Timed sketch this time. This is what I got in before I hit the mark.
I will definitely try him again. Only this time it wont be timed. He is such an awesome character... he deserves something that isn't feverishly rushed.
If nothing else this exercise taught me that I need to do more timed work.... though the focus needing to be the overall composition rather than howfasticouldfinishadrawing.
Don't ask why holy shield was sketched out.

Your coloring is just ridiculously good. I think this is an outstanding piece but I have to admit, there is one odd thing about this picture that made me chuckle. It's actually due to myself rather than anything wrong with your work, however. For whatever reason, the brush strokes on the cloth hanging in the middle of the image seem alive to me. I keep expecting them to start moving because they remind me of the pencil strokes used to animate the a-ha video "Take On Me". On the bright side, I can't think of anything more terrifying than if Tyrael pulled back his hood and turned out to be Morten Harket, their lead singer.

When I saw this I was immediately reminded of a story I read ages ago, Il Cavaliere Inesistente, by Italo Calvino, itself possibly a more philosophical variation on an older story -- both center around a knight who embodies the pinnacle of chivalry and heroism, but whose helmet is empty. In Calvino's book the message is that such a perfect man can only exist in the imagination and it calls the nature of perception and even narration into question; in the older story the gag is simpler: the knight is actually a woman, and she isn't tall enough to fill the suit! She looks out through the chainmail over the chestplate, thus leaving the helmet empty :)
