Your lineart is just awesome--never underestimate that skill. (I paint to hide my lines!)
One thing your paintings might miss is the darker end of the value scale. You can get away with it with lineart because of the black lines. Just try out amping the contrast and see what it does. Not that your paintings have to be dark. But even high key images have small dark areas.
Here is an example of what I mean by increasing contrast. It was basically a levels adjustment layer, with a tiny color tweak. Hope it helps, and that you don't mind my messing with your artwork.
You can see on the histogram the flatline where the blacks are missing.
