Description
Medieval Helms 5.01 (colored version)

This picture is one of transition of Medieval Helm based on my research.
I've made those pictures till now.
[1] Kettle Hat/ Sallet [link]
[2] Basinet/ Bicoquet [link]
[3] Great Helm: [link]
[4] Armet, Maximillian Helm: [link]

And now, I submitted
[5] Armet / Renaissance Helm.

*** please tell me if there's wrong information! ***


Here is the few information about those helms
Armet
Birthplace: Italian, 16C
Weight: 3.5kg
[Italian name] Elmetto
Because there are so many parts, they are heavy.

Maximilian Helm
Birth Place: German , about 1510
Weight: 3kg
[German Name] Riefelharnisch
[English Name] Fluted Helm
Those flutings make them lighter than not fluted Helms. The thickness is thin, but they are more elastic because of technique of sheet metal.

Renaissance Helm
Strictly speaking, It's ones of Close Helmets ("Geschlossener Helm" in German). And there is no helm that is called "renaissance helm".
But those helms' design are very beautiful (For example, a blue and gold close helmet (garniture of emperor maximilian II) has breathtaking contrast and beautiful design). I call those helms "Renaissance Helms".

This is awesome, i love the English 16th-17th century helmet and it was a huge help in the design of a helmet im doing for a character of mine.

Oh I see no mistake, I'm merely sad that you didn't include any helm pieces from the HRE.

Oh, because they are not "renaissance helm".

Now these helmets really feel like the Medieval European era I like that era's costumes. Any chance of doing chainmails?

monchiken In reply to Watanabe16 [2011-11-13 06:22:35 +0000 UTC]

Yeah But strictly, some helms are not "medieval"(from the 5th century to the 15th century)
But anyway, I'm glad to know you like such costumes

Chain-mails? If you want to see my chain-mails picture, could you tell me your idea? Because I haven't any good idea to draw

I love all of your armour/helmet references - very interesting, very useful and very well done! I love historically accurate artworks (when they aren't fantasy), and these are exactly the sorts of things that make good art better!
Thank you!

Great colors! But in the first glance it looks like they have some kind of soft shiny fur. But I like your results nevertheless. ^^

I like coloring a picture, but for me, making realistic picture is still difficult.

Anyway, I'm glad to hear it from you ^^
