[TEX]Helmet like thingy WIP
WIP1
Just a WIP based on a rough concept. Still needs some polishing around the edges, mostly the outlines and shading. Some details are still missing, mainly in the golden and darker red parts. Some proportions look a little off as it was all done with a mouse (cause my tablet wouldnt work).
WIP 2
WIP 2: Reworked sides, different coloring and slightly better shading.
WIP 3
Repositioned helmet parts. More space for the face.
CnC very much welcome and encouraged

Thanks, as for the face, I'm not so sure. I have yet to decide that, and if i did, I'm not so sure what style would be most fitting. Any ideas or suggestions are welcome.

Glad you dig it.

I wanted to do something with armour while remaining a clean style. Robots and knights felt a bit to generic so I tried a slightly different approach. I went for a valkyrie, even though its more of a feminine concept I feel like it could make an interesting texture set (with joints and whatnot).
the circles on the side of the head seem out of place and don't fit the head style at all
i'd suggest replacing it with more helmet or something
lovely line work and color scheme but i think your red is a little too bright and smooth compared to the rest of the helmet parts
hope to see it completed soon

Some reference picture: *snip*
Love how clean it is so far but the sides kind of bother me. They look like a flimsy piece of metal jutting outwards. Maybe you could make the helmet as a whole? Anyway, just my thoughts, good luck :U
Yeah I'd like to make the wings/feathers more noticable without suffering much deformation when modeling the texture, have yet to figure that one out.
Btw those references are magnificent, thank you very much, I'll try make the most out of it.

I tried cleaning up those circles to make a medal/crest/something weird that still needs polishing (and possible rework as well), I'm also uncertain what to place inside the circle, I wanted to do an original design but my tablet refuses to work.
Changed the red to a slightly darker tone, GIMP still makes it look too flashy when it maps it, but ingame look alright(ish). I guess it could be recolored to match any force/relax though.

Will this be turned into a full set? It could turn out to be very interesting with a valkryie look going on.
Yeah I'm aiming for a full set if I have the time to dedicate to each texture. Have some ideas of what I want and am looking forward to.
So here goes WIP 2, with a reworked side and more details in the sides of the helmet (tried to do a flower patter in the metal). Slight color and small changes as well. Keep the CnC coming its real good as it helps me improve the quality of the texture. Thanks to everyone who contributed.
