Steampunk Hats & Helmets

Judge Dredd Helmet

 
 

One of my funner commissions was this helmet of the comic character Judge Dredd, who was created by writer John Wagner and artist Carlos Ezquerra. He first appeared in the second issue of 2000 AD (1977), which is a British weekly anthology comic book. He is the magazine's longest-running character. Pictured above is the Judge as originally created. Below is my steampunk interpretation of him.

Pictured above is the customer who commissioned the helmet, wearing the entire costume. I created only the helmet.

Airship Captain's Helmet

This is a steampunked version of an American dragoon helmet circa 1820. The front shield reads "Gryphon Airship".
