Yo Skeddles!

You can fix that slime shape! It's more gel than slime, but also it has a corner in the top left, a corner in the base plate, and overall doesn't read very soft and squishy. It gets softer if it would get slightly wider at the base, being hardly able to support it's own weight. 
The base thing suggests a slightly top down view, yet the face suggests a side view...

Maybe draw a couple slime monsters by hand on paper to figure out how a smooth slime should look and behave?

What's with the star highlight on the slime? A single sparkle? Texture is smooth and soft, not with extreme point highlights!

The inner AA on the lineart has a weird effect on the line thickness. Correct this by making the line thicker on the non AA part or thinner on the AA parts.

And I suppose the background and the text isn't finished yet?

I like them both.

I'd potentially make the snout of the dragon more abrupt/distinctive, but that's me.
