dacond3 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Commissions are a little more complex than just get measurements, set a deadline, etc. I have to pattern it all out, make the fabric design from scratch since I don't already have a completed file for him. Plus, sewing, trying to find a ride to get zippers/thread/etc, and having to take time out of my day for several weeks to do everything when I'm already working on both moving and trying to find a job and take driving lessons. Commissions are a bit more than I'm able to do right now, I'm afraid. I really am sorry. :c well i hope the job finding works out in the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissions are a bit more than I'm able to do right now, I'm afraid. I really am sorry. :c Its quite simple here. There is a reason why custom made suits or dresses are made in long time periods. There are always some little fixes that need to be done along the way, and if you dont have proper model for all that work, things will go south. If one for which suit is made is not there when said suit is being made, something will end up wrong. So i understand why Dagnie is a bit reluctant to go in that direction.

Imaru Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Surprised you weren't on prime time tonight. Would've expected you to come up given Megan's most recent comment in the thread. Perhaps she's waiting until you finish it to feature you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm... Maybe foam with a purple fluorescent coating? That would work, but it won't glow. Perhaps shaped Plexiglass with purple LEDs inside for a glow? That would be very tough to pull off but work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

011100110110000101101101 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 that would be cool as **** The suit is already friggen awesome, but functional Chlora rings would simply bring everything together nicely if executed properly. Extremely excited to see how it turns out, Chlora or no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagnie Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 Honestly, the rings are the least of my concerns with the helmet. My main thing is figuring out how I'm gonna see without people being able to see inside the helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main thing is figuring out how I'm gonna see without people being able to see inside the helmet. Yes, that is an issue. Hmm... If you're good with tech, or know someone who is good at tech you could tape a view screen into the inside of your helmet and put tiny little cameras on the outside of it, hidden by... something, I haven't gotten that far yet. Possibly one way fabric. Elegant solution, but complicated and costly. You could use a one-way mirror roll and shaped glass and that would work perfectly, but it would be tough to find the perfect glass you need. It would likely need to be custom ordered from some place. If you can get the glass and mirror roll, it would allow you to see perfectly and have no one see you, but it would be reflective and not opaque, which would not be entirely true to the Saryn Warframe. Another thing you could do is to position mirrors inside the helmet in a way that would allow you to see outside it correctly. Probably the easiest option out of the three, but it would be weird to use. None of these suggestions are easy, but if pulled off well would work seamlessly. Honestly I have no clue why I am suggesting these to you, but hey. I like helping. Edited February 15, 2015 by 011100110110000101101101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If doing the Chlora helmet this would work perfectly. Might have to use mirrors though. Good idea, better than mine.

Clarvel Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Just a couple pinholes might work, depending on how close your eyes are to the face of the mask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibliothekar Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) For the normal helmet, you could make the two front segments out of tight-woven fabric. Since there is no light-source inside your helmet, that should be enough - and with the size of those, it wouldn't even impede your (peripheral) vision very much. Depending on the fabric, it's similar to looking through your t-shirt. For the Chlora or Hemlock helmet, I'd cut out eye holes, cover them with fabric again and try to blend it in with the surrounding area as good as possible. Maybe cover the entire part with the fabric instead of whatever you normally use. You also have to remember that you'll need some kind of ventilation in your helmet (unless you are into asphyxiation ...) and eye holes are always a good way to achieve this. Pair them with a small fan to keep a cool head, and you're pretty much set. Edited February 15, 2015 by Bibliothekar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt advise doing that. Also, can be pricey or cheap, depending where are you buying from. You can use fabric which women from middle eastern countries use to cover their eyes. Net like veil.

I was thinking about that with the standard Saryn helmet in mind, because in game the helmet extends fairly far away from where the operators head would actually be. thus being safe. I wanted to suggest using a veil like fabric, but the texture wouldn't meld with the rest of the helmet assuming said helmet is made from foam. I don't think there is a simple answer to this issue.

Sun rays reflecting folium that can be found on quality visors on motorsport helmets? Polarizing one. That might work as you can color it as you want, tho shining effect might be an issue here.
