Looks nice. I think it could use a slightly different texture, but all the same, a very good piece of armor. It's the one thing we still need, so i say we ask him very very politely if we can use it. Maybe we can get a better texture for it, the current one seems a tad bit flat, but perhaps i just have a strange sense of taste in chitin armor texture.

We need this armor

Its still WIP and its the first attempt at the texture so far. So probably plenty of tweaking left to go. Just like all Hel Borne's project this will be a free to use resource when completed!

The texture seems fine, it's the material that could be tweaked, it's a bit too plastic in my opinion...

The helm and gauntlets are splendid!

The general look of the legs, body and arms is good, but you might suggest he consider thinning the material of the arm, legs and body, unless the edges are left like that to texture shadows and give depth?

The special look of the chitin armour was achieved partly because it was so thin, more like the way he has done the helm and gloves. It's form told you it was light by comparison with other types.

Also this thin material gave the impression of great strength.

If he can smoothe the materials generally and create a subtle shine thaqt might give the chitinous feel - texture from beetle carapaces might be useful - one moment I will google
