hello, after making my 2d drawing i have left,right,front and back versions of it. Something about the colors does not sit right with me. (even though it is suppose to be the water varient of what i am making thus the blue) I guess what i am trying to say is how to get the colors more vibrant or cartoony or i cant explain the look i want just feels like it needs something before moving to the animating stage, advice on what it needs please.

I would vary your color palette and add a contrasting color. such as my photo.

I broadly agree, even if you don't want secondary and tertiary colours, your current pallet lacks dynamic range. The entire image is relatively dark, and the vast majority sits on the darker end of the range.  I'd suggest that just icreasing the lightness range would improve its immediate recognition .
