[Alt Helmet] – Mag – Dio

Chris Bruin

I'm really late to this party, just got started tonight! Was busy with other projects for most of the month.

Whipped some thumbs tonight, and I'll also be blocking out the sculpt tonight. 
The name of the helmet is sourced from Diode, a component on a coil gun, which the Mag Warframe has a lot of names pulled from, so I thought I'd stick with the theme. Other alternatives are Solen[oid] and Ferro[magnetic], but I think Dio fits the slimness of the character best.

I will probably be going with a mix of 1 and 10.

Feedback is appreciated!

ZA WAARUDO!!!! TOKI YO TOMARE!!!!!

Jojo jokes aside, I can't really picture how the 1 and 10 combination will work out, but once you get something sculpted I should be able to help you out a lot more.
The look you get from option 1 is more Nova's thing to be honest rather than Mag's. I suggest you play around with 2, 3, or 4 instead.

Got the blockout kinda done. I'm not personally sold on the floating elements yet, they don't seem to mesh well with the overall asthetic of the underlying helmet (even though they are bare, the silhouette doesn't work yet I feel). The interior of the translucent area will undergo some revisions before I settle on anything, as well right now it's too large and empty, so I'll be adding visual interest in this area.

Oh, that looks good!

I think the shape of the floaty bits are good, just needs something to visually anchor them a bit. Something on the base that continues the flow, I think.

I wasn't happy with how the floaty bits looked (they looked like antlers), so I removed them. I kept the main front bit, flipped it upside down, and made the head asymmetrical, I think the overall silhouette reads much clearer and is more consistent now. Still refining and cleaning up a few shapes (notably the back of the head), but I'm getting close to being done with the high poly. Bit of detail work needs to be done on the front floating bit too.

Chris Bruin

Highpoly is pretty much done, a bit more cleanup/refinements to the helmet here or there but I'm ready to start the low poly. Visor opacity will be probably around 20% transparent, and the overall size of the floating element in front might change a bit.
If you have any feedback, I'd love to hear it now before I bake out!

Amazing helmet! Gives a "swift" or "agile" vibe.

I think I'm calling this finished, here's my presentation sheet!

the difference is vague somehow in relation to a distinct style
