I'm...so very unimpressed with this.
He's off-model and the pose is static, I slapped on one of my random green backgrounds so now he's been eaten by a shrubbery and don't even ask about the armour.
There is more green in the armoud than you can see so he doesn't stick out QUITE so much but that's about it.
suggested inking over it or using an indigo coloured pencil...which I might, after going over with a few details in an effort to salvage it.
I started out happy to try it and by the time I finished it pretty much wanted to cry. This is what happens when I get confident.
I'll be in my corner if you need me.

This is effing SEXY. Totally in agreement with
tamaron - "Inking" over it with an indigo colored pencil seems like a brilliant idea, tbh! And this looks GREAT, I promise. The indigo pencil will make your lines pop, and he will no longer be engulfed by the shrubbery after that. XD
I can't wait to see!!

Watercolor can be a bitch, I'm just now getting the hang of the basics.
The armor/chainmail texturing is -really- good. Especially the left pauldron and the sleeve. I think your friend is right, this can likely be salvaged by using some pencils over it to make it 'pop'. Right now it looks like a rough under painting, and I think it will look much better with some detailing on the edges.
Don't hate him, just look at his smarmy grin! D=
