Custom robot head/ helmet displays

[FreddySchramm]

I've been working on this for the past couple months. These robot helmets are for my senior exhibition at an art school. Designed the helmet in solidworks and 3d printed it, then made a mold and casted them in Smooth on Black onyx fast. I'm doing a similar series with smaller helmets to practice new painting and patina techniques. These I just wanted to use as a way to play around with color and concepts, pus have something nice and cool for my portfolio.

Inspired by the rocketeer ( I didn't think it looked too much like it but alot of people can tell but lets face it, the head fin ids a rocketeer trademark.) and iron man with a mix of the iron Giant.


Painted with a variety of techniques using airbrushes and spray paint. The patinas are a mix of acrylics, oils, iron based paint and cinnamon.

They look great! The influences are clear to see but it's a very cool design none the less.

Those are pretty awesome! I think the military paint job is my favorite.

It's definitely my favorite. FreddySchramm, I like the way you kept the basic design relatively simple, then showed how versatile it can be by enhancing it with different details and paintwork. Nice work!

Thanks everyone!

I'll put all my portfolio shots up soon. Would love to see if there are any tips on how I could make theme more realistic.!

I'll be doing more of these after graduation, any suggestions on color schemes?

they look pretty nifty, although I think I would've said they looked like a mix of Rocketeer and Darth Vader
