On the light, shiny patches... put ice spikes on the blue one. And on the red ones put flames.

give the frost frozen icey hands and the flame guy ignited hands and perhaps give a burning effect around flame and a snowy icey effect around frost

fMaybe add a short tail, and/or a third toe coming out the back... Not a Y Foot but a y Foot

Better contrast in color for flame; you could use a more vivid red, warm colors and even black to have a kind of volcanic habitat effect.

maybe you could change the spines on the frost one to icicles

Maybe add some features from animals, perhaps reptiles or fish. In my personal opinion, I would either go with catfish or an iguana.

maybe try and draw them in some more dynamic poses? they're kinda just standing there, pretty evenly balanced. if you draw them in poses that display their personalities then maybe something will come to you in their design.
They're also pretty similar and dull coloured, vary the design a smidgon more and add some colour in either the markings or the way the colour goes from dark to light.
last suguestion is to maybe not use pure black for shadows and instead use a REALY dark blue (for the ice guy) and red/ brown (for the fire guy). black and white usually deadens the picture.

Frost should have larger webs between the feet and palms to travel through snow and/or wade in water. The ice crystals on it idea is definitely good as well. To be honest though, I think the creature looks too amphibious for a volcanic environment, the ribs look too much like gills to me XD

the ice one should have ice crystal spikes on his back and the fire one should have like the same but then black (almost molten)stone.

i think the flame one should be a bit darker in color , it looks a bit too neutral to be a flame

Maybe have the flame one's "fur" or whatever be more flowy? The ice one looks fine being pointy and rigid.

Try having frost's antennae look like icicles and flame's antennae to look like flames. Also change the shape of flame's back spikes.

maybe Flame should be a little more feather to go with the 'fame' theme, and Frost be more jagged? You could also try putting their respective elements on their antennae.

I would personally recommend changing the back spikes on the red one, as they look a little too much like icicles. That's just my personal thought however.

If you're willing to play with the anatomy you could do loads of things akin to the differences between desert and Arctic species.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Differences in demeanour could also make a world of difference and be applied to their 'element', with frost being slumped and droll whereas flame would be more active and bouncy

flame feels too de-saturated, maybe add in some black to contrast the reds, like with salamanders?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
You could include a frosty aura around the frost one, and some flames coming off the flame one.

Hm, how about changing the color intensity/brightness as it goes down the body? Usually the head is the most important part of a character, so making the head brighter/lighter than the rest of the body allows for a much more focused character. (Also reducing details in the areas that aren't as important.)

Try to differentiate them a more then color, like roughness on the skin, or even anatomy wise.
