@sarawildeart Thanks Sara hopefully it'll turn out as something alright. I have no idea how to go about tackling this really. Good way to learn though.
Anyways Here's where I am in the blocking out phase after a couple of false starts:
Originally I started out with a much more detailed basemesh I had made, but I just found it distracting and couldn't make any headway. So, this basemesh is the one I made using the same reference as the detailed one, just kind of gluing on shapes and trying out weapon types to see whats what. I think the only thing here that I actually like is the gorget. The main armour isn't working for me, nor that skirt of plates, nor I think those shoulder plates. I like the idea of the hat but think it may be better more as a stunted wizards hat made from cloth.
Another reason for going to the basic mesh was to sculpt the face from scratch since I'm still not sure whether I'll do just the mask or also the face under the mask.
I was thinking more about the concept, and I'm starting to think along the lines of "Idolslayer and Priestbreaker, the Justifer".
