Oy! thats some sweet line-art! :D
U might have read some Geoff Darrow comics, maybe?
As I am myself trying to get better at color, going away from lines, I have no real good tips, but heres a few things I hought of:
- loose the "blend tool background"
- start with a "dirty canvas" - maybe a scaled up part of old pic, or some dirty brownish color as base
- work at the whole area at the same time, makes for better blending of colors
- limit the use of selections and cut-outs to near zero, it looks "wrong" somehow - try thinking "color-perspective" things farthereaway gets less color (hmmm, dont know the right word for it...) also without selections, U natuarally get the blurry effect on things out of focus or further away.

Good luck on your journey from lines to color :)

Man your good, but one thing though, the first guy's arms are long and huge. You should make them smaller.
