Body Drill - 3-4 Hours in

Here is my body drill so far...
I know it's between 3 and 4 hours into it, but i wasn't keeping exact time, so that is all I know.
I think that right now it looks pretty decent and I'm pretty sure that i'll be able to pass by the end of tonight.

Head Model After another 2 Hours

Here is my head model after another 2 hours, I really like how it turned out, and it has a very nice african appeal to it. The lips need work and I might decide to spend my last hour on a little bit of detailing, at home... but, for now I'm happy how it turned out, and I'm too tired to keep working on it at the moment anyways.

New Helmet

Today I chose to redo my helmet because i wasn't really satisfied about how it turned out. I'm proud to say that it turned out much better this time around. This time I started with a cylinder instead of a circle because I saw that it helped me keep the wide jaw easier while I modelled. I did the swirly symbol last because I knew that would screw me up again, so the model as a whole is much cleaner and beautiful.
I used the same reference as last time, and here is the final model after only 2 hours:

Modelling Drill 1 - Helmet

For our first drill in modelling, each modeller had to recreate a spartan-ish helmet from a single image.

Here is the helmet I had to do:And here is what my model looked like after 3 hours:

In my opinion, a relatively successful attempt.
I started with a sphere, shaping it into a head-like shape. After achieving the general shape of the helmet, I took out the bottom and made way for the eyes. Then I worked on my overall edge-looping, trying to make it as smooth as I could while developing the shape further. After all that, I worked on the engraving on the top. That ate up most of my time and it had to be done on the model (not using bump/normal/displacement maps) and still it didn't come out how I would have liked it to. Mostly, a pretty productive 3 hours.
