This armor is probably intended to be ceremonial. Can you imagine charging out into the battle field with this cumbersome number on? Maybe it's made of really very light mystical metals that wouldn't be too heavy to bear while tackling/slashing/maiming his opponents? Maybe.
Normally, I try to create a story with each and every image I draw so that I can somehow justify certain design choices. And on occasion I purposefully go for flair. Ridiculous amounts of flair. It's fun and allows me to practice designing outside of the practical.
Lame excuses, folks - that's all I have.

I love the mechanical bits you add and the idea of making a backstory for the drawings you make! I am going to try to do the same!
Very interesting sketch! He looks almost robotic.
Hey Eric, I am always extremely impressed by your technique. By far, you have been of great inspiration to me and my work. Thanks for posting these marvelous work of arts on here so I can view when I am having a dry run!
I thought it might be a stylin' portable slingshot. He is followed by a tiny berserker dwarf on the battlefield, and when the time arises he sticks a rubber band between the shoulder pads and is shot from his back onto unsuspecting foes. And he looks cool doing it.
