Bone Boar Bio Project

[MeanGene]

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?

Maybe some quails for a Mohawk?  Very lightly done. Just a thought.

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.)

Man I really like the color scheme.

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.

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.

Looks sweet, green does do it.

That is a fantastic bio and love the color you've used....  But I'm not too keen on the LED behind it

[OzzyHuntress]

Love the mask colours. 
that’s also one of my favourite mask, it is such a classic. 

[MeanGene]

Thanks everyone. It ships off to it's new home on Monday.

Then I am back on to the Juggernaut sculpt and a mini bio P1 project. 👍👍

Thanks for reposting this on Facebook @NeoKazama

Anyone else got some custom bios paint jobs to post in a thread? Love seeing the variants.
