Boss fight concept

Here is the first concept of one of the characters for the boss fight.
I don't know his name yet, but he is the older one. I imagine him as a gladiator/slave who has made it through countless battles, so now he's kinda regarded as a hero amongst the community. I went with the scorpion motif for his armor, because when I was researching Roman armors, I saw a similar one, and I thought it looked awesome. :)

Part of my Polykarbon art challenge.
I tried to make him look like Aaron Eckhart, but I think he looks like Harrison Ford!
Pencil and paper, about 20 minutes.
Sorry about the quality; can't scan this sketchbook, so I have to take a picture.
