Specially the inside cape, something feels weird. How should I properly do the front image one. I think I like the other angles but something seems off in the inside of the last picture ( sword left hand ball right)

#

Specially the front folds facing upwards

And how do you highlight the head moon part?

It appears to me that you've painted the cape primarily with shadows in the depth of folds and light on top. Assuming your light source comes from above you need to change that so that the light is placed on your upward facing surfaces. Look into volumetric highlighting and you should be able to improve it. The light purple on the trim has to go, it looks unnatural and really throws off the eye
