Some concept sketches I did for the character that I would later draw in this image: [link]

The idea I wanted to get across was the concept of armor as sort of de-humanizing, in a way that they made the character feel more daunting or menacing, like samurai armor. In addition, I wanted the armor to be something that was worn by a lot of soldiers, so I didn't want anything too elaborate. Ultimately, I ended up taking cues from viking helmets, "dragon knight"-type helmets from certain fantasy games, as well as futuristic-type helmets. I don't have a final design done yet, but the helmet I plan to sculpt will end up combining bits and pieces of all these elements.
