In this piece I was aiming to replicate an old and worn feel to the helmet’s appearance. I used a substance painter material and scaled the level of rust across the helmet. When I had done that, I felt that it didn't seem worn, just aged, so added scratch marks and some faint handprints to show that it went through several events that have worn it down.
Looking at it in a critical way, I believe that it could have used a less perfect shape. For a helmet that’s supposed to be worn and been through time it's kept its round shape which isn’t very believable. If I were to redo the process I would add flat dents to suggest that it was dropped or more curved dents to suggest dent caused from battle.
