Work In Progress - The Mythic Dawn Headdress

Added 2021-01-31 17:57:26 +0000 UTC

I finally started to redesign the recently banned Leto Headdress into The Mythic Dawn Priestess Headress.

I gave the previous no 6 sketch a go in 3d and went somewhat into details with it.

So, to model the multilayer halo I created 5 layers - front to back:

1. The organic sunrays

2. The linear sunrays

3. The structural wire halo

4. The back super organic rays layer 1

5. The back super organic rays layer 2

Well, this arrangement worked quite well for me when I looked at it in 3dsMax, but problems started to appear after putting all this into Substance Painter.

Originally, I wanted to keep the previous mask structure and work only on the small details but it seemed that the previous mask doesn't fit the new halo design.

So I started all the materials over and tested like 3 or 4 different designs and finally creating a centered medallion and scattering smaller circular elements around, started to look quite convincing. I also had to add some organic quality to all of the elements by hand painting the wire-mesh and texture on flat-gold elements.

I will experiment a bit more with the medallions and colors but probably keep gold plus black. I also have to create the back of the mask ;)

I may have to get rid of two lowest rays but I'll check it later on.

That's the report for now.

Hope you like it :)

Have a nice upcoming week guys!
