Mr. Turtle Needs Some Input

[Camilleon]

Hello, I have been working on this for the past week, but it still doesn't "pop" the way I want it to. Any ideas? I would love to get some feedback on this. Thanks so much!



For process images, click here. I am specifically concerned with the water puddles on the floor--I'd like them to be more realistic, but I'm having a super hard time finding decent references. In general, the image doesn't feel intense and dream-like enough...not sure how to put that into pixels.
