Scorpion Knight

So, this is a kind of tribute to a 16th century Croatian knight and hero from the Ottoman wars, Nikola Jurišić, who - among many other things - defended the Hungarian town of Kozseg from a 100 000 strong Turkish army with a crew of less than a 1000 men.

Anyway, his faimly crest had a scorpion on it - a fitting symbol, I think, for a tiny but fierce resistance - so I thought it would be cool to design him in a scorpion-like plate armor, together with the pointy, stinger codpiece.
