Hey! It looks like you're new here. You might want to check out the introduction.

Of all your sketches, this one is probably the most immediately unclear one to me. I can see the her talons, and the coins, but for the longest while I thought Griswielda was burried in the coins with only her talon sticking out of the pile. I didn't quite register the shapes to the left as her head until I read Moosetasm's comment. I think what's hurting you is not being able to see Giswielda's body from this angle. Her silhouette isn't really strong, so it takes a long time to understand her posture in relation to the perspective.

Lacking the story, this image is barely recognizable as anything. Maybe a carrot patch surrounded by donuts.

I for one can tell exactly what's going on, right down to the thoughts inside the subject's head.
