Ok, so this is my entry for the Chilvalry Contest.
As a main reference I want to make a set for the Agatha Vanguard, containing a spear resembling Longinus Spear from Evangelion, but adapting trying to make it more less fantastic, but I like the idea of two twisted blades on a lance. For the helm I'm based on the roman helm, with a more medieval aspect

    I like your ideas. But currently I think your helmet looks too much like a knight's instead of a vanguard's. And that's one of the requirements, to have a recognizable class shape. Maybe keep the general ideas of the helmet but shift the silhouette to more closely match the vanguard's class.
    I really like that spear though, good luck with the competition.

    Like jackalope stated, the helmet identifies as the knight. I think you could make some tweaks though to have it fit the Vanguard more. Have you referenced the different classes helmets? I found it really useful

    You were totally right, gentlemen, The first sketch was too suited for the Knight class, thanks for pointing that :)
    So I made another aproach with the same idea, but trying to maintain a more vanguard style shapes. I think not it fits better the class requirement.

    So, there's the new version, I'm not sure if I'll be puting the Gorgel (Protective part around neck) in this second design.

    @Pariah: I have in mind an Spear for now, the fork is a more short and fast weapon. I think a Longinus based weapon should be long and powerful blowing, fits more like a spear. But I don't know, I'll have it in mind when I go to the weapong design ;)

    Better, I would say go without the gorgel. Maybe let it slope a bit more in the back like the roman legion helm.

    So I made a blocking, too see how it fits in 3D. Without gorgel for the moment, no plans on making it for now.
