I've worked a lot more on the highlights to give it a more dramatic look and try to give a more defined focus on his face. I then changed the whole shape of the light reflections on his left pauldron and generally blended all the steel nmm to make it in a style more suitable with the rest of the piece. I also increased the yellow saturation of the gold parts to give a more "golden" and less dull feeling and finally i turned his eyes into green.
Special thanks to Francesco Farabi for helping me a lot through the process!
