I was told that the armor looks like a suit because it is too "tight" and not bulky enough.
So here's my last attempt:

EDIT 3:
Made the gold cross crossier and goldener:

EDIT 4:

Very good stuff! I like your progress. Personally, I don't like how your darkest gray takes up so much of your characters side. I like your shading but maybe that dark gray should be lighter. Just my opinion.

I agree with the above poster, it feels incongruent with his facial lighting. Would work well for moodwork, though, like how undertale did it in the undyne encounters.

With that being said, I did try to make it less prominent:


EDIT:
Progression:
I am going to stop working on it further, and instead do some enemies or something
