I think he looks a lot better without the trans-orange shells on his waist, and he doesn't look super thin like you would think. The reason I put them there, however, is because without them you can see a hole through the middle of the torso which I needed to fill in somehow. Later today I'll post 2 more versions, one with the shells in a different orientation which I feel looks better, and one without the shells at all. Also, I went for the gold armor pieces because he looked rather bland without them, I'll post pictures of that, too.
