Hello again!

Good job on the back side of helmet, its rounded but blocky, looks nice! You think its possible to do something similar with the front too?

At the moment cheeks have lots of spikey looking voxels that are placed in straight diagonal lines, they do not read well as cute chubby cheeks.

I like the eyebrows! Adds quite some of an expression to the face :) However im still not sold on the beak and overall face shape. I really think it will look better if it was rounded instead of stretched forward.

I take it you added blush to the cheeks? It could work better as same tone of white fur but with a hint of pink. Im sorry, but light purple there does feel out of place.

Going to change status to Active, you know the way it works :)

Hello again!

It looks like you moved eyes completely to the front but kept same shape of the head? Goal is to have a creation that looks good from as many sides as possible, not just from the front or side. It doesnt always work, but its still possible to reach certain extent of that. 

At the moment it looks alright from the front, but sides and back only have randomized coloring. Also from the side the skull seems stretched, not sure if its the best approach.

In the contest article you can find a helmet template with attachment point, please use it as your attachment point seems misplaced. Bits of face poke out in the front and back is hanging.

If you are aiming for super derpy look, id suggest to take inspiration from Madagascar penguins, Kowalski for example has lots of charisma :)

However, if you are looking for more real-life anima/serious looks id suggest to work on skull shape, beak, eyes and coloring a bit more.

Made a quick edit to illustrate possibilities, first one is your original one, two others are my edit from front and back:

To put that in words, it might look more cute if weight was in the cheeks instead of forehead, if eyes were visible from more than 1 angle and if beak had more expressive.

As for coloring, some thought-through paintover instead of random bits and pieces usually works much better.

Back to Active so you could at least fix the AP, rest is optional, as usual. It can look any way as long as it looks good and trovian :)

Hello!

What a nice idea, a penguin helmet would be an absolutely great addition :)

Unfortunately, i cant check the model in game since there is no Attachment point on your Troxel and there is no blueprint attached. Also please upload an in-game screenshot too.

You did quite a good job about the head shape, its cubit but also a bit rounded at the same time! Although im not sure what that forehead bumb represents? You cant see eyes from the front at all, while real-life penguins have those visible. 

I think helmet would look a whole lot cuter if it was a bit closer to its animal prototype. To be clear, it does not need to be an exact copy of anything, but having elements in common helps with making it recognizable. 

As for coloring, it looks hand painted which i highly appreciate, but it also seems quite random. On the right side it looks closer to fur, but on the left side it forms almost geometrical shapes. Some brushing up on that could be great :)

Going to set status of this one to Active. Note that you do not have to do any adjustments at all, you already earned your contest participation token :) But if you do, please be sure to upload all necessary files and set status to Review.
