Yeah you are getting there.Although clearly with Hamata in mind it seems you kinda took a bit of inspiration from the Witcher 3's Wolf School Armor that has this weird...chainmail on leather suqare plates kind of thing.Now the Witcher is not a bad inspiration but if you want something more practical look to the NPC armors. Those are really good.I think what you need to do is basically find a way to draw chainmail better. This looks more like a chicken wire fence then armor. Because dont forget, every single one of those lil square gaps is a potential risk of being penetrated by a spear or a projectitel.Just go with this basic shape, with the pauldrons first:Then you can add your decorations, that for some reason I dont remember what they are called...You can pretty much have any kind of decoration on them that firts your character.Dont forget the Pugio too or the bronze dagger that each legioneer has.Your gladius can use some work but nothing major really. You will get there.Here is a comprehensive chart of helmets you can choose from.Here is a picture of an ACTUAL scutum or shield minus its bossYou also got Lorica Plumata in terms of armorAnd the Musculata:Now a few nitpicks:You might wanna streamline the straps that the "coins" are on and not make them as many, just look at the examples above and make them fewer so they can fit all of the decorationsThe shield dosent have straps to wrap around your wrist, it has a boss, which is that little bulding piece of metal you see in the front, it houses and protects your hand in the back so you can hold the shield and bash more effectively.You might wanna make the helmet a bit more "furry" oriented to better protect his face.The side flaps should probably be angled and longer to accompany the side of his lower jaw.Maybe give it a small nose guard that extends from the middle of the brim to the tip of his nose too. Just as an afterthought.Last but not least, dont leave him open like that, Keep the shield close to the body so it can do it's job:And finally another sword alternative you can consider, although its a very late period sword is the Spatha.Kind of the ancestors of all Viking and later Medieval armin swords.
