I agree with gregeyman555 about the blurryness. To fix that, you might want to try using a Hard Edged brush and then switch to a soft one when you want to blend or take focus off of something.

Another issue I'm noticing is that while you're using quite a few colors in your art, they're all too similar in value. Try looking at your artwork in just black and white and you'll see how little contrast there is.

You've got a really nice color palette going with this! They're spread out nicely and adds unity to your artwork. You're definitely on the right track when it comes to picking colors.

Here are tutorials/tips that I think might be helpful to you.
