I'm trying to represent him in a symbolic way, while avoiding his physical stature and pose (If that makes sense). Adding his pauldron would mean I'd have to add the rest of his torso armor before it seems like it would destroy the look and style I'm trying to get.
I want this to be the kind of thing where if you have no knowledge of what it is trying to represent, it looks mysterious and you are incognizant of it, but if you do know what it is trying to show then you see it right away, much like a silhouette.
Maybe kind of counter productive of wanting feedback but it was an art style I wanted to try.
I figured the lighting of the cloth was acceptable as is, but if someone wants to show me otherwise then please do (I frequently have a hard time with lighting directions). Also in retrospect of the hair, it does look somewhat rigid and frail.
