Draw an armor. Need help for idea

[Cvrtis]

Hello to all, I need help. The fact that I have a problem with imagination. It's veeery big problem for me. So I want to ask you to help me.
 
I have a character.

1.

And I have to draw an armor for him. But I have NO idea how it should look. I leave here a picture with template.
What exactly I need and what no need:
- I need a simple sketch, even if You can not draw - I need just an idea, no matter what the quality of it is;
- first of all I need an armor for body (top) and head because it will be in-game content (You can see on picture - how it will be look):
    - body - just a standart armor that can be use as equipment;
    - head - it's a prosthesis (on picture you can see how "great" I can draw such things (>.<))
- if You have an idea for hands and legs - I will be very, VERY glad! But it's optional, because it will not be in game - for poster or bonus picture, or character book,.. maybe.
    - hands and legs armor - it'a prosthesis too (NOTE! If You draw a fingers - it should have four fingers).

-  the work should be authentic, Your own (and of cource I give credits on You)

- I think it should be a fantasy style, but I could be wrong   
 
- Please, no need to take for idea any others work! I hope for your honesty! You will not help me if take some picture from "Deviant", or "Tumbl", or somewhere else and redraw it.

- as I sad: I no need a super-mega-GREAT art - just an idea, how you see an armor for caracter (it can be one simple small detail, but it can become an interesting detail!);

- no sci-fi stile, please, no steam-post pank stile, please.

I hope it's all

Go for the tail (me loves tails, too ) + this keeps the long hair option open for further use...i.e. status, mood, expression change, facesetting, and promo-graphics.

Brain-Mix-Maxing-Devices would be awesome assets   You are an talented artist whilst I'm currently able to 'imagine' how this armor might look like I realy suck at drawing anything above a weird disfigured matchstick man.

I might give it a try nonetheless thanks for your encouraging in the last paragraph.

So here comes my final question (forgive me for being a dumba...) =)

??

So basically this guy has left no forearms, and no lower legs/feet and about half of his face is gone. The 'original' body parts had to be replaced by some magic or low-tech devices

OR

are this parts of his body just so seriously harmed / distorted that he chooses to wear some armory / mask type gear to hide from view and most essentially to keep strength in battle...

So sorry for my 'bad' english but if I think about armor style and moreover the used materials that was the first question which popped up in my mind as to clarify the original purpose for him to be equipped with a sort of prothesis.

Like think of an sort of mana / magic driven variant of an cybernetic prothesis / organism vice if his 'flesh is all gone'

Or on the other hand something like a low-tech armor to wear over your arms/legs to both stay strong allthough your are disabled and be equipped with a kind weapon for combat...

Thank You for answer!

This!

So basically this guy has left no forearms, and no lower legs/feet and about half of his face is gone. The 'original' body parts had to be replaced by some magic or low-tech devices

He has no forearms, he has no lower legs, he has no half of his face.

Actually, I wanted to make a different variations from low-tech to high-tech (as soon as possible in fantasy world  )

For example, his first armor I planned like eeeeh... knight's armor with a little magic in them (otherwise he could not have used them withouth arms and legs), because he has no other choice. Something like that:

https://www.google.ru/search?q=%D0%B4%D0%BE%D1%81%D0%BF%D0%B5%D1%85%D0%B8&newwindow=1&rlz=1C1BLWB_enRU544RU622&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjNk_KXp4bKAhUFvXIKHbD1AGAQ_AUIBygB&biw=1268&bih=736 - it will look quite comical, but on the other hand, hardly anyone of the players wants to laugh at a man with such a disaster.

Then, of course, it is more "convenient" options to replace missing body parts.

And at this moment I have problems begin with imagination 

1. But I clearly imagine that I do not want to make from him a cyborg or a half-robot. Of course, the prosthesis - it is something mechanical, but no need to show mechanical elements on it (like wires, gears or something similar) like in steam-cyberpunk style.

2. His weapon is his own power without any mechanical intervention - perhaps magic with any buffs - no more. He admits only human power, that's why he hate his prostheses, that's why he never set an artificial eye, for example. His head prosthesis only covers his face. And he never allow to make the gun from his hand. His armor is secondary always.

3. I also do not want to make him a character like in many asian mmorpg with unlogical armor and weapon. No horns, no spikes, no tails. Yeah, I sad in topic - "fantasy", but without the absurd.

4. Ideally it should be a something simple that the player believe, takes for granted and probably will not attach importance. Without any "bells and whistles". I do not want to achieve the "wow"-effect.

"You have prosthesis? Sad. We will not focus on this." "Needs an upgrade? Nope? Sorry, man, but You need. A little sufferance today - and you'll feel better tomorrow."

Huh, You know, I am afraid that if there was anyone who wants to help - now I'm frighten away them all 

But these requirements only for me, just to show how I bother about this issue. You can follow these wishes or not. Maybe you had an idea, but you read it and refused this idea - and I lost something interesting. Because different people have different ideas about the same things. And maybe, something you refused, just what I need.

You can write to me in a PM - I accept all the offers.

UPD. You know, I thinked about a force magic - and I admit it. Perhaps some armor allow to use a certain kind of magic more effective - but! - an armor not a generate that magic. For example "cryonic" armor increases the chance of stun or slowdown.
