I tried to follow your advice on lighting:



edit: whoops, missed your post count uvula. fixed the legs

Part of the issue is your selective painting of details. It's harder to get across things like size, proportion, and shape (especially the legs and feet). In the pant leg from the viewer's left, you've generally laid out where it's in direct light and then in shadow, but there's very few steps in between. It's like the blocks you're working with are too big, and there's no room for articulation, especially after all that finer detail in the chainmail. What I'm trying to say is, when you break the consistency of the sense of contrast in your work, it causes the scene to look flat there.

Keep those things consistent if you don't want flat parts where there shouldn't be flatness.
