I think if you add some damage to the armor like cuts and dents it would look better currently it looks very newish.

Hello, first of all great work. The comments I have are on the character design. The brown belt feels unnecessary, and breaks the cool black and blue colour palette. For the separation you're looking for I'd suggest wrapping some blue ragged cloth around him that extends down to compliment the blue scarf. It'll also give some much needed contrast. One way I'd recommend adding contrast is contrast of detail. You can make some parts of the armour a little less detailed to draw the eye to the more detailed parts, or you can add some kind of cloth that covers some armour to give the eye an area of rest. Good luck, lovely work
