I'm flitting between a couple of different projects at the moment, I'll have some things to show soon. But it's 2021 launch season, and it means I'm gearing up to create a 2021 car. Not entire sure what yet. I'm still pretty new to Photoshop, and I'm gradually getting used to painting again. So here's something a bit different from me, Pietro Fittipaldi's 2020 Haas helmet.
I haven't painted a helmet since what feels like forever. It's probably because I'm not particularly good at it, and I'm not claiming this to be anywhere near a masterpiece. When I was painting helmets for mid-90's cars they were a lot more exposed. Now much of the helmet is hidden behind a Hans device, high cockpit sides and a halo. Essentially, my poor attempt can be hidden away.
A nice helmet design, clearly inspired by Emerson Fittipaldi's helmet design from of old, with the circles reminding me of the top of Barrichello's helmet. I like the hints of chrome, GP4 allows me to use a dark grey on the helmet texture, with a white alpha channel giving a nice chrome like effect.
This is designed specifically for the GP4 2020 mod and here's the download link:
