Scarab Game Document - Cover

Something new really, I've not tried Painter before and this is literally after 45 minutes of getting to grips with the program.. It's strange, I found it difficult to find what I call a "simple brush", and so was essentially bombarding the canvas with whatever was giving me the desired effect..

Still, This is a rough of my game cover, It's iconic enough to stand out, and incorperates all you need to know.

Single "character", alone, no support.
Barren background, Hot with no clouds. Stark sunlight.
Battle worn armor, chipped and beaten.
Helmet: The icon of the game, the thing I want to stand out. "Ah, thats a Scarab".

Helmet designs have always been really important on masked characters. Samus Aran's visor is enough for someone to recognise. Master Chief's is the same. Storm Trooper helmets, ect. I want that same iconic symbol to feature throughout my game, I just hope that this helmet pulls that off.
