I like him with the bare arms, but tied up boots.
The tied up boots look more like they are made for cold harsh weather,
Maybe made out of a fur.
The continuous scale is nice though, and period.
The one thing I will beg you to change is his helmet!
Saw off the horns and repaint it,
Or change it to the ocular helm,
Just PLEASE don't leave those annoying horns on.
Otherwise, excellent.
