Hmm, thats something coming from you meta, you probably would have loved it though if it had been a recolor and Worm had come to offer his insight.
But yeah, its nice to see that you tried to redo the whole thing, but keep in mind that you probably want to use the original skin as a reference to where everything should go, thus you can see that your face is distorted on the model.
The black spots on the chest should have alpha on them
But the black on the shield should have been filled with a the same grey as the rest of the armor.
When you freehand a skin, you need to work hard to ensure that it wraps well on the model, so be prepared to work on it a lot.
