Well, like I said before, that you like them is the important thing. I'm just giving my opinion XP Happy further designing!

I think, overall, some color contrasts are needed. Over darker areas, something bright and something dark over the lightest or brightest. This draws and shocks the eye and creates focal points to bring the eyes back to it. I'm not going to do a running commentary on all of them, but that's the one key item that most designs can use. The other thing is, use neutrals for the light/bright areas, dark neutrals, but still neutrals...colors go on dark areas.
Anybody's designs, mine, your's...anyone. That's the best bit of advice I can give you. Use the highlight markings in the place of accessory, like clothing. You wear solid black clothing, you accent it with brightly colored accessories, necklaces, sash around the waist, stockings, bangles...same thing. You wear white or yellow or some other light or bright toned thing, earthtones in jewelry or sashes or scarves, works best.
Translate that to your design color choices and layering.
Same thing.
This is why my avatar has dark brown skin and black hair...dark neutrals with light or bright primary colors, draws the eyes and keeps the attention.
ummmmm.....I did make this for my designs, like a personal thread. Just thought I'd tell you before I go nuts. Yes, I do feel like you are invading my thread. However, I will be happy to give feedback on them if you make your own thread, and get them out of mine. Just feels a bit like you are intruding to me. It's not you, and I really don't want to be mean. I just have quirks, and this is one of them.

Please don't be rude.
She never stated that this thread was open for anyone to post in, she just posted her own and everyone was giving her feedback. That, plus the fact that there are multiple other threads of the same style should have given you the idea that this was not open for you to ask for feedback in, but that you should make your own thread.

I loved the Stuffing Bulbori at first, but then I started playing with the image itself to test out the other traits.
The G1 is waaaay too overpowering of a green. The first trait I look at for Bulbori G1 is always Dutch, since it has the most coverage. The second is always Tiger, since it uses the C2 color.
Very strong color. On the other hand, traits like Tiger work better because of the C2 color, but the green is still pretty overpowering. The stuffings I've always seen are more focused on the brown/yellow tones, with maybe a hint of green or orange depending on what's used in it. Honestly I think it could use a bit more pale yellow tones, and the gene 1 seems like a good place to put it since many of the G1 traits will cover 30-80% of the bulbori's body. (And stuffing is about 30-80% pale yellows, rather than having that much green.)
The Gravy Kelpari is awesome! The colors work well together and the brightness of the genes are very pretty. It's made it to one of my favorite designs you've made :)
The Walking Corpse Lupora looks a bit too saturated in colors. One of the results of death is the loss of blood, which leaves a body much, much paler. I think a lighter color pallet would serve the base colors much better, with the genes used for blood, dirt, or other sources of gross-ness that would darken the fur.
As for the Shadowland designs, they can definitely use more contrast. If you want to keep the low saturation, you can always change the tone instead. Add contrast by making part of it a green/grey, or a blue/grey, or a yellow/gray and so on. It took me a moment to realize that TLK meant The Lion King, but once I caught on I was able to find a good image of the Post-Scar Pridelands. Taking colors straight from the image using the color picker tool on paint and plugging in the R/G/B values to the generator, the following hexes can be used to add in some contrast.

Just to list a few. :)
Edit: Since you added a couple more..
O.O The Indian Corn Lighira! Only comment before I have to leave - try changing the G3 color. It's too similar to the G1/G2, so with certain combinations it can disappear entirely. Like Appaloosa/Appaloosa and Ember Runes. The Runes on the paws are just barely visible.
