First there is the black background, second there is a lot of empty space

I agree on the background color, should've chosen pink at least. now i'll probably need to start the game from the beginning !!

If you can make it transparent, that will help. If not, definitely pick a color for the background that is not on the sprite.

Second, don't have a lot of empty space. The tighter you can put them together the better. What helps me is TexturePacker. There's a free version and with a little playing around it will create an optimal sprite sheet for you.

How about this?

Btw you only need one arm, since they're the same sprite just mirrored.

Just looked at a video on youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cG_uUPR4zn4 (2:15)

It is possible to get the complete lower half of the dragon, he has also sprites where he attacks from the distance. There are also various SFX missing.

If regular screenshots with Animget are not enough, you can use MAME's tile viewer for that:
