Neolis back again

I like the freehanded pattern on the shield.
white highlights under scratches on the shield are too thick. dark lines represent damages (like after being hit with a weapon), white lines represent light on the edge of scratch. if these two lines are of similar thickness, it looks unnatural.
face - darker line around whites would make him look less scared

the skin shade looks too earthy imo.
brown armour - transitions could be smoother.
good too see you painting again
