My first OC

Hey there! I like the character! :) However, the perspective feels a little off, as does the structure of the character and/or the forms of the armor. My recommendation would be to establish a solid base before you start painting, where the perspective and forms are clearly readable. For the character base, you don’t need anything super detailed, just something simple like what I’ve drawn, so you can then build the character’s armor on top of it. :) But always keep the perspective in mind and make sure the forms of the armor are clearly defined. Avoid drawing or painting the armor as one simple mass. :) Hope this helps!

The sword looks lop-sided. Making sure the handle is at the same angle as the blade will keep this from happening. Making sure to respect the angles even when it isn't perfectly straight up and down to prevent the blade from feeling detached.
