GP4: Pierre Gasly 2021 Monaco GP Helmet

Next up we have Pierre Gasly's 'gold' helmet used at the Monaco GP. 



The helmet is his usual design but with gold added, and the French swirly flag replaced by a bold gold band on the top. Small changes include a different number 10 in the dark red. I always think it's odd that the red band above the visor does not follow the contours under the visor, so I've replicated that on my helmet, it's not a mistake. I also had fun creating the alpha channels on this, with the matte Alpha Tauri blue, to the super shiny gold and everything in between. I've opted not to put any highlights on the gold, choosing rather to let GP4's reflections do the job. 

Going through these helmets, I'm noticing differences between the original sketch ups to the actual photos, which is a bit annoying, but I've tried to base it on race worn photos if I can. 

There's a lot of Bell helmets this year, Gasly switching from Arai, but my thanks as ever goes to Jvinu for his great shapes, and to Jsoria for whose standard 2021 helmet helped me with the contours of my helmet.
