How do you like my skeleton helmet?

Post by hgeek23 »

Hi guys!
Long time no talk. I have lots more art coming to my gallery, but haven't been on this community in forever.
Part of the reason is because i am now the National Skeleton (aka head-first luge) athlete for Israel.
It is my birthday today and in that honor i commissioned an airbrushing of my helmet.
See what you think!

Ah, that's Theodore hertzl. He is quoted on the helmet. "If you will it, it is no dream". He's an important figure in the early Zionist movement.
The artist misinterpreted a Gundam to be the shield that was being held by the mecha... Disappointing.

It still looks pretty cool. Makes me want to ride a motorcycle just so I can have a spiffy helmet.

Ah, okay. He sounds extremely familiar.

You'll have to excuse me since it's been almost twenty five years since I took a Jewish history class so my memories on the matter have rather faded now. :D

It's a cool helmet. Thanks for sharing it.

Congrats on making it onto your national team, to have a chance to be representing your nation in events such as the Winter Olympics is a rare feat. :cheers

Thanks, guys. Yep making it into the sport was as difficult as finding a super hard wishlist cel :)
Will be getting a backup helmet this off-season. Wonder what other characters to put on it...
