Helmet Design Progress 11/7

おっす!

I'm winding down on the last stages of this project and I gotta say....it wasn't easy. I've painted a Dunny before and that was difficult to get my proportions right and it was all done freehand.

Transferring was key for this project. I was gonna just wing it and freehand this too but that was not gonna happen the way I would've wanted it.

All those years in elementary when they taught us the many uses of tracing paper and how to transfer paid off.

Got exactly what I wanted transferring but what surprised me the most was how well it looked after it was fully painted and boldly outlined. Unfortunately some smearing happened on the face but I was able to recover from it.

Got so inspired with what I had, the rest of the helmet was naked, especially the front...so to give it that complete fighter plane look I gave it some shark teeth and eyes to really set off the whole theme Xavier was going for.

Finishing the painting of the teeth and off to bake the clear coat on right after

Sachi found the GREATEST video ever. I'm a big fan of enka and this artist named Freddie pops up with a new genre of enka which he calls en-soul! AMAZING. This song I can relate to the most because, yeah, love IS waiting at Kansai airport....www

Peep his track:
