I think they really messed up the clone helmet in the cartoons, it looks all weird. You should have done the normal one.
I disagree - while we are accustomed to what we saw in AOTC, I think the new CW helmets are very aggressive looking and look better in some regards. How that translates in to real world... i dunno. This pep version of the CW helmet seems really odd looking. I'm just going off of memory, but it seems like the helmet is less sloped from back to front and more level. I know the toys aren't very accurate representations, but if you look at the 2 clone figures I think you'll see the overall differences.
Besides, I need a CW-like helmet for my CW Kenobi costume!
(I've seen the guys that did CW Kenobi with their clone armor and it just doesn't look quite right...)
EDIT to ADD - I think this pep helmet looks pretty good - just some constructive criticism based on how I
think the helmet should look:
1. make the bottom lip/ridge thing more rounded, almost circular
2. make the nose come in a little, I think it sticks out a bit far
3. make the helmet more level across the bottom, not so angled up towards the back
4. the dome looks great, but I think it may be sitting a bit high.
5. the inset area that goes across the back, from "ear to ear" seems a bit too wide.
Again - your dome looks great and I know you've put a lot of work into it! I'm offering my comments not to be hateful or hurtful, but that I think with as much work as you have done, it would be a disservice to let you keep going with a 95% accurate helmet! Great work again, and as a Star Wars and Clone Wars fan, I have to commend you on your work!!!
