Red could pop a little more but still nice

Did some work on his chest and shoulder armor. Still gotta fix some lights and shadows but here's his current state.

Built a photobox real quick and made some new pictures. Paintjob wasn't touch between the last image and the new one but it should look a bit more natural now and now over-shiny.

Is the hood already finished? I think it could be better with more highlights. The armour looks good!

thanks mate. Still need to clean up and tweak the armor a bit but so far I'm happy with it.

Not sure about the hood and scarf though I already highlighted up to Red + Skintone adding more white or any skintone would leave me with quite a pinky highlight, don't want it to get orange either (it's still cloth) but I'll figure somethin' out but any hints are appreciated

Well, I think you can try add more white+skintone or white to the top lights, you know little bit overdo it, and then unify it with a lot diluted colour/glazes of middle tones (your red).... Anyway I like smooth shading on it.

Tried to increase the highlights/contrast a bit on his hood and scarf by overdoing it slightly - I must say I like it. It doesn't look realistic but gives the eye something to look at. But I might dampen the lights a bit with some thin red glazes, not sure yet.

Also did some shadows and lights on his leather in the middle and started painting his skirt.

I also did a greyscale pic to see how the contrast looks - well it sucks according to that picture
