THE_END: Mehhh how bout no shading/really bad metal everywhere

Cnp mesh is bad...its much to dark.
The armor needs to have shadows in it and to be more properly shaded.
The yellow around the metal is to flat.

Its a second attempt at skinning..
More Properly shaded..i suppose you have a point..it does look too cartoonish....

also, you did some black lines almost everywhere in the armor, im highly against that, it looks extremly bad. try blending it more into the armor, thus it would look less natural. and your shading lacks of dynanism and accuracy, pratice it a lot. i realize you're probably at your beginnings, but that shan't be a reason. try adding shading to the yellow, everything can be shaded and darkened, when it's black, then it can be grey-like. shading is very, very important, a lot of beginners understimate it.

Too cartoonish

You need to add more detail and change the wolf. I also wonder what the portrate would look like, the helmit would bent over his facial fetures and look weird.
