[3/5/2022] Southern warrior - Helmet experiments

Very cool stuff. Love how this fellow is coming along.

How freaking cool!

Ooooh!!! He is looking great!! I especially love those low angle shadowy shots. Beautiful!

Jeezey Pete, you've been on fire with this. That's some awesome work!

Thanks a lot

Thanks sir, glad to educate you. One step at a time.

I am experimenting with the helmet.

Metal flaps


Metal flaps and face shield


Leather layered neck guard

The armor and helmet look excellent.
I like the helmet with open face and metal neck guard the most.

Honestly I like all the helmet options. The open face and metal neck guard gives it the most Samurai-like look, which might be too on the nose for your fantasy world. I would say, make more than one of these warriors, and give each of them one of the several helmet variants. That would provide both continuity and individuality between them. Similarly, with other weaponry and equipment.

Really cool that arm armor, I personally like the helmet with the neck protection more, though the full face one is also good, specially if you where to draw a scary face on it or something.

So many different options for the helmet. Pretty neat.
