Its good that you used some textures over your painting,but don't use them too much.
Also ,what I would suggest is to watch over for the shadows. You have few light sources here, and for example you are missing some shadows on the table from the objects. Background looks much more interesting this way but I would not make it this much intense,-so the main character could stand out a bit more. As the chains are going further they should be blurry. You have focus on the characters.not on them.
But overall-its a really interesting presentation of picture with its own story. Lovely use of green and pink color.(I'd kill that blue in the background a bit more with green).

Yeah, toxicpanda is right. tone down the background, and increase the shadow on the outlines of of the character (like opposite to rim lighting) ( becaue theres no light source coming from the top and back - if you darken/ tone down the background).
Besides that add some stains and dirt to the character! It's an Alchemist - he should have some stains from acid on his clothes . his hair shouldnt be like he went to a hair dresser a momment ago - so straight and "glamourous":)
