I hope these drawings are good at explaining how i think you could improve it (even tho they're kinda crappy). I really suggest taking your own reference for the pose to really figure what you want and what can work.
I also did a crappy paintover to add another source of light. I don't think you necessarily need the other light, but i think it would be nice if you found some way to add a red/orange accent color to contrast the green atmosphere (which i really like) and guide the eye towards the focal point (prolly the face and the bell, which is why you might want to get the bell a bit closer to the camera)
Hope i helped someway
Thanks! I actually did take some references for the pose. Maybe the idea of it was a little weak, or I could explore some of the examples in your sketches. The third one down actually seems a lot stronger to me.
The warm light source in your painting looks really cool. It provides a contrast against the green that is sure to be appealing. I do have to say it wouldn't make that much sense, though, just because you wouldn't have a firey light source in a watery grave. It sort of makes me think "what could possibly be burning to the left?" But then again you probably wouldn't have the main light source I chose, either. So maybe my insistence on realism is kind of silly considering it's a fantasy.
Thanks for the feedback, I think at the very least I'll incorporate some of the ideas from the paintover, if not the orange light. I feel that mine looks kind of colorless in comparison.
