No offense at all Thomas, appreciate the crits very much.
That reference of Washington from AC3 has been a big point of inspiration for the mood of this sketch for sure (lighting/pose).
The first few prep drawings I did were 3/4 views but they felt kind of flat and didn't have enough emotion (maybe it was just shitty costuming on my part). I felt like I'd be able to more clearly sell the "Arthur" character with him on a throne, and try to pull that off without sacrificing much in terms of his costumes details.
Maybe I should re-evaluate what the goal of this series is... and work more earnestly towards cool concept/design than traditional painting/illustration.
Here's my full reference sheet I should have included with my first post:
