I've been a lurker here on the forums for a bit and wanted to post my most recent creation.

My original inspiration was "Son of Neptune," a bit of a "What a demigod might wear" type setup.

Constructive Criticism is welcome. I'm happy to answer questions.

I found that my image files were too big so I linked them through Imgur I hope that's okay.

First off let me say that I'd snatch that sucker up and be running the instant you took eyes off it. ;) The scales are awesome for a watery theme, and the storm over the ocean carving is fantastic. I really like the grooved lines in the abdominal plate, it reminds me of charting lines on a map. I'd like to see that taken onto the back, probably in the spot that's about the same height where you have scaling. (obviously you're not going to change it now, but it's something to keep in mind)

The thing I'm not a huge fan of is the twisted rope. While rope is obviously a nautical thing, it's also a celtic thing and it doesn't quite mesh like the rest of it. If you have thinned it out and made it kelp-like, or maybe added in rope texture (way more work of course for both of those) then it would really gel with your theme. Last quibble is the head of your sea serpent. It doesn't quite fit in with how ornate the rest of the emblem is, it's almost blank looking. I'm not sure if putting some texture on it would help, or just rounding out the shape of it.

Like everyone is saying though, incredible work!

(edited to add, I think it would be even more awesome if you added in some silver leaf to the lightning bolts, but I'd carve a practice piece with that to test that out first)
