AR, there's a thing that's bugging me about your Protoss/Zerg hybrid. Right now it's kind of patchy. What I mean is that it's a protoss, with zerg pieces on shoulders etc. You could try and blend them more, like make some areas where the transition is smooth.
I really can't think of anything original to do with Archimonde though, I'll keep brainstorming.
 
Heres my W.I.P.

I can't really tell from that shot, but I think the face needs more contrast.

To be honest, I don't like it very much. The colours seem too opposite for my liking. It's like mixing water elementals and fire elementals. Two totally opposite things that would look completely retarded together. Don't get me wrong, it's executed exceptionally, but the red could use some toning down - I think desaturating it a bit should do the job.
