Custom Paint Helmet Thread!!

here is my full face that I just got done recently. It still has the masking tape on in in these pictures and needs to be put back together but I wanted to post it first. I do airbrush work too but this style isn't like anyone else's so I want to focus on hand painting stuff.
That looks like it was really well done man. Nice work.
Nice work rideHRD! Very Drew Brophy-ish

That's kind of where I learned from! About 15 or so years ago I used to paint surfboards. At that time I started out having to copy Brophy's style. The flag helmet is original, the half shell is not. The half shell is from a lost surfboard that my son liked. So yes, it should look the same, good eye.

That is going to look so sick once it's been clear coated!
They are both still sick work. You've got the style pinned. First time I've seen it in mtb community. Looks like you've got more lids in the background, keep the images coming!
Your style is very condusive to old school Marvel characters. A helmet with the Hulk or Thor, Loki, Conan....do it. DO IT!!!
nice!!
Would you mind telling me the name of the markers? I'm about to go to work on an old helmet I have lying around the house.
Come on...somebody put this on a helmet:
actually it's funny you bring that up. I have a helmet coming up that I'm painting with some sort of demon on it...maybe on a horse firing off an M4..shells flying everywhere, bodies on the ground etc. haven't worked out the details or drawings yet, just talk and a deposit.Come on...somebody put this on a helmet:
Wearing that helmet will instantly win you any races you sign up for. You wouldn't even have to turn up at the start gate.
and while involving epic battle, totally unrelated to Frank Frazetta or Conan. Paint the helmet Luke, but don't be surprised if you're pulled into it and devoured....
Do it.
hahahaha that's awesomeDo it.
It was from the show Rob and Big. They had this airbrushed onto the side of their mini horse trailer.
Another classic:

Nice work, I love the design, I need to send you a helmet!
kind of simple... I found this in dumpster (yea I know its nasty) and painted it up. I think it was a little girls old helmet or something 
Really original for MTB helmets. I'm diggin it! Would love to see the finished result.here is my full face that I just got done recently.

I have seen a demo first hand. Real nice finish. Not sure how much skill is required in using it as the guys doing the demos are always the best at using the equipment.
i got this done by luke dobie at LD Designs. i actually got it a few months ago but i forgot to post it in here.
I'm looking for some advice guys. I'm painting my troy lee and i've come up with a small design, just keeping it simple for my first paint job. I did an old motorbike helmet as a practice and it turned out well but the stripes just werent quite straight. They were'nt bad but they just didnt look good enough so i'm just wondering if any of the professionals out there can give me tips or advice on how to get the lines perfectly straight. Are there any special techniques or is it just a case of being very patient until i get the tape perfectly lined up?
