Frames two and three of the comic page i am doing was going to wait till i finished the page and show the lot but a lot of detail is lost when in the page format. The colours do not look like the ones i have at home i don't know if its my computer or the computer at work but one of the monitors is messed up. If the lips are black/purple on the guy in the first frame and you can't see any grass under the horses belly on the second frame its my monitor that needs replaceing.

The first one looks really weird, in that you have this uber-bright yellow/white splotch on the right side of his helmet, yet all the balls running down the front nose piece show a light source in the upper RH corner (as viewed)...
This weird lighting continues with the strange, flat metal piece jammed up against his ear, pushing it forward at a strange angel. That light source appears to be to the direct LH side (as viewed), although his ear, which is under the helmet, shows a light source driectly above and in front of it. This is in contradiction to the directly overhead light source on his nose, which, of course, does not match those metal balls directly above it...
His shoulder bears the reflection of a light source farther to the left and lower than any other light source previously noted, while the shoulder buckle again displays the directly overhead shine of a light reflection...

To complete our confusion of light, we look into the warrior's eyes, seeing a bright reflection from below eye level, with a secondary refraction on the lower half...

The background is negligible. Your problem is consistency...

Now that you mention it the lighting is a bit all over the place but i can fix it up. Those uber whites should'nt be there they don't appear on the pic at home Monitor problems i am having.

This shows two versions of your image. The first one is with all the colors desaturated, while the second is converting your image to Grayscale.
Since color can equal value, the grayscale shows too large of white areas, whereas the desaturated image shows the uber-white spot on top of the helmet, which does not match the light sources for the vast majority of your highlight directions.
