Samurai helmet and mask – WIP

You never know when you’re going to need a samurai helmet, and it never hurts to be prepared so here I am doing materials tests on a samurai helmet. I thought I’d stick this guy in culture…

#1 noisy

looks so much nicer with a bit of wear on it

#2 dull

at this point the helmet and mask are sorted, but I will spend the rest of the time trying different textures for those copper horns

they don't even look real here

probably the best of the lot, but still doesn't look very realistic

raw render, with an overly shiny helmet

perhaps a little TOO beat up?

Number 6 is excellent, but this works for me in the right way, realistically. It’s a mask of warriors, and it should be like this.

This would be cool on one of your females pieces perhaps. You will get the horns perfected.

I actually like grotty. Well, it seems worn and used.
What is a helmet for when its not used?

i am useless for this one – I like each of them for different reasons. Sorry, I know that doesn’t help at all.

  the fact that you can’t choose is also an answer…

I like #5 grotty; but I think it’s just a little bit too grotty. Found another glitch the past few days. When I try to type an answer under the individual pictures, I can only type one letter and then the page freezes up and I have to come completely out of the page and go back in or it will stay frozen. Sigh.
