Season 1: Brennor FFL - Helmet Design

Post by Shurijo » Tue Sep 18, 2012 4:37 pm

Yeah, I know helmet and team colors aren't important, but it adds a bit of fun to the game. I came up with my Vermont Cow Tippers helmet below:


Small, ESPN size (159x129)
Image
Large
Image
If anyone wants a helmet, then head to this page. Download the (not 3d, just the flat 2d one) red, blue, white helmet template image and color it using MS Paint, Paint.NET, or whatever painting program you have, and then I can insert it into the Photoshop template for the 3d effects.

If you lack image coloring skills, just PM me the color concepts (or reference another team's helmet colors) and a logo/idea.

Various options:
Stripe on top - color, border/edge color, thickness
Base color or pattern
Logo/image and/or lettering (fonts, colors, etc.)
Face guard color

Pretty much anything you can think of.

That looks cool. I have zero skills in this area however. I'll drop you a PM if you don't mind.

I like it Shurijo. I need one with my Admin picture on it that you had made. Please and thank you!

Not a problem. What colors you want? Black and Blue?

For me? White and Red sounds good.

@V, How's this? I didn't know if you wanted the whole helmet covered with the face or just part of it. I couldn't find a good angle for the undead Arthas image. I also tried rotating the image so the eyes pointed forward and it looked somewhat interesting, but hard to see the rest of him.

It's rather easy to adjust and change stuff. Pretty nice template that guy uploaded. Even just changing colors is a breeze and makes the helmets look nice.

Still in progress, working with thehitcat

@Haya, sure. I just took a guess at the face guard colors and made them a gray to match the ladies in background. Also, I faded the bottom to black, rather than have a "cut off" appear at the edge of the helmet. I (personally) think this looks better than a hard cut/wrap.

I can resize to ESPN size (159x129) when the helmet is approved/okayed by managers. I can also just give you the URL to paste into the ESPN team settings area, so you don't need to worry about uploading it somewhere.

I was thinking the "BrenCon" Admin picture of Vardaen, not my avatar.
