Color Rookie, looking for help!

[t y l e r]

Hey all,

I've been working on B&W stuff for quite a while now, but I feel its time to venture into the next dimension by adding some color into the mix. My color theory is a little weak however, and I could use some pointers. Here's one that I'm working on, now keep in mind that the JPEG turned out a bit on the dark side, but what do you think it needs, color-wise?

Thanks!

Well, for some reason it comes of as to scenes, oe background and one character in front. I think its the color of the lighting - the backscene is all lit in fire-light, redish, but the ogre (?) is in natural light (blueish shadows).

Some more yellow / red on the ogres left side could help this up, esp on the teeth and perhaps some on the cleaver.
Also, if the blood id fresh, it should glim more.

I think it will be a nice piece, keep me updated :D
