AlduinWorldEater Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 cool helm now if you have dragonborn you can take some parts from the carved nordic armor the chest plate looks like ysgramors chestplater. Gonna shoot a hole in this one...I'd personally prefer a non-DB-dependent version, as I don't have Dragonborn and don't yet know when I'll be able to buy it. Extreme case of priorities and whatnot.

mcgirkke Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) Pretty much done at this point, just going to clean up a few finaltexture issues.... I think I like the dark look overall since the helmshould be quite old and I like the contrast between the polished areas and thedarker ones. I do wonder about the top of the helm detailing I put in, not sure ifit makes the helm a little too busy, so I am going to marinate on it abit...

mcgirkke Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) one final pic in more direct light that shows some of the texturing contrasts of the polished and distressed areas more... Edited March 19, 2013 by mcgirkke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotemochick1992 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I think the top of the actually helm (black and white spot) needs more texture to it, to me it looks very flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgirkke Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Yeah I agree that the dark area needs texture and the lighter design pattern up there needs to be roughed up a bit as well to match the overall old look of the helm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankFamily Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 i think it's too wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzontlimixtli Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 i think it's too wide.That's one of the helm's defining features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlduinWorldEater Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 i think it's too wide.That's one of the helm's defining features. Agreed. The statue of Ysgramor is striking because of the sheer size it gives him. To the unwitting elven defender, that would have been positively terrifying. I made a similar speech on armour styles in another thread...the whole point of a legendary hero's armour is to make him easy to spot in a crowd. He's not the average soldier, and doesn't wear the average gear... Besides, I think it's quite stylish. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
