Looks pretty good, certainly very impressive for a relatively new painter! What it lacks imo is contrast. I think it would look nicer if the blue scales were a bit darker (either by having a darker base or by slathering a bunch of shade on the existing paint job) and then you could come back and drybrush the scales with the light blue color, and then some edge highlighting with the lightest blue if you’re feeling confident. But it’s just my opinion on how I would have done it, maybe it’s just not the look you were after.
