On the elephant, the detail you put into the gold is extremely noisy and very hard to read, I would be more careful in selecting what to depict and also what should recieve normal mapping. It looks like you're pulling in a lot of reference to persian style armor, I did a simmilar thing with my general for the PC/CGchat competition but you should try to seperate some of the details with different colors, and dont have all of it raise off of the surface.
