Well, for starters, do you want the armout to be metal? if so, make it a light grey colour!

You need to learn how to shade and highlight. This will involve using dodge/burn and alter lightness/darkness tools.

I found a tutorial for you

If you look theres armour on the shoulders, so why not copy that idea kind of, try making the armour darker to fit in with the shoulders and add more detail, just like breast plates, and gems or layers of armour. I find that darker armour works better with gold outlines as the gold shows up better.
