So, in the last poll we voted between 2 designs on the left elbow. It was really tough for me because I liked both designs, and even more, Patron's voted overwhelmingly for 3 spikes, and YouTube members voted overwhelmingly for 1 spike lol. Both sides left very reasonable and good points to me, so I wanted to try see if I could find a middle ground.

Basically, the argument for 3 was (It looks cool), the argument against it was (It looks too much, and attracts too much attention away from his body. So, I reorganized the proportions a little bit, and reduced it from 3 to 2, and made them a little smaller overall.

This is the result, and I believe it's not too crazy, but it's detailed enough to be unique and cool. I'm pretty happy with it now, I feel like we got the best of both worlds, so thank you everyone for voting and sharing your reasonings!

Wait, did you say people were worried a design element on the elbow would distract from the rest of the body? Kind of a wierd argument, I'd say, considering you just end up killing the bad guys anyways, and having certain elements more attractive than others, even away from the main body, is a common thing on a lot of characters in video games.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure when you're playing the game, none of the details will get noticed lol But, Of course when you get to see a still-shot picture, that's when it's easy to get lost in the small things. I kind of see these little details as part of the art process. Every game artist knows that 90% of all the details are going to go unnoticed during the gameplay, but we still try to make every cloud, tree, mountain, and piece of armor to the best of our ability, it's kinda sad sometimes :(
