like everyone ive been pretty excited about this war starting, i drew up my first idea a little while ago. im not sure exactly where this one is headed, but i kinda went with a cyclops with this one. the helmet has two cameras where the eye slots are, and the orb on the helmet would have an image prjected into it to help the cyclops with depth perception. the lower breathing apparatus can be removed while keeping the helmet which would confuse any witnesses of an assasination as to wheter he is a human or not, not that he would ever leave a witness alive. kind of an unfinished drwing, i weant it to look more techy and streamlined, but i think id be better up coming off with many more ideas for other chars before i decide to go with any one.

my suggestion for you at this point is to be careful about only sketching heads--you can feel like you're getting somewhere, and then before you know it, you're stuck, because you have no idea what the body for this guy will look like. so try starting with small, full-body thumbnails--i think along the way you'll find that you'll solve other issues, like how not to make him look quite so orc-y good luck and keep updating!
heres a little drawing of one idea for his helm, its not much now, but i was thinking the eyes on his mask would project harsh beams of light to shine on whomever he was interrogating, like you see in a lot of cop movies. im not sure that was ever a practice, but he could also blind his enemies with the light.
