My only concern i would say at this stage is pushing the value gradiant in the shadow side.3 value of the same color work enough for cartoony look but 1 or 2 value is just not enought to create the right amount of contrast personally i like strong contrast so it no surpris if i can't contain myself from trying to see a more contrasted version.
Note i focus on the character in particular for time sake.
What i want to say also is to trying to avoid putting the two light source at opposite direction giving each light a bit of a up or down angle help avoid a flatning and that also why as said previously you would possibly prefer the primary and secondary light to be of different intensity as it contribute to defining the volume.
Personally i think this composition would fix the previous mention problem and the rest of the body look superficial to the overall story.Minus the foreground element (plant) but it doesn't really matter as the overlapping helmet replace them just enought to be a foreground element instead.The only thing is the spear being crop.I like the verticality it give to the piece but i think we lose part of the story without the guard and the fire but it could be more implied like i said in an other comment with smoke in the sky and bigger flame near the shoulder portion. I just added the crop version(without the value adjustment) in case you feel the composition is interesting enough to go in that direction.
Oh and before i go just for giggle how would those spear not fall over if most of the weight is at the head of the spear?
Cheer and keep up the good work.
