I like his face and props to the chain-mail! It just seem like there should be more of it. Perhaps you could make it look more layered by throwing some clothes on him.
Very cool and original! BTW - I think a wider angle lens would give the composition more depth… 20mm and push?

thanks for lending a fresh eye guys,
Vancross, i like the idea of putting some cloth drapes / clothes etc im fighting a big file size at the mo so im playing with decimation master, see if that helps…
Ls3D, thanks for the fore head slapping moment ! i always forget to play with perspective, heres a fresh one fresh out of Zb 
hahahah… he’s great.
small clumpy hands would have fitted him better, imo.
maybe you could brak up the symetry a tad more. think it’s quite visible in the head.
looking foward to see your next one.

I agree with the above comment; the obvious symmetry is at present letting the piece down.
nice work on the chest plate and the chainmail.
always wanted to have a go at chain mail but never had the right project…
keep em comin Col…
Col…your a bloody show off!.
Hey…try cinema 4D…its a breeze if you want to do the mental ay thing.

thanx for the input guys!
rasmusw & gray_slayer, yep i know what you mean, symmetry is just sooo addictive im trying to ween myself away, maybe i spent too many years doing it the real way !! 
thanks Martin, i always value your input
you too Peter, thanks ive had a little look at cinema 4D, but not really delved into anything other than this Z thingy & photoshop so far …
ok i had another one in me, wanted to try one with perspective and the background knocked way back, im calling him done (for now !!)
Nice job man!!!
Looks cool…great job!
hhahaha… i actually thought of that when i came home. this must somehow be a huge revelation to you guys who done it the “real” way. heheheh

There’s probably nothing wrong with your workflow, and it’s a great way to pack details into both sides of the model simultaneously. I’d just recommend an extra pass to improve any areas of obvious mirroring. You can further improve this with texture differences, of course. Look forward to future posts.
