Description
Here's the second part! ^^Β This time I tried to come up with a concept for a fully enclosed helmet, and a "muzzle-guard" to protect the face. I hope you can understand my handwriting this time as well.Again, if you have any feedback or alternative ideas be sure to write them in the comments! I'll try to reply as soon as I can.
Check out the first part, and this other work on helmets .

Thank you a bunch!
It's between the two periods, gunpowder starts to be used right during the time of my setting. The cats who made this helmets didn't use firearms though, those were later introduced by humans.
That's a nice suggestion, but maybe a bit tooΒ modern for my taste!

My only concern is that the elongated point might back the helmet easier to knock off without being secured by more than the string under the neck. Also potentional for choking if the helm is pushed backwards. Perhaps some padding, a wider strap to secure it, or a gorget might help. Still, definitely an improvement, and the mask is really cool.

Yeah, I also thought about it! Maybe some padding can make the fit tighter? The mask would also help, together with what you suggested. Thanks for the feedback!

You're very welcome! ^^

The shape looks like it will deflect strikes reasonably well!

Glad you think so!

Iβm sorry to bother you but Iβm having trouble designing modernized helmets for cat creatures. Like instead of steel itβs a Kevlar style of material and Iβm unsure how to get around the ears without presenting a rather revealing shape.

I'm afraid I can't be much of help. I don't know enough about modern helmets, the materials that are used, or which shapes are ideal to deflect hits.

Thank you for replying, itβs understandable. Iβll continue with helmet designs until I finalize with something.

This is so cool! I love how much thought you put into both of the helmet designs.

Thank you so much!

Wont the mask restrict movements of the muzzle a bit to talk?
π: 0 β©: 1
Maybe? Unless it's open under the chin.

The development of the helmet-wear is coming along nicely. ^^

You are quite welcome, 0laffson.

I can't stop thinking about onions when I see this helmet. Onions are cool.

Haha you are not the first!

I love these studies.Β Helmets are one of those things not taken into consideration often enough, and it's good to see genuine thought put in.Β And the end designs are cool too.

Thank you!

Looks like it could be knocked off pretty easily if you hit it right.

Hopefully some padding can make the fit a bit more tight? And the mask would help too, of course.

Looks good. You've pretty much converged on the old "pig snout" bascinet, with maybe a bit more room for the ears.
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha I guess I did!

It's a really good design with the helmets, specially the mask

Glad you think so, thanks!

I love this, especially the muzzle guard concept. I had a similar idea in mind, with the muzzle guard and the helmet as a whole styled to look like a sabertooth skull.

Thanks!

I really like this design! The shape would allow a glancing hit from an arrow to be redirected and a sword to be knocked off course

Thank you!

Kinda seems a bit Hungarian or Polish now that I look at it. But it still looks good.
π: 0 β©: 1
It was mainly inspired by Ottoman and Indo-persian helmets, but Polish helmets also have some similarities I guess!

Samurai masks, or hell, just masks with facial designs on them, are just cool.
Ever seen those bandannas wirth skull patterns on them - the ones that look like different animalsβ jaws? Those are badass.
π: 0 β©: 1
They sure are!
Oh, I agree, they can be extremely intimidating!

A reasonable evolution!
Love the snarll on the muzzle-protection.

Well, if you looking for how shape deflects the hits, that's pretty simple : take a vertical armor of 2mm of metal. That's our degree 0. If something hits it horizontally, it will not change anything. Now, incline that armor to 60Β° from our 0, and then, when the hit is horizontal, the effective armor increases because of the angle. An angle of 60Β° doubles the thickness of the armor. So now, our armor is not 2mm, but 4mm of metal. (Hope you understood something to my waaaaayyyy too complicated explanation).
π: 0 β©: 1
haha I got it, but I'm too lazy to verthink the issue too much!
π: 0 β©: 1
That's how a vehicle with only 10cm of armor can turns on 50cm of effective armor : angle.
Anyways, that's quite too "advanced" for those iron-age guys XD.

i like the angry mouth proudly on display on the mask, but aren't the eyes still a very vulnerable spot?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yep, eyes are still vulnerable, but every helmet has some weak spot in the end.

Interesting design as well! and the mask does a good job on making the wearer look more fierce!

Hello:
Β It is an interesting design, the helmet shape has a asiatic-egyptian vibe to me.

Thanks!

Hello:
Β You are welcome! 
Β I also like that you protect the muzzle too.
π: 0 β©: 0
Good design here.
The head can be lowered using the top for a good pummel.
Ears are well protected.
The muzzle guard effect and intimidating.
Few protruding pieces on the helmet make it less likely to be pushed about.
The feathers can serve as an indication of rank or station.
A free anthro one color and owned anthro a different color.
A private one color and a Sgt another.
