This is the rough cardboard base for a helmet I'm building for an OC of mine — a frog knight. Cardboard, scrap paper, and a lot of tape to nail down the shape before papier-mâché goes on top.

The Kappa shoebox logo wasn't intentional, but I think it adds character at this stage 😄

Will share the next stages as I go. Open to suggestions — especially on how to handle the eye sockets and jaw transition.

The customer asked for lots of light-colored round polka dots. He wanted them to be voluminous, but he didn't take into account that the fabric was a thin jersey. I needed to achieve a perfect result at any cost. I tried doing it the classic way using the 3D function, but you can see the result in the photo: the embroidery became oval. I tried adding more lining and adding a reinforcing layer along the outline, but the result didn't improve. The customer had already agreed to this result, but I decided to take my time. I remembered that I recently drew headlights and I also needed to make a round light bulb. The Wilcom program has a special function that embroiders in the shape of a circle. I used this function, but a problem arose: after you tear off the interlining, the embroidery fell to the back side. After that, I made an additional line in a circle, before the main embroidery, so that everything was fixed and it was more difficult to pull all the embroidery back. In my opinion, I was able to get the maximum result that is possible on this jersey. After they iron the fabric, it will be evened out a little more.
