I added the nasal between the eyes in the visor.

You look great while going to work!

... BTW what is it that you do for life? Hunting bounties?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Mostly side-quests, adventuring. If a bounty is worthwhile I might run'em down.

How do you get your head in? The neck-thing looks tight.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago

So fun fact! This type of helmet is a type of "closed helm" called an Armet which has cheek plates that open up and close around your neck. This portion of the helmet that protects your neck and chin is called a "bevor".

Here it is opened up.

The other type of closed helm, simply called a "close helm" has the bevor and visor attached to the same hinge like this example:

Me too. Favorite place in the world. If I were wealthy enough, I'd travel around and follow it around.

Pretty awesome! How's your vision?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago (4 children)

Surprisingly good!

Did a whole short film in it with some (minor, will get better with time) fight coreography.

Very impressed.

Here's the shortfilm in question

I wish I had the kind of friends I could do things like these with, looks like a lot of fun!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

That's the neat part, I don't! That's my wife and brother lol.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Well done, great jokes, lots of subtle references, love it!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Thank you so much. We put a lot of work into it. It was originaly for a film contest. It wasn't even shown.

Thank you! There's some scuff, but it's fun scuff. We are going to more and not take it too seriously. It's more fun!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I bet you play Mordhau also.

;)

Chivalry 2 actually lol.

I actually had a monty python black knight moment happen in that game.

Final moments of a TO map and I am fighting the enemy king/whatever, get both my arms chopped off and manage to get the game winning kill with a fucking headbutt!!

I was about to say it's too shiny, you need to rub some dirt on it or something, then I saw you said you're painting it to match.

Looks awesome!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Lol yessir! Like my other helms and props as well!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Those are fucking awesome!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

Thank you. I've really gotten into prop/costume design over the last 2 years. It's so much fun.

Really get to be creative and imaginative.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You need a dent like Boba Fett...no but for real, that's pretty sweet.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Lol. There was a mandalorian helmet I was working on a long time ago. I decided to persue medieval costuming instead tho.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Looks awesome! But I think you also need something to cover your balls. Like a sack. omg this pun is going too far :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

If you need to move around faster, you could see about getting a squire to follow you bashing some coconut halves together. I hear it can be quite effective, if you can get your hands on one, that is.
