This head dress was designed as part of an A-level art project about costume design... The helmet sprouted from a flight of fantasy I had mid-period one day. I made a 50% mock-up in clay, which, unfortunately was in the kiln when the thermostat burnt out causing the entire contents to melt into a semi-homogenised lump. After this, I abandoned this stretch of the project and fell back on to my original idea. I still really like the piece however, and it even started the development of a comic-fantasy background to explain it, but, at that point at least, I was more of an artist than a comic writer...
