EDIT: I went back and rendered the face again. I like it a bit better. 8)
Here’s something from concepts class. I had a draft of this on tumblr but went back and rendered everything again. I think I'm done with the design now.
The assignment was to utilize pattern so that it is goes beyond being just surface decor. I kind of translated a 2d pattern into something three-dimensional; totally used this assignment as an excuse to practice some character design. originally, I designed only clothes but then I decided to make headwear since it was more exciting. I kind of became more invested in the character than the helmet design.. This was the pattern that inspired me to make this helmet! [link]
I have so much love for this piece of work! And your CG has improved so much since I last saw your work. Super amazing dude T uT Especially you've managed to make the metal armour look like it's of a different texture from the cloth. That's really well done.
