Nova Helmet (Black)

I can't say I was a huge fan of Sam, and I didn't really pick up a lot of his run. I was less interested in Sam himself, and more interested in finding out the details on the Black Helmet Nova Corpsmen and what they were all about.

I'm glad Richard Rider is back, and it's ok that they both share the title, because Sam isn't necessarily bad, I just don't find him as interesting as Richard.

I like the design of the black helmet, which is the reason I invested so much time in this.

This one was created entirely in Blender. I used the Sheep-It render farm to render an quick turntable animation of this helmet, but I ended up getting my own frames back to render, so I pretty much did it myself. I believe I could have adjusted my settings better to prevent that, so I'll know for next time.

Sam Alexander, now himself the last member of the Xandarian Nova Corps after the disappearance of Richard Rider and his dad, Jesse Alexander.

Being a teenager, Sam is a bit irresponsible, and sometimes leaves his helmet lying around in strange places

Hadn't done much besides the modeling at this point. Just trying to get the angle right.
