CnC?

It seems a bit washed out, making the lighting seem off when it is correct. Try adding more color and getting rid of the monotone value, because monotone looks odd with renders. Here's some advice I got on one of my tags that I think applies more or less here.

In same way he can do light yellow,yellow and dark yellow. You see monotone things looks good in c4d tags or abstract art i agree.But when this focal or render thing is done it kinda becomes boring.:)

I like the blending and the c4d is pretty good
