If you live in a house like that, you've got to have a really strange pet!

Here are a few work in progress images and thoughts about the process:

This image is brilliant. The colours are almost perfect, the mood you've created is amazing. The forms have that quirky, fantastical feel that I'd expect from a game like Morrowind.

The narrative you've created around a very unusual creature-pet in an unusual landscape with no visible owner is great.

There's an issue with the composition, however.
The large, central rock formation divides the image into two halves. In the left half we have the pet, and on the right we have a cliff with some unexplained light on the rock.
The issue is that as we look at the pet in the cage on the left side, our eye is drawn quite strongly by the contrast between the small patch of red light and expanse of black rock on the right side of the image. It feels almost uncomfortable to look at the pet; the eye is constantly being tugged rightwards.
The small holes in that central rock structure also draw our attention away from the pet due to their very high contrast. I would be tempted to put some of those distant mountains behind the structure to reduce the contrast between the dark rock and the holes in this rock.
Obviously no composition can ever be perfect, but these small changes would, I feel, benefit this image.

Another (small) issue is those areas of quite vivid blue that can be seen through the lower holes in that central rock form. They seem somewhat out of place.

Keep it up!
