try doing some colour/value thumbs beforehand! i'm not the greatest when it comes to colour, but you seem to be treating it very literally-- just because something's red doesn't mean you have to paint it red! or something like that. your values are also kinda scattered. you've got the darkest tones on his shoulder, inside his sleeve, on the shadow below him and on the background behind him. meanwhile, the orb and the pants are roughly the same value, tonally, so while the bright colour definitely pops out nicely it makes it look really out of place.

and remember that you want to reserve the greatest contrasts for the focal point of the image!
