Here is a new project I have been working on for a little while now it is the new helmet from Dragon Age. I have loved the design of this helmet since the first concept pieces came out. The base of the helmet is resin and styrene. It is basically an understructure for a monster clay buildup. I have already started roughing out the detail layer in monster clay and will post more updates nxt week.

Re: Dragon Age Inquisition - Dragon Helmet WIP

Was able to get some more work done last night. Basically I am roughing in all of the high points then I will sculpt them back to bring out the details in the dragon head, helmet details, and battle damage.

Re: Dragon Age Inquisition - Dragon Helmet WIP

This one was a tough decision. I've seen the ingame version of the dragon on the helmet and I wasn't really digging it. So.....I sculpted my own version. I really did try to take into consideration, if a blacksmith was realy making this out of metal what would a forged dragon head look like.

Re: Dragon Age Inquisition - Dragon Helmet WIP

A-freaking-mazing! I love the attention to detail especially in the dragon. I would buy this in a heartbeat (given i had the money lol) and its not even done yet. Great work
 
Re: Dragon Age Inquisition - Dragon Helmet WIP

Update time!
Well this time I finished sculpting the details on the back of the helmet and added the "rivets" on the sides as well as some battle damage here and there. Also I finally got around to making the spikes that go up the helmet like a mohawk. They are sanded and shaped out of oak but will be resin cast for the final verson.

Got the mold jacket applied this weekend. I hate making the molds somethimes it is just as much a challenge as sculpting the actual piece.

Re: Dragon Age Inquisition - Dragon Helmet WIP

That is awesome! I like your choice to consider making it look 'period correct'... available materials, tools, etc...

I'm currently working on D&D swords and daggers myself, using reference drawings from some video game manuals. I've sculpted the guard and pommel in clay...and make some resin casts. I'm going to make some wax casts and have them cast into bronze next.

Great job, .. keep showing pics of the mold too... that's a lot of work and helpful to see.
 
Re: Dragon Age Inquisition - Dragon Helmet WIP

This is looking great, looking forward to seeing the casting and finished piece!

I know what you mean about the molds, I get more stressed out about the mold making then any other part.
 
Re: Dragon Age Inquisition - Dragon Helmet WIP

Thanks to everyone for all of the great comments! I can't wait to show off the end result!

Thank you very much! I did get this one out pretty quick. I was just really into the overall project and that helps out a lot.
