Helmeted Character: Week 1 Monday

I used Monday to gather up reference material for the sculpt and to find the concept I wanted to use. I created a pureref file based around a concept by Catlesstail on twitter:

As the concept was a helmeted character and the head on the concept seemed to be a little too small to fit a human head inside, I decided to adapt the proportions a little to fit the brief.

Now that the concept had been decided upon, I went on a research binge to find as much real life reference as possible to strengthen the concept, especially in terms of materials.

I paid particular attention to obtaining multiple views of different kinds of clothes so that I could combine them into a cohesive sculpt.
