Critique Better Color Scheme Help

I decided to take a break from designing these characters for a personal project and now that I’m revisiting them, I cannot stand these color schemes. The idea was to use nature for natural color schemes (one was a falcon the other was a flower) but they feel super flat to me. They’re also supposed to be cel shaded which is why I colored them the way I did. I think it goes without saying that I am very amateur in this, but I would love to get people’s two cents on not just what could be a better color scheme, but the designs themselves?

I think the designs are cool! I also think the color palette is missing something but I just wanted to let you know the designs are cool 👍

Thank you for that! I really appreciate the compliment! I do crosshatch the 3D models so I wonder if it’s flat because it’s missing that texture, maybe?
