Concept Art Mini-Contests ~ How would I be: My Helmet

[Pinachet]

Ok, so here's an update to my helmet. As I promised, I haven't changed anything since last time till today. So everything you see is made today. It's 5pm here already by the time, I'm posting this.

Made it sharper and with a little bit more light and detail, finally got it to look close to what I want. It's still too monotone though, I think, I'll add some more colors.

Day 2 WIPs

P.S. Btw, some awesome artworks, guys. My chances disappear lol

 

[I3lackDeath]

Pharaoh_, would it be possible to extend the deadline to the 19th of August?
I work all day, and would love to have enough time on my hands to finish my entry, thus the weekend would be perfect.

[NFWar]

Let me improove everyones creativity and give ya 2 small tips.

Helmets may be futuristic as well.
Helmets can be not only from metal. Wood, leather, bones, plastic, even rock can be used as materials.

 

[I3lackDeath]

@NFWar
Thanks for your input. You are absolutely right.

Tweaked some stuff here and there, and I will be working on the back view tomorrow.

First Post

Second Post

After a brief delay, you can now see the last WIPs of my helmet. Finally my mouse's torture is over, it was great fun though, as both my first digital art, and my first time participation in a HIVE's contest!

The final art is also ready, but I'll post it later on today, or tomorrow, since the lore is not yet ready, and I'd love to provide it (in hope that my writing skills will be better than my painting skills lol).

Day 3 WIPs (final)

P.S. By writing that I painted it with mouse, I'm not by any means trying to boast or draw attention
P.P.S. Hope that all the contestants have as much fun, creating their works, as I did.

 

[Ghost765]

im confused about this theme, are we designing a helmet that looks cool or a helmet that would match our personality (MY helmet?)

 

[GhostKnife]

This is of my interest. I may have in

I don't see why it can't be both. If you were wearing a helmet, wouldn't it be cool?

 

[Ghost765]

well, i could design a helmet that is completely irrelevant to myself, and it could be cool. just sayin. might whip something out

 

[I3lackDeath]

As far as I remember, Pharaoh_ said something about "wanting to save the idea of masks for another contest", yet some entries look like masks.

I guess this topic leaves much space for interpretation. No one can actually proof that the helmet you create fits your personality etc.
Just enjoy the creation process and come up with something that shows your influences.

 

[Foronisus]

Not sure. Must to try.

That reminds me of Iron Man

 

[NFWar]

That reminds me of Iron Man

wasnt thinking of iron man when I was drawing this. Most about memory clusters of futuristic helmets on DA.

Well, for me, it resembles a model that I used in "Unreal Tournament 2004", because of its shiny effect (which I love!) and the very intriguing shape.

Final Submision

LORE: The Giant's Skull Helmet

The Giants are an ancient race, the glory of which had passed away long ago. They may have arrived with the magic itself, but now they are almost extinct. Some believe, that through these creatures, deprived of contemporary magic abilities, flows the primal sorcery itself.
That is why people attempt to find and slay the remains of once great race. It is obvious that the search must be a torture, and even the majority of those few, who succeed, meet the most brutal death. You have to be either a complete lunatic, or a daredevil to fight a Giant, since their power is tremendous.
However, the reward is more than generous - they usually guard their caves, where they store various sorts of fur and leather; a lucky warrior may even find a treasure. The best reward though, is the Giant himself - their bones are much tougher and more durable than humans', and some master-blacksmiths are willing to make a piece of armor from these rare bones for free, because it is an honor to tell their fellow craftsmen, what they have made.
On the other hand, nobody knows for sure, if there are any remnants of primal magic carried inside those ancient bones, until they put them on...

Work In Progress

What do u think guys?

 

[NFWar]

wip, futuristic infantry/spec ops/whatever helmet

Me gusta.

 

[Ghost765]

This is my final submission...I think.
the original sketch looks better :\
Supposed to be a futuristic combat helmet, loaded up with an air filtration system, infrared vision, laser designator, built-in zoom, and a built-in AI to assist in battlefield awareness
Went for a simple red/charcoal color scheme, with very simple shading

 

[HappyCockroach]

heheh.

 

[I3lackDeath]

@Ghost765
Lol at the spade ace.

@HappyCockroach
I wonder if you'd really wear that all day long.

 

[.VTZ.]

[The Panda]

Work in Progress.

Naga Helmet.
Pencil and Shading.

 

[Nudl9]

I think everyone went with a little too serious approach on the theme, so i couldn't help myself from making a counterpart. Very rough sketch.

 

[I3lackDeath]

Lol, that concept is amazing.

Everyone has a different approach, I for my part created a helmet I would totally wear myself and resembles the style I dig (which is how I interpreted the theme).
