I drew Aether, and aside from some perspective issues, this is probably the best he's ever come out. I still can't figure out how to do all those cells in the dragonfly wings, though.

Very nice! I like his expression paired with the hand gestures, they pair well to give a mystical quality to him. For the dragonfly wings, you might consider adding a stronger/thicker ridge to the top portion of the wing, with the rest of the length-wise divisions radiating from where the wings attach to his back.
Thank you! Yeah, this is the most mystical I have ever made him look, in my opinion. I am definitely happy with his face, expression, build, and design, despite several visual issues with the picture.
Thanks for the suggestion about the dragonfly wings.
My main issue with drawing the cells is more that I get overwhelmed by all the detail, especially with applying lighting, and it ends up not looking right.
If the cells of dragonfly wings were larger relative to the wings, I wouldn't have this issue.

If you're not committed to exactly dragonfly wings, you could do dragonfly styled while incorporating other elements. Maybe structured more like monarch wings, which have a decent number of cells and strong ribs throughout. Just something to consider. Otherwise, I'm sure you'll get more comfortable drawing them with time.
