scottysprings Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 UPDATE BELOWHere's my attempt at creating a football helmet template that rivals the realism of axl's and ptnd's. I know I don't have a chinstrap yet but I don't know how it will look being it will obscure the logo decal. Now give me some C&C!!

kewp80 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Looks damn good! Still looks a tad flat, but it looks great IMO. Forget the chinstraps. Cardinals -- Rams -- Blues -- Tigers -- Liverpool Check out my music! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtrich11 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Ah, the subtle hint of the vinyl sticker is a nice touch. This is really good, but the visor seems to act as a distracting color. Can you make the visor greyish-tinted? cafepress.com/artbyrichards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conns09 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 your refrence is the pic off of oakley.com for their visors, but if you could do the same style with a DNA or the new Ion helmet that would be sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davidson Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 looks kewl, the ear hole bit looks a little off at the moment.ive been working on my own template. its a bit less realistic looking though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottysprings Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 That looks sweet, davidson. Kinda like a updated replacement for the generic football helmet logo like the browns use. Any tips on the earhole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidson Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 well id nove the hole to the right to make it look like the donut is raised from the rest of the helmet. bare in mind also that the outline of the hole angles in different directions all the way around so the shading will need to be different in places.for example the hole on my helmet is darker around the bottom edge. although mine is simple posterised two tone, i think its a start.

Ben5 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 The template looks good, except for one problem: the facemask is too big. Make it a quarterback mask instead of a lineman mask and you've got a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
