Hercules Armor Design (EBC)

Art trade with Saffaye !  I got the chance to design armor for this hottie, and I also found out it's really hard for me to draw cheetahs.  The lineart for the body alone took one and a half documentaries.
Since Hercules is a newly promoted gladiator, I used 3rd party materials (iron, brass, titanium, cloth, and leather) if that's okay with you.  Also, I kept his mother's gem like you wanted!  Tell me if you want anything changed, just let me know!  I'll redesign the entire thing if need be.  Sorry about all the plates, I wanted the armor to be flexible but still protect him!
The cloth is to protect his back, while also allowing it to flex freely, as iron, brass, and titanium would be less efficient in letting his back move.  Plates are on his shoulder to allow him the move his shoulder and hind legs freely.  Leather's on his belly to protect it, because it would be horrible to get your belly ripped open.  I did the weird thing on the sides because he needs protection on the sides, but he also needs to be able to breathe easily, especially if he ever sprints.  There's nothing on his tail because it might hinder his balancing while running, and nothing on his legs to keep them light for agility purposes.
