I really like this one! Although I am biased because of the theme as well, but hey. Looks pretty cool to me.

I'm glad you like it, though looking at him again a few days later, I'm like JESUS his feet look huge.
I'm super out of practice with traditional art, there's no saving grace like layers and "undo" and resizing and all that good stuff ;3; hahaha

The ripped paper is fine, I could crop that out then copy paste that error away in like 3 minutes or less.

Also I don't really think the legs look that wonky, honestly this looks way better than the reference so I'd say its great.

Overall this turned out very nicely. I like the combination of armor and tunic, how it's not too over-complicated but there's enough detail to really make it interesting looking.

Also I like the difference in traditional shading between the brighter and darker sections.

So yeah, I really like this one. Great work.
