Space Helmet Concept

Space Helmet Development Sketches
A selection of sketches showing the development of a space helmet concept. This one started of with some random brush strokes using various Photoshop brushes, I wasn't to sure of the direction of the design at the beginning. It was a case of figuring out the visor direction as a way orientating the design. Once that was done the rest started to fall into place.

I think with this concept however the above sketches had something dynamic which I lost in the next, more detailed sketch ( I'll post the detail sketch next ). I may take this design back a few stages before I progress any further.

As you can probably see from these 3 the design elements were driven by the shapes from the Photoshop brushes. Once you orientate your eye to the apparent 'mess' created by the brushes then it becomes more of a decision making process of  "OK this shape could be the backpack, this shape is a breathing tube." etc... Those decisions can be good or bad in terms of design choices, with my design being the latter :)
