I loved the idea and the realization of
Exray made by Diplomacyman and wanted to try my hand at it.
I am still new to the use of image elaboration for illustration, so while this first try is not so great, but I would still like some feedback.
I post here the original screenshot and two elaborations of Rhodium Knight, my first Lvl.40, a magitech power armour hero:

I think that second one looks fantastic! How did you get that effect (are you using photoshop?), it reminds me a bit of the Gouache style used in kingdom come. The only thing I'd say is to perhaps use a different background than from the screenshot, that way the filter doesn't run across the background and you can blur it out to focus on the character.
Anyways that what I found worked for me things may click differently for you, but best of luck man and keep at it.

In the image below a quick side by side comparison where I treid to keep the details more than I did in the OP. Where, by the way, the sun is just the effect of the filter on the added lens flare
