So I got in one of those occasional detail-trigger-happy moods. I sketched the lineart for this yesterday and I liked the overall comp so I scanned it in to clean it up. Originally I was just going to post it with a simple gradient fill but the more I looked at the armor the more it bothered me that I didn't plan any of the freaking marks. So I went detail-overboard. Lots and lots of little details. Haven't done this kind of stuff for a long time.
Anyways it was fun to do and I like the result (I'll hate it in a week).
Hope you guys like it.

I dont remember how long the lineart took since I was kinda mindlessly drawing it off and on yesterday while hanging out with some friends, but the photoshop stuff was about four hours.
