Maybe try considering the light source from your reference image. Like doing more texture on the shadow area and less in the light area making sure thoses areas are very well separate! Hope it helps!!
Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
