Here is my final piece,
I usually don’t draw backgrounds for my characters , so that was new for me. Definitely plan on taking environnement courses at CGMA once I’m done with my 2D character program. Anyway, it was a REALLY fun challenge. The armor is so detailed and was so interesting to render!
My only fear lies in my misunterstanding of the instructions that were given. I asked in the designated “Questions and Help” forum for this contest to clarify the rules, and it was said that ““the point was to render and design one of the 3 levels of the Golden Pharaoh X-suit as it is appearing in the small video and on the pictures, without changing the whole look The submitted piece had to retain all main elements of the skin (such as the mask, the gold color/theme, and the “noble Pharaoh” style).””
However, I see now that I stuck to the original design a lot, while other artists completely reinvented the armor’s design. I wish I had done the same, but I thought we were supposed to stick to the original design a little bit more. Oops. 
Neverthless, it was an amazing challenge and so many people came up with amazing artwork!
Best of luck to everyone!
