot of potential for development. What you have here is a good start. What you want to watch out for visually is pose. Your poses here are a little awkward and unnatural-looking. Particularly for the botanist, where one leg has about half as much thigh as calf. In pictures like the warrior, you just need to lengthen his right leg (our left) and it'll be fine. Actually almost all the problems stem from one leg out of two being a little bit off, so you're pretty much there. After that, develop, develop, develop and this could become an awesome race which I may or may not be interested in using in a D&D campaign at some point if that would be alright with you.

If you wanna use them in D&D then go ahead, I'd be honoured if someone wanted to roleplay one of these little guys. and yeah the leg's need work, I'll make sure to work on them when I do the fleshing out designs.
Why is I not in that picture? Am I not talkative enough on Twitter to be put into your artwork?
*goes to cry*
I'm kidding. It's rather good, really. I especially like how you made Maxi a tiny little monster, with Sky about to hug him. Of course, SharPhoe would cower in fear, regardless of Maxi's size.
Here's a current work in progress. It's a bear creature I'm calling an Ursadon (uncreative, I know). Anyway, those purple things on it's back are plates made of bone and cartilage, but are embedded with a type of valuable stone from the rocks in the caves it hibernates in. They are hunted extensively (as will be made clear later in the image when it should become more clear that it's running from and or at hunters).
Hey, these guys are neat. They look like they'd be in one of those highly-stylized sort of comics, all black and white and slight variations thereof. I'm getting an image of a city of them with all kinds of archways and towers and stuff, but that might just be me.
You are astonishingly good at drawing characters.

It's actually awesome what images the mind can conjure up, your idea of the City and all that is pretty much along the lines of the idea I had, I imagined them to be a species that live in a subterranean Mining City.
But mostly because their lives are dedicated to mining and refining of mystical minerals that use to power machines.
So, it's like a cavernous setting with a bustling City built into the rocks, still glistening with glowing minerals that are being mined through the use of laser-cutters.
And I constantly picture the rocky surfaces to be purple-ish in colour and shaped like those formations of rock that are formed from years of water erosion.
