Mizuha battlesuit progress - helmet (Pixiv Fanbox)

Hello!

Today I would like to share a bit of my process and progress of working on Mizuha's helmet.

I start with the 3D head model of Mizuha and the base helmet accessory found in Koikatsu.

I remove the visor because it won't be helpful.

Switching to edit mode.

I select half of the mesh. (Using X-ray mode to grab every single vertex)

I delete it.

Now I can start working.

Next is a huge time skip, I forgot to take screenshots... sorry!

I have adjusted the helmet to not clip Mizuha's hair and take the basic shape required, I also modeled the teeth of the shark.

At this point I have modeled the eyes and white part of the helmet, so I start modeling the shark's fin. I use Mizuha's head with the helmet as a reference.

I continue shaping it.

This is what I have until now, and I think I can finish it by the weekend.

Tell me if these kind of updates are interesting to see and if you would like to see more of them.

The tool I used to export Mizuha's head is SKLX-creator for ILLUSION games, a pretty amazing tool that you can use to get the 3D model outside of Koikatsu and into Blender. I've used it this time because from what I know, there's no way to make a head accessory match exactly a character's head shape other than just adjusting the scale sliders and that can result in hats or helmets that look disproportionate when comparing it to the head.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me in the comments or message me at Discord!
