I can't believe this was posted a week ago and no one has commented on it !

Great piece, the wings give it a Banksy esq appeal. I'm not sure all the lighting ties together 100% but I like the concept and the and the armour !

Here's the characters front&back

The fractions opposing the absolute rule of Pope Maximillian VI grew stronger, and pilgrims were routinely slaughtered, sometimes by the hundreds, as they attempted to make the journey from the coastline at New Jaffa into the Holy Land. Encouraged by the new developments, in the Easter parts of the planet Sect's ware uniting and New Jihad, it seemed, was inevitable.

its pretty good mate. but there are a few things that need sorting all mainly with the suit.


he needs a more dynamic pose/camera angle

the eyes are too far apart. (if he's human)

he'd find it impossible to twist his torso cos the midrif armour would intersect with this thigh armour.

he'd find it impossible to bend forward, as the abdomen plate isnt segmented.

he has no space in the suit for his knees.

the subdermal silver metal. the sections are too big. he could not bend his legs unless its like chain mail?

the heels on his boots would intersect with the back of his shin armour, making it impossible to walk.

his legs are a bit too short.

its actually pretty good. just needs tweaking
