JosephCow: Thank you! I think the halo adds to the fantasy theme so I'm keeping it :D I fixed the shoulder area as suggested and implemented all your feedback. You make a good point regarding focusing too much on line in the beginning, but I feel I'm more of a natural painter than a line artist, so I'm purposely forcing myself to spend as much time in the sketching phase as possible. Thanks again for your input!
cicakkia: Thanks, glad you did the Assassin's Creed - inspired piece! Also altered the shoulder a bit, hope it looks more natural now!
Hobitt: Excellent suggestion, just implemented it!
darktiste: Great point; In general I tend to keep things clean early in the process, but I'll definitely add dirt and more texture towards the later progress.

Today's update, refined the sketch based on the feedback received and began the painting process. The silver armor was tricky, in general I like to use desaturated tones when painting silver or metal, but I tried to keep in mind that the material is reflective so I added some blues and greens on the coloring, will push the colors and values even further as the image progresses. Any input is appreciated as always!
