I checked the dreadlord skin to see what u were talking about w/ all the purple, and only the cloth elements between their armor is purple. Their actual chestplates are black, and the Tichondrius skin has entirally black and gold with no purple, so at least change some of the armor to black.
The dreadlocks look pretty bad, see if you can isolate each one one by one and add better highlights and shadows on them, right now they look a little flat. And if they are supposed to be made of flesh, make them the same color as his face - they look like a bad attempt at periwinkle hair.
The way the model wraps the eyes is a little akward, you should rotate the eyes down a little so on the wrap they look more natural, a 45 degree offset is a little much. Besides, it's not like u have to put up with blinking animations or anything, that used to be a blindfold.
If you want to make his armor look more epic, isolate all the golden bits in a selection or put them on a new layer, then go crazy with the burn and doge tools (or whatever you have avalible on the program you are using). The more contrast you put on there the more shiny the golden bits will look, which adds a new layer of epicness
If your going to say the blades were forged from hellfire at least make them look more baddass, add runes or make them look like they just came out of the forge with white-hot ends and such, or a whole bunch of little serrated edges. Now they look sort of meh
Add a little more shaddows to his pants, the dread lord skins go to black shaddows with their cloth elements.
The ears are still elvishly large - dreadlord's arn't that big. Just a minor thing though, if you can alpha out the tips of them to make them dread- lord pointy ear stile go for it. If not it's just a minor issue.
