My only problem with this is the differences in rendering make it lack in cohesiveness, feels like stuff found from different sources through together. I think this would look a lot better if the same linework approach done to the face/beard was carried throughout the whole design. To me the 3dimensional elements are really throwing this off.

thanks @thestray. I wasn’t 100% sure on the helmet and engravings. I can’t seem to get it right with line work. thanks for the comment.

i also think what i like best about this is the hand drawn element that the face has. the rest is all great conceptually but i would like to see it have a more hand-drawn feel to match the face.
