Armour

[meat]

You have good eye for details there on the armor. Nice rendering! A bit too early for the details maybe. Material definitely looks shinier, but has a tin or aluminum feel to it. You need to make some of the bigger edges sharp and clean to make the material seem and feel like hard steel armor. Just some. Run a test by saving a JPEG copy, make it small, and paint over that using a hard edge brush, so you can see how that look and feel quickly. The longer you drag the painting process out, the more you'll feel like the sharp edge looks wrong and start smoothing things out.

I'm not good at painting armor either, and never in color, but I gave it a try at paintover. If nothing else it should show what I mean by sharper edges...
