Definitely needs more highlights and shadows. The shield could use more texture as it looks perfectly clean. Metal could be more metal it looks very dull atm and lighting is inconsistent (the lightsource is from the above). But the concept was really cool and I definitely love it as a whole. Color choices could be more solid/vibrant it looks very dead but still acceptable though because of the concept. If you are using photoshop I really recommend to add a color wheel plugin (it is really helpful to me). Oh and really cool sword

 

I can't say that I disagree with anything mentioned here, Nightmare! However, this will have to do, for now anyway. I want to move on with the Timeless Texturing "event", or whatever it is/has become. And to be honest, I'm not sure if I can muster anything better than this..! But I really do agree with the fact that the texture looks rather stale, even lifeless. More contrast would really help it!

However, if I return to it, I'll try to fix as much as I can!

The alternative version will be up later today (the cross-esque thing). I'm not very fond of the skull design, but hey, not a single shield design I've done for this sucker has pleased me!

Blargh, and I just noticed that the middle tooth could use some clean up, I'll try to fix it later today.

 

ah, so you did keep the laughing skull shield, i'd say it fits well

 

[+] Love the armor, simple yet effective.

 

Glad you like it, Panda!

Oddly enough, I've come to like it as well.

I just edited the description, but I'll fix the shield in the upcoming days and maybe fix some of the shading as well.
