Using the pen tool in Adobe Photoshop, I traced/vector the shape of the helmet using the pic I use as my trophy shot, it's nothing but sharp corners and straight lines when I finish, so using the convert point tool, I fiddle with the lines of the shape to make curves, like the top of the helmet. I only vectored the left side of the helmet, this if because I'm unable to vector the right side exactly like I did the left. I then make a copy of the left side, flip it horizontally, and adjust it so it makes up the right side of the helmet. The 'holes' in the helmet like the visor and the holes on the side were also made using the pen tool, but using a different setting, where I can make empty spaces or shapes inside the shape I already made.
The heroic swords, or machete's I think they're better described as, I did the same thing, I vectored the one on the left first, made a copy of it, flipped the copy, and moved it so both machete's were crossed.
This thread.Seems like all he did was trace over the emblem with the pen tool, and made curves also to display curved lines and edges.
I'll have to look into this tomorrow, for I am heading to bed. I only want my emblem done for my YouTube channel. If I use the regular, low res version, it looks pixelated at times at certain view angles. I want the best quality I can possibly get for my headquarters.
