Too big Helmets

Tarum

Hello there,
sorry in advance for my English :neutral:
anyone think that the head appears too big and cartoonish with helmet on, expecially heavy?
This is an example, compared with the very old Morrowind design for a variety of bonemold.
Does anyone think that helmet could be a tad smaller?
thanks!

    1st of all, your english is very good, so no worries there.
    2nd of all, you can't really compare the helmets of Morrowind to the Helmets of ESO, especially since the ones from Morrowind are medium armor (as medium was the only type that Bonemold was available in back then), and this one is heavy, not to mention the fact that in Morrowind, the character models were thinner than in ESO. Also, the one there is "Native Gah-Julan" bonemold, and the "Hlaalu styled" one is called "Armun-An" which actually does show to be, comparatively, about the same as the "Hlaalu" ESO helmets.

    Gah-Julan is the bottom left, and Armun-An is the top middle helmet.

    All the helmets are two big, made worse by the fact eso hasn’t heard of the idea that a neck needs armour as well, most female charecters have hidden helmets because it stops them looking like they have a coal scuttle on their head :D

    My problem is not the size. It´s the lack of bonemold textures.

    Hello, and thanks for your comment :)
    I love all the bonemold armour from TESIII. I think they mixed a bit the styles to get a good result, as in fact Hlaalu actual shoulderpad resemble the Gah-Julan (redoran) from morrowind, so i don't mind compare the houses "motif" from the different games :)
    Actually every helmet looks too big (expecially on thin races), i wish they could fix that.

    I wish i could, my character have the bigger body/muscle ratio to avoid this. It Works perfectly with my orc, less with my dunmer, still most of helmets looks bad on him :(

    My problem is not the size. It´s the lack of bonemold textures.
    Agree 100% with you. If i could do a retexture i would do that myself :)
    This is out of the topic, but actually this digital sculpt I did is a real tribute to bonemold, and I think i nailed the Surface texture. Bonemold It's my favourite thing in videogames, really!
