That's looking nice but I still think you should push saturation in key focal areas such as around the face chest area and use speculars to distinguish the various materials a bit more. Most of the image is tending towards this cool gray (which is a usual problem with using colour modes) which is making all your colours less vibrant. You could try duplicating the entire character rendering into a new layer and doing a bit of colour balancing on the whole thing it to get some higher saturation, more chroma in the lit and shadow areas, and then with a mask paint in as needed. It's quick to do this and experiment. I might give it a go a bit later and see what I can come up with.
Also it is looking very digital and clean and sharply defined all over so maybe consider playing with some really low opacity texture work over the whole image to get that hue variation going and add a bit of noise and grit. That's more a preference thing, but skme random variation is key to vibrant images. Good luck with finishing.
