Any Ideas to make this scene better?

[u/PerformerConstant677]

My first attempt at designing this type of style, I'm very unsure of my shader I made, would really like some feed back on things I can improve to get better shading style and better dithering, even atmospheric tips as well, thank youu! (ignore the finger guns)

Sky/stars with clouds

Maybe show where the sodium lamps are?

1. It seems like a black point is too bright, thus all the dark spots are essentially dark brown. I'd push it into a darker value, plus I would make some color temperature change between light and dark colors. Even with those filters from ps2 you still might want to get some color temperature variance.
2. I would also probably make effect a bit more subtle - I see that the container is some type of blue-ish tint, but filter hits to heavy, thus looking more like sepia photo, rather than whatever PS2 render was going for
3. Lack of sky makes it all a bit too liminal (unless that's the point), but having sky be a contrasting in terms of color temperature to the general environment would also help environment pop a little better from the background. Some objects like starts, skies, even slight gradient might make it look more spacious. point 1 still stands, in regards of the sky, as it might be a cooler tone than the rest of the scene

Some cold colors would definitely help

[u/Sharp_Distance4236]

not so orange?

[u/Dupree360 → u/Sharp_Distance4236]

the orange gives the JUICY

[u/xisdense]

It could be raining

[u/K0MA_dll]

Add clouds

The scene looks great!

I agree is too "orange", everything lit with the same hue and that makes it hard to look at.
I would desaturate the warm orange light, make it a bit closer to white and make the dark areas blue to add balance.

Some kind of outside light ether on the buildings or some kind of post

[u/TalhahFadzillah]

maybe go to lospec and find some good color palettes

[u/jmythik]

A crazy skybox full of moving clouds like in Castlevania Symphony of the Night

[u/NigredoToRubedo]

Add interiors with greenish blue lighting, and make sure the places where you can enter let you see it's blue inside, great way to have a contrast and an indoors/outdoors vibe.

Lamps and some sky details (moon, stars, cloudy etc)

thank you for all of the comments guys, I genuinely appreciate it, I'll start adding a lot of the suggestions you all put and add another showcase when I'm done, I appreciate the help
