Really liking the thought process behind the design, I hope it is helping you understand the armour.
The figure on the right pushes that bratty sensibility well with the expression - mainly with the down-turned mouth and kind of sly shape to the eyes I think. The more pointy design seems to be heading towards a more delicate and impractical feel. If you want to push it further, I think perhaps you could experiment with the body language - for instance, doing stuff like having him lifting his head to peer down his nose. You could perhaps experiment with his stance too - maybe drawing his feet closer together would make him seem more like the sort of guy who isn't really prepared for the realities of battle, is less grounded, etc.
Also there is an awesome armour reference tumblr over at http://plegarmour.tumblr.com if you are at all in need of more reference.
