You’ll be able to do some cool textures on that matte black armor. Maybe some intricate runes and writing on it that you only catch in the light. Bring it on!

hehehe… the old day’s? 6 months ago. 
haha… Nate, you always crack my ass up. Anywho, Trav I like it so far. The one thing I want to mention is… Don’t try and be like anybody besides YOU. I know it’s hard when you draw inspiration from such good artists but those concepts look a lot like some other artists I know.
besides all that silly stuff… looks good. What else you got biotch?

Looks nice… I have an idea for the weapon. Ever seen those crosses between battle axe and mace? It’s basically something like a battle axe with 4 simmetrically placed blade’s and is used to ‘open’ plate armor 
Or maybe a sword with a waved blade? But I think the first one would fit him better…
