metal gear solid ninja helmet

[1helios1]

so, this is my first post, though i have been lurking for awhile, in fact not that long ago i saw a thread about this very project and i was unable to post! it was very frustrating, but now i can. this is my first helmet project, and i think its coming along pretty well.

here is a progress pic. i don't know when it will be done, but it wont be to much longer, im hoping to make and sell some casts, to recoup the money this project has, and still will cost me, i don't know anything about selling casts, or anything else for that matter, so its still to early to say if thats going to work out. i would greatly appreciate any wisdom, tips, experience that anyone is willing to share.

great to be here!

I can't wait to see the result!
If it turns out well, I could be interested... Just remember that his chin is slightly "tilted" foreward, and the eyes are slightly smaller, but this is a great start so far!

This is a nice replica you could use as reference, if you need some scans from the artbook, just let me know.

i have seen this gallery, and its quite excellent, but i have not noticed the chin tilt in any other images, as for the eyes, i think they will look alright once they are dark. thanks for the encouragement

From the artwork you'll see it better...

you are right, its subtle, but its there, i think i would have to greatly change the shape of the chin, but i will see what i can do.

Any new progress? I'm working on one also, it's in the pre-sculpting/planning stage. Thanks to Ramiels pics, I see now that the forehead part raises also. I need to figure out this also. lol
