Hey, I was wondering when I'd see you start up a thread! I follow you over on tumblr.
This is looking fantastic already. Bookmarked and looking forward to seeing your progress!

Hey, you're the guy who did the awesome infested syandana! Helmet looking just as tasty so far.

Gosh, thanks you guys!

I tried some color blocking on it and haven't really felt confident enough to post any of it here so I went back and did a paintover to see if I could get the shapes to flow more coherently, and I'm really enjoying this new direction. Can't wait to get sculpting on the changes tomorrow

A bit more progress on this guy

Happy to see you're in here Kaz!  Definitely has your style's finger prints, just feels unified with the other Exc helms that have been done.  Look forward to seeing the final

Moving on to textures/tintmask today

Got a lot of progress done on my textures today. Here's one of my own color combos:
tint 1 - green
tint 2 - darker pink
tint 3 - brown
tint 4 - yellow
energy - bright pink



And here is what the default Excal colors look like:


Will probably  be wrapping this project up tomorrow. Some tweaking left yet.

Arturius has become the final name for this piece. This name may have been what became King Arthur later, and directly translates from latin to "plowman" which is very fitting of a wedgehead. I just put it up on the Steam Workshop

Turned out beautifully! Great work.

I got a slew of feedback once I put it up on the Steam Workshop, and decided to rework a few areas. I'm done now! For real!
