Awesome! I just love the look. I will send you a schematic of the helmet before I start so you can tell me what wrong and right about it. If you dont mind : )
Yeah, some one else wants to make on and I suggested the same. You come up with a schematic you think will fit a head first, then I'll help you perfect the shape.
Awsome job on the composition again, I love the close up of the hand and very wonderful detail with light and dark relationship of the helmet you can tell the sunlight is flashing on the middle guys face
Actually having a blade (energy or physical) as an auxiliary weapon is very practical. A knife is silent, it neither jams nor sticks and you don't have to reload it. It's significantly more effective than fists. Real soldiers, (particularly commandos) carry knives into combat all the time. (Not so much for snipers)
