I love the big eye, that looks like it's looking at you, but I think it's a shame you placed a skull on the right hand side, and not another big eye - like that the whole armour would have looked like a demon face that's looking at you.
It looks a bit like you didn't really know how to continue further down and improvised a lot. This leaves the picture as a visually very nice overall composition, and it's fascinating to look at all the details. For an armour I think these tentacle like arms are a bit too "random" and wild though. Maybe it would have been nice to make more of the person/being inside the armour visible in the lower part of the picture, and stick to the "plate like" structure.
Overall it's a stunning picture that's nice to look at, and think would result in a brilliant piece of art with a few more theoretical/technical thoughts (which, let's be honest, often are put aside when drawing for fun on a train ride).
However, first impact is terrible confusing, but you recognize what it should be - an armor-theme. A full-body few would be nice to get the whole impact of the armor to see its "true powers" and to fulfill the complete set of the armor.
In my opinion, it's an organic feeling, comes from the "tentacles" or whatever those weird things are... if it is used in any game, animation etc. it would be really nice to see those eyes and tentacles moving, maybe even a little "secret" that any skull is biting from time to time... so, my impact is, that this is would suit both, "daemon-armor" and "organic-armor"... if it's ending up as an organic-armor, may you add some veins - I do not want to effect you, just a thought of mine.
Badly, I'm out of knowledge where the armor is used, in a completely fantasy-environment or "just a fantasy-world with daemons"? I'm more a fan of impressive armor with hidden techniques and a load of thoughts by its design... an example, the horns almost touch each other, almost of the same height of his eyes... quite useless in my opinion and not that warrior-style... if they fulfill any safety-aspect, give it more thoughts to those... and if he tilts his head, he will stuck very soon on his shoulders...
Different from the shoulders, they are plated to ensure his full agility... maybe not the whole movement if he want to raise his hands backwards (to swing his sword/whatever as powerful as possible) - but I can't tell exactly at this point of few.
And at the art-critique, well it's a doodle... but rarely to see that detailed doodles... even the big eye has a reflection, some basic-shadows are there too... as a doodle quite an art.
A short feedback to my ratings:
Vision:
I would like a full-body-few even more.
Originality:
Well, those teeth remind me on the dragon-plate armor from skyrim, those eyes on Cat-eyes or Sauron from LotR, the organic feeling like the tentacles from the Video-Game "Pray"... but a nice mixture and quite nice.
Technique:
Mhh, the draw-technique really well, yeah missing depth and stuff isn't needed for a doodle so it's difficult to rate this...
the design-technique is cool-looking but not that useful to me, and I like armors which are really useful and well concerned.
- since this is a doodle I can't rate the art-part equal with the other critiques of other pictures... so this rate is pointless, at least to me.
Impact:
A bit confuse, because this overload of details, no colors - only b/w - but hell, amazing!
