Thanks for the feedback, have an oc I can draw?
>Especially some of the lines on the arms and boots feel unnecessary and distracting to me
Yeah I get you. I tried experimenting more, but I'ma be honest I still kept some fluting cause it might not seem like it, but originally his design was heavily based off german gothic armor which has a lot of details. I reworked the leg armor and tried to balance the fluting more so as to not have too many lines everywhere. If by boot you mean the foot armor yeah I can take away the sabatons. From what I've read sabatons are used mostly for mounted knights to protect the feet but slow down infantry, and since he fights both dismounted and unmounted either should be okay for him.

Yeah I agree the 1st matches the most, I couldn't really come up with anything to replace them anyway. They're just there to hang his cape, and to give him shape or character. I did try resizing and editing it over time because when I did a comic I had to think about drawing it from different angles and obstruction.
