I'm not a professional at art but I'll try to show my perspective on this art work. When I look at it, I thinks your going for a lonely vibe so I make the background lighter with yellow to separate the character from it and I also change the reflected light into yellow. Since you want more vibrant colors, I change the dark part into a more darkish-blue instead of black and make the colors more saturated. Hope this helps.
I made this at the start of the year and I was going with an art similar to Mike Mignola. I like the art but I'm sort it didn't look as flat as I made it. This piece doesn't have any depth what so ever. Also I wish the piece was more vibrant in colors, while keeping the blue tones I was going for.
