CGMythology's Sketchbook

I am not sure about the armor so far because of how you should be thinking about what kind of color are reflecting on them for example the shoulder guard is blue due to reflecting the sky as it face mostly up but when it come to the gauntlet as much blue doesn't make sense as it should reflect more earthly tone.Also the specularity isn't there yet.I say go with more white tone with a brush with some opacity on it to erase some of that blue color on the shoulder since your sky seem more white than blue.You can also add stronger blue where the armor face section of the blue clothing also account for some bounce light for object that are reflecting and pretty close.Switch you hue reflection from blue toward the top and earth torn toward the bottom and mix what ever color is near the object into the color mix.Armor are one  those subject matter where understanding of light is important to the next level.

I added a little paint over so you don't have to struggle to much about the mental image of what i mean. Here i didn't add yet any of the earthly tone yet. I just play with some burn and dodge brush with and a low whitish brush soft with a flow around 1% to 5% to calm those still to blue reflection.


Edit after looking at reference i strongly suggest reworking the armor section entirely there is just simply way to much saturation going on in my opinion.So i think the big big take away for both of us is more more and more reference it can prevent us from going to much toward were own tendency.
