MeanGene Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 A local friend commissioned me too make him a Boar Bio helmet. Now I've painted a shit ton of these the standard way. I have not seen anyone do a bone version. The circular turtle shell dome areas will be painted a dirty aged bone color. Also debating the lower jaw being bone color as well. Something similar to Beserker bio. These are the marked bone areas. Rest of the bio @Roninpred says should be a gun metal. Weathered and dirty. Also some talk of a dred mohawk reminiscent of a boar's razorcrest. I've got some boat tusks I snagged off Etsy. Anyone have ideas? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutank Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Maybe some quails for a Mohawk? Very lightly done. Just a thought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanGene Posted November 2, 2022 Author Share Posted November 2, 2022 So this bio has been sitting on the work bench for quite some time with no forward momentum. I was taking my time to brainstorm something original and fun. As my friend Justin simply couldn't decide on a paint scheme he wanted, I asked him if I could just "do my thing". He said Go for it. Here it be. Basic idea. A forged gold bio with bone sections inlaid. Call it a Feral inspired Boar helmet. Always wanted to make the turtle shell dome sections bone. So this was a fun realization. Although. I would say I wish I didn't do the Suture skull lines. Doesn't work the way I intended, but as a wise man said trial and error - life's best teacher. Thanks for looking. (Not finished yet) Next Steps: Finishing the underside. Creating a mounting wire. Eye mesh OR Lenses? (I am thinking dark black sunglass lenses. Think Mr. Black / Beserker bio.) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoKazama Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I actually like the suture lines, it break down the color and i think is a very nice choice of colors for this helmet. Great job buddy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanGene Posted November 10, 2022 Author Share Posted November 10, 2022 Some updates. Trying to finish this up for my friend who lives locally. Wanted to do a little something a little extra for him. So I added a 5v LED strip to the back of the helmet to light it up when its on his wall. Comes with a remote. I think Green is the winner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
