I think the reds aren't working because they're distracting the eye away from the intended focal point. Maybe if his eyes were a bright glowy red that would help bring your attention back to his face. Maybe a red bejeweled crown too?? I love how you create your own textures within your linework though, nice job

well you know already that i LOVE the B&W to this piece...the colours are nice too but i'm not feeling the 'purple' in the staff

Thanks fella, going to keep trying till you love the coloured one too!!!! i have to admit that i agree with you, the purple on the staff looked good at the begining of the piece, when it was only the staff i coloured and i was quite proud of it, so even when it was complete i was too stubborn to change it!!!

yeah i can see how by itself it would have looked quite nice.
i think the colour palette for this needs to be quite dark & muted in non-focal areas with a few dark but vibrant areas. thus adding to the "i'm at the bottom of the ocean, but i'm the KING" feeling.
that far down red is essentially invisible. work out a palette, put all of the colours next to each other & see if they 'play well' with each other.
Texture the 'black smokers' in the background, they'll help direct the viewers attention & set the ominous mood.
