[DE]Artarrwen Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) I'm bad at names. WIP shots, down to oldest Hat. Quick sculpt and an overpaint. Had no idea what I'd end up with other than "would be cool if she had something like a bandana". Almost done with the concepting phase, about to do cleanup, then go for detail and polish. But I would love to hear some feedback before I go any further and while it's still easy (somewhat) and painless (relatively) to make changes.

Jamescell Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) Looks great. I would buy it if I liked Mesa. It would be even cooler if you were able to incorporate organic shapes that vaguely resemble a cowboy hat. Also, I would either tilt the helmet or alter the helmet so that the bandana doesn't curve inwards towards the bottom (fix it so it hangs straight down-ish) Edited December 23, 2015 by Jamescell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syppolina Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 This helmet is looks much better than the longhorn helmet. If this can be in game I would buy this :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamamo-no-Mae Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I love the clean and symmetrical look! I always wanted a version of the Mesa helmet that didn't have the scarf around her eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I would either tilt the helmet or alter the helmet so that the bandana doesn't curve inwards towards the bottom (fix it so it hangs straight down-ish) If it hangs and dangles freely it might clip through her collar when she's turning her head. It'll have to be somewhat fixed to her neck area, thus the curve. Now I want to go see if I can turn it into more of a scarf. Her neck is already wrapped in cloth so that might work better.

Syncrasis Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I like where you're going with the surface details on this piece but I think the general silhouette looks a bit too similar to the default. I agree that maybe adding some larger shapes, such as a cowboy hat inspired shape, would really make it stand out. Can someone confirm if they're allowing alt helmet entries for the new grouping or is it just skins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[DE]Artarrwen Posted December 24, 2015 Author Share Posted December 24, 2015 (edited) HAT Also replaced the mask with a scarf like I mentioned. Not much difference to the silhouette, like I said before, just concern with clipping. Can someone confirm if they're allowing alt helmet entries for the new grouping or is it just skins? I don't see why they wouldn't.Would be real shame if after the contest we're still not allowed to make new helmets.

Deshiel Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Looks promising. Will buy it if it looks good in full black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syncrasis Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Ahh, you're quick! Yeah I think your changes help a lot. I like how the edges flare up like a proper floppy hat. Yeah, seems like they would naturally open up for new helmets but I haven't seen anything official regarding them. Guess I'll go ahead and start mine too since you are lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesoPL Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Definetly looks better than longhorn helmet. We need Mesa look something like cowboy or something. http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/borderlands/images/8/8a/Nisha_the_Sheriff_by_matias_tapia.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140825234731 Take an look on Nisha aka Sherrif from Lynchwood from Borderlands series. Helmet like that, and eveutally skin might be cool and insta buy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[DE]Artarrwen Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) Adjusted some pieces of the helmet a bit, working on the detail now. Edited December 28, 2015 by Artarrwen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigmas71 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) Adjusted some pieces of the helmet a bit, working on the detail now. doh the hat is killing me D: so sorry to digress. I really liked the more streamlined/flush details of the previous iteration. Otherwise excellent work!. A small suggestion would be to also keep the more angular lines around the eyes, they seem to be missing in this latest one for some reason.

A small suggestion would be to also keep the more angular lines around the eyes, they seem to be missing in this latest one for some reason. Blame Syncrasis for making a fair point about the silhouette :p. I'm not too solid on the hat brim, might make it more subtle, but I want to give it a chance anyway. If nothing else, I'll just whip up something different entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omni_Omega Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 The mask screams western bandit to me. I definitely like this, +1! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[DE]Artarrwen Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) One final change I made is the top part of the helmet, as well as some small tweaks here and there to help with the flow.Quick snapshot of the progress so far, currently doing detail, about half of the model is done.
