In other words very early WIP I feel like this helmet would like a vent on it's horn bit, due to grineer and such, with a small poof of fire/smoke coming out with your energy color. Just my own thought anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although skins have their technical issues that may deter you from making prime-themed skins, what do you think about alternate prime-themed helmets?

We dont got access to the prime parts of any frame so you can't really match it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Aahh, please tell me seeing how you're now doing custom helmets your other Grineer skins which currently lack custom helmets, will be getting new helmets too? That'd be exceptionally awesome and spice them up even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I really like the rhino one. which leaves frost/nova. Frost got plenty of nice helmets already that worked really well with the grost. And nova is just as saturated imo.

Jamescell Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 The details on the back look really great. I suggest adding some sort of pattern to the front though, unless you plan to make it a metal visor or do that with textures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senketsu_ Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 for the horn, you know those glowing bits on the machette, cleavers, and sheev,. Why not put some kind of "blade" with super heated edge like those melee weapons. I think that the grineer would do something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks cool It's not "hard" once you're good enough to get far enough to make a decent sculpt. It just takes time and patience. And a good eye for where to add detail and where not to.

Valiant Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 (edited) Hmm I don't know about that horn. Most Excalibur helmets have horns, having this one without it made it look and feel different for a change. Plus, it leaned more towards the ninja side, something which we've been lacking for a while now. Edited June 12, 2016 by Naith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tennogen's supposed to be about different content, I don't see why they wouldn't accept it just because it's missing a horn. That is in part is an assumption. We've got a Nova with a flight attendant hat, flight attendant hats have nothing to do with Nova. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing how their submission windows are 2-3 months apart its a big gamble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know with Frost Hailstorm the author had some feedback from DE about the lines that needed some cleaning up before it got accepted. Dunno whether it'd be worth shooting someone a PM confirming stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matto Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Without the horn it just looks like a Mag helmet. Also, without the horn, having two green parts on the same colorization spot makes me feel like it needs something else. You could find an alternative that is not "a horn" maybe, but I have no idea... I really liked this idea of a horn that reminds us of the machette and cleavers' design. That would be very "Grineer".
