Cool character! Perfect for a NPC! The colors you chose would fit for a point-and-click adventure game.

Great drapery and lighting :)

 nice art man

 Thank you :)

 I think the detail in this pieces is great. Very good!

Very very good

Would love to see some of the nice light purple of the larger one pulled across into the pants of the smaller one, pretty nice regardless of course.

 DatMuffinMan, I changed the colours so many times, in the end I thought that the gold was too bright, so tried to tone it down a bit.  I appreciate the critique, thanks.

 Mandrill, I'll play around with the speculars. I kinda played around with a few things here for the first time and wasn't really sure how to tackle the speculares. The parts that I worked the most on probably look the most polished in this, but that might come down to me not being patient enough and moving on to other parts to soon. It is something I'm getting better with over time though.

Maxaun, I didn't really want to do to much AA on the outside because of pixeljoints various coloured themes, but I do think this needs more inner AA. I've actually just spotted a few places that could use some AA, and I'll get onto that as soon as possible. 

I had no idea what a cuirass was, looked it up, thanks for educating me :) And I'll work on improving that before the deadline.

 I totally agree, and I'll work on that on my next pieces.

 You have improved so much and your effort here really shows. I can see you are almost getting the cluster/areas concept even if unconciously which is great. Your pixels have always suffered most from uncontrolled areas of color.

 Stunning.... This is fantastic dude!

 I love the colours, the tweaks really seem to give it a bit more of a gritty feel. I saw a few of the WIP shots in the challenge thread but it looks even better finished. This makes me want to start on something for the challenge.

 I think at some point you lost the pleasant warm tones on the gold, and that changed 'em into a colder/dirtier color. Still nice, but I think the older palette for the armor was a bit nicer. 

 This will have my vote for sure, amazing work here! Congrats!

A bit of a messy style on the bigger ones, but it works. Looks great. :)

Absolutely worth the work. Excellent piece!

A colour change on the speculars to a brighter highlight and refining the clusters would make it even better.

Very impressive. Reflected lights on the arms are really great. You've got my vote

Looks like you could use a little bit more refining though. Like applying AA everywhere and adding more gloss to the golden cuirass. 

Great.  I actually like your preview ones more. 

 Well played on the preview being 3 extra credit points. Got a vote from me, good man.

Great job. Saw all the WIP's in the forums, too.

 This is great! I guess you weren't allowed to put the smaller versions next to the big ones due to the contest rules? That's kind of a shame. The effort definitely shows!

 I saw your progress in the forums. So far, including what I've seen in the forums, this one's my vote to win.
