Hey man, I did another paintover for you. If you've already gone about making your needed corrections or moved on with the piece, maybe these things can be considered in the future.
As you draw an imaginary subject, remember that you are the expert on how it looks and works in a three dimensional environment.
The more light sources you have, the more you have to consider things like reflection, refraction, ambient effects... it can be a pickle sometimes. I'd suggest keeping it simple, and going about expressing light considerately. If you can make a convincing light setup, it will help make the piece look so much closer to a realistic thing.
That, and what JabyReART told about contrast. For the gold on the chest I laid out some purple on an overlay layer, this is more of a personal preference but it does gives it a nice deep warmth.
I hope you can find this helpful, looking really good otherwise.
