Really enjoying the color of hair you gave him, almost this dusty-blonde shade, it goes well with the his name and gives off the idea that he is a builder, sorta like he has been in a shop carving, building,crafting and dealing with wood-chips and sawdust. Also the idea of having the armor become more intricate and detailed as it reaches new heights is mint. Like I said earlier, the palette is great as well, in addition to the way it was applied to the character. I agree that the boots need to be reworked for sure, however, you mentioned that knee-guards were a good source to look to and so I completely agree with that. I tried to give them a "armor plate look" as well as seeming strapped on to his leg. The scarf could be really cool in combat too, maybe its not as long as i drew it, maybe its just a tail off of his shoulder, because I totally agree with the rhythm it could add to the movement. I am going to work more on Merle for the time being, at least until we can discuss more about plot and structure. It is very important to have a really solid main character and we are well on our way to having one.
I also had the idea of giving him overalls, not ones that look like a pair that a farmer would wear, just more like a mechanic maybe. Not many characters have them so it would at least be different.
