TR_H.O.U.N.D_Helmet

I'm a little nervous about this helmet but I saw some animal inspired helmet and thought I might try my hand in it.

Updated the concept.

If you're going to make a themed helmet DO NOT! be so obvious. Give subtle hints that it's a hound. This looks like a fox or a jackal...But it to animalistic IMO for a TR helmet. May want to reduce the theme to about 70-80%

I think if I remove the ears that and change the mouth part a little that should reduce theme.
Please feel free to leave comment or constructive criticism.

Basically what Giz said. It should feel like 'Oh, this helmet reminds me of a Fox' instead of 'Oh, this fox reminds me of a helmet' if that makes sense. I would start with building the basic geometry of a helmet and then begin tweaking it to look like the animal your going for. Lots of points for originality, just not the right execution

Hmm, I'll restart with the mesh, but how to execute it correctly is the question now.

Exactly.

Make the ears more anthena like if you want to go on with this.

I will add the idea, but there will be multiple version of the ears like the image below, and do to that, I can not guarantee that the will be in the final product.



As for this image, this is an attempt to make the helmet more of a gas mask then a fox mask. I leave the choice up to you guys, but I would prefer to work with options 3 or 4 but will abide by the any decision you guys put.

I dont think concept is going to work for the TR

Thanks for the response, I'll see to making a concept that will fit better with the game.

A bit more subtle could look awesome

Updated the concept art, however I won't work on the model if this happens to be the wrong direction to take the project.

I think this is an improvement. Not sure how I feel about the circles going up the side.

MUCH BETTER!!!

on that note, I agree with JS ibanez, the circles should go. if you want circles though, maybe replace the grill on the rebreather with one or two circle thingies, or put a circle or two or three on the side of the head.

imo cut the circles and have a bit more depth to the visor?

Alright, thanks for the feedback, I have started working on the model. So, I should have some screen shot of the helmet by sometime tomorrow.

Sorry about that, lot of things popped up during the last two days. But here is the model.

ill wait till the models done to make any judgements

New update, add detail that was needed, and I got the neck sock built.

I think you need to add a lot more detail to this, at the moment it reads a bit like a blank canvas destined for greatness
