So as you've seen I've been working with painting characters and what not in photoshop..
Experimenting with more than the basic color palette than I'm generally using.
Examples...

And I need to know what you guys think. I mean they aren't necessarily my most popular images, and that's probably because I'm just experimenting. See I want to start offering these as commissions and I'd like to know y'alls thoughts on this :3
feedback is <3

Just -make sure- that whomever you're working for can get a digital pre-paint colored image so they can make sure the colors are correct before you make it permanent paint.
I'm not going to comment on the art itself (not that it needs comments), It's yours and pretty damn amazing (and far better than anything i can do) But i do know a little something something about coloring.
Or you can ignore what i say :D! either way works with me.
when i say "Put more detail" into the color i mean Mixing more than light base and shadow, work in a few extra colors to add sheen and work with using black lightly to make your pieces pop more and give them a a little more roundness.
as with the line art statement, that was preference of ability (as pretty much everything i'm saying is). Just something you could experiment with to see if you liked or not, and to try and work into your own style.
Your coloration is a good preliminary state, its rather roughed in and you get the main basic tones that you want. All digital painters start wit ha process similar to that. the next step is refinement, blending and using the endless brush options to your advantage to create textures and blended forms.
Here are a few tutorial links that ive collected over the years.

I would also recommend looking into ImagineFX and their book titled "Fantasy Workshop"
