There's still room for improvements. Especially the face and chaimail parts. Approved nonetheless.

No complaints on my end. Very solid skin.

Hello! Looks pretty raw, it needs more shading and highlights (what Misha said). I didn't feel the metallic texture at all - it is dull. The face's skin looks pretty dead. I don't what this is, but the brown thing around his armor looks like wood and when it is zoomed out (in game camera) it looks like the footman is naked. What I could suggest is to learn texture differences.

And heard about this: Joining the Texturing Contests - A decade too late! ?
:D

Well good luck and keep learning! <3

It was intended to be leather,not wood,but i see your point!Thank you for being honest,i'll try my best to fix it!

After playing around with it - I will add to the suggestions (if you don't mind, that is)

So, you can take it one of two ways. Make the armor leather-only (Gambeson) or go for a Coat of Plates. (see images)

In both cases - making it a bit darker and adding more pronounced shading is a must. As for the shield, I'd suggest adding an option (secondary download?) for a metal one. Just to add variety to the mix. I do like the TC on it but maybe also play around with that and more typical medieval patterns? (again, variety)
Now, what I've said is only relevant if you're going for historical accuracy. If you want to create your own, then everything apart from the shading comments can be ignored. Cheers :p
