Still working on this. Practicing on how to map the top of a sphere as well as to shade. I think the face needs to be stretched longer.





Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator

the ideea is good but the mapping is not aparently soo good , work a little bit on the mapping.

i liked the mask, but it is a little bit empty!

The above doesn't really help much so let me chip in:

The face appears a little too high up on the head, try lowering the middle of the mask over the blue circular guideline below it.
Perspectively speaking, the two bolt-like items on the mask seem too rotated. Remember that after the texture has been mapped most of the rotation will be done for you. Shrink the forward outline/shadow to reel this in a bit.
The top and back are interesting and I can't quite figure out why I like them, however the shade you've chosen and they style might limit you for extending the texture round to the sides.
I hope to see a new WIP soon!

Hi Monobi. Sorry I haven't been on Skype a lot, I've been messing with the brush tool a lot for this head and then trailed off to work on some random stuff to practice shading, not going to well. Hmm, not quite sure how to continue.

On a side note, thanks for the CnC, guys. I agree with the face thing, stretched it a little bit more, it should look decently mapped now. Haven't done too much about those bolt-like items though. Tried to make things glow, don't think I did too well.

Slight improvements:
