Space Helmet (part 2)

Space Helmet Design Detail

Continuing from the previous post, I worked on this design further detailing design elements. I don't think the design itself works particulaly well, but there are elements which I liked. What interests me here is the mixture of the hard surface shell and the glass visor, however the angle of the helmet would be very uncomfortable.

Also the seal of the helmet is not addressed and is obviously very important to maintain pressure. So there is much more work on this design that needs to be done. Hopefully I'll get some time to work on this, but I think my strategy would be to revert to the previous sketches rather than try to rescue this version.

I pasted a Poser character's head into this illustration to show some scale and position of the head inside the helmet design. Its interesting because it immediately forces you to reconsider and re-evaluate the design from a ergonomic perspective... ah well back to the drawing board, literally!
