Exploring Specialist Pathway 2

I have begun sketching ideas and designs into my sketchbook, I have been looking at different designs of the the Murmillo Gladiator helmet, there are a few different styles of the helmet all having different patterns and reliefs on the helmet. For the actual model itself I will be creating it separate from the character model.

I have been using websites for reference, they contain a variety of images of gladiator armor and I will be getting books.
